The T Shirt Lifecycle
We found this great t shirt information graphic over the weekend of the lifecycle of a t shirt, it made us smile. We thought it would be good to share with everyone here on the blog. The image is the lifecycle of a t shirt, starting when the t shirt is the best t shirt in your cupboard through to it becoming an undershirt and ending up as a duster.
An infographic or information graphic is a visual illustration of some data or knowledge, they seem to be very popular on the web at the moment.

Most of my clothes follow this flowchart! My Italia 1990 World Cup T Shirt and Shell suit fall into the Keeper category at the moment, but could quite easily be moved into archive or resell category as I run out of room in my cupboard.
We have a great range of t shirts in different styles and colours that are ideal for a wide range of uses, from promotion t shirts to special wicking t shirts.

Fairtrade Towns in UK
Great to hear that there will be another Fairtrade Town in the UK next year. Plans are afoot to make Cumbernauld a Fairtrade town alongside Motherwell up in North Lanarkshire.
There are many Fairtrade towns around the UK and it began back in 2000 with Garstang in Lancashire when it stated they were ‘the Worlds first Fairtrade Town’. There are over 500 Fairtrade Towns with more to come as more towns are planning to apply.
So what is a Fairtrade town? A Fairtrade Town is any area such as a town, city, village, county, zone, island or borough that is committed to supporting Fairtrade and making sure that products with the FAIRTRADE Mark are used (from Fairtrade Foundation). Anywhere can achieve a Fairtrade status and everyone should be involved.
Here at Acorn Printing we fully support Fairtrade and organic clothing, we have a great range of Fairtrade clothing that you personalise for yourself, event for business. Please get in touch if you’d like to find out more about our Fairtrade policy and clothing.
