Ethical Manufacturing

Whimsey Sky, LLC products feature original artworks that celebrate wonder. All products are made with ethical labor or sound environmental practices and, whenever possible, both. 

This means that when we choose a manufacturer, we are looking for companies that check as many of these boxes as possible:

• Waste minimization in production and/or shipping practices
• Options for limiting the use and disposal of harmful chemicals
• Shipping facilities strategically located to reduce carbon footprints
• Fair wages for laborers
• Clean, safe environments for laborers
• Policies against the use of prison labor and other forced labor 
• Policies against the use of child labor 
• Third party monitoring to ensure ethics enforcement
• Programs to improve communities and the environment

Not all manufacturers will check all the boxes, but they must fulfill at least one of these ethical standards to be considered for partnering with Whimsey Sky. Individual manufacturing practices are listed below.

Printful

Printful is Whimsey Sky's flagship manufacturer. We chose Printful as our first manufacturer because they were overwhelmingly committed to the ethical practices that matter most to us.

Sustainability

Printful produces all of the items currently available in our store. 100% of Printful's products are POD (Print on Demand), reducing inventory waste, and 81% of their products are delivered in the region where they're produced, lowering the carbon footprint for transport. They have a growing line of eco-friendly options. You can read more about Printful's Sustainability Standards here. 

Labor Practices & Human Rights

Printful's Code of Conduct prohibits prison labor, indentured labor, child labor, and all other forms of forced labor. They require partnering organizations to provide clean, healthy environments for their employees and use a third party monitoring agency to ensure compliance with these and other standards.

Community Commitments

Printful has a strong and growing commitment to supporting education, LGBT+ organizations, and entrepreneur endeavors. You can read about Printful's current sponsorships here.  

Additional Manufacturers

Whimsey Sky is actively considering a variety of additional manufacturers for future product lines. We will always provide transparency regarding the ethics and rationale for any manufacturing partners, and we'll make sure you can easily identify which product lines align with which values so that you can shop according to your priorities and budget.
