Designed by Thilo Sturm, the picture of the umbrella- thorn acacia, a tree native to the African continent, was printed using Magna Colour Aquaflex V2 in Pantone P364C. It was printed by German company Subucoola using an M&R Sportsman EX screen print machine on an EarthPositive Unisex Classic Jersey T-Shirt (EP01) from Continental Clothing, as well as a Stella Wants fitted round neck T-shirt from Stanley/Stella. For each T-shirt the company sells, it ensures that at least five trees are planted. The company is already responsible for 760 planted trees in Zambia. www.subucoola.de www.tree-shirt.net DECORATED PRODUCT OF THE MONTH The Tree Shirt Company plants trees for every T-shirt sold Fespa is now accepting entries for its 2019 awards The 28th edition of the Fespa Awards is now open to those wanting to highlight outstanding examples of print.
