Artitude's little green efforts

the team has been rather mindful of our production methods & processes to ensure that we can be as green that we can be...we thought you might be curious to know!

First and foremost, we use high quality and environmentally responsible vinyl from Germany, Oracle Corporation, which has been awarded ISO 14001 environmental certification in 14 countries since 2007. The ISO 14001 standard, created by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), specifies a set of requirements for the creation and implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS), which helps organisations to minimise any negative impact their operations have on the environment. This also explains why our decals are so long-lasting and frankly, have surprised a decent number of folks with its great quality. We DO NOT use cheap quality vinyl materials that we are not sure of their manufacturing process at their source.

The bits and ends of our decal materials are not thrown away! They are reused to make our parcel more securely wrapped so that they reach you safely and 'colourfully'!

Unbleached paper is used to print our instruction sheets & mailing labels. So now you know why the paper feels so vintage!

& you know what? Our studio air-con is set to only a range of 25 -27 deg celcius & we have evolved to become very comfortable in it, woots!

Our namecards are printed on 100% recycled paper & we do not laminate them! they may not look so glam & poshed, but we love the earthy feel.

There is more you can do for us too! We strongly hope all Aritude fans can recycle the white backing paper after you have installed the decals, if you are not already doing it!

We are so proud of Pam's self-installation work and are very grateful for her kind feedback and photos!

For folks who like to get wall messages decals and paste them on glass, do note the following tips:

1) To ensure that the words pasted are aligned properly and not slanted, do use a marker pen to make markings on the glass (erase the line after installing) before installing.

2) Peel off the white backing paper off, then scrape decal on the glass using our Artitool (or any plastic card) from one end to the other.

3)Remove the transparent transfer at one go after all decals are pasted on the glass.

4)Do note that view of the word on one side of the glass will be laterally reflected, so you would have to decide from which side to paste the words on.
