At Temple of Green Elixir, we never believed in mass production or disposable items. We believe that every piece you hold in your hands should carry something of the quality and energy behind it. A T-shirt, a cap, a mug, or a pillow – they all convey the same message: a conscious choice that is comfortable, durable, and stylish at the same time.
Let’s start with our T-shirts. The backbone is the classic Gildan 5000 Heavy Cotton – stable, medium-weight, just the kind of fabric that withstands everyday wear while remaining comfortable and relaxed. During production, OEKO-TEX-certified, low-impact dyes are used, and the cotton is grown in the USA, sourced from pure raw materials. For colored and heather shades, cotton-polyester blends may sometimes be included, but durability and comfort always come first. The production environment also places strong emphasis on social responsibility: Gildan works with certified WRAP-accredited facilities, and for many products, the Fair Labor Association ensures fair working conditions.
We don’t leave prints to chance either: one of the largest Brother GTX DTG installations in Europe makes sure every design is razor-sharp – whether it’s a detailed graphic or a large-scale print. Where colors need to be even more vibrant, we employ EPSON and SEFA sublimation systems – because once you put on this shirt, we want the world to see how seriously we take visual quality.
And then there are the mesh caps. Thanks to their lightweight, breathable net structure, you don’t have to compromise even in summer: your head stays cool, while the front proudly displays the design applied with industrial precision by Kornit Avalanche HD6 machines. These machines don’t mess around – the colors are deep and long-lasting, and the designs withstand the test of time. Plus, the Neopigment™ Eco-Rapid inks are water-based and eco-friendly – uncompromising style with a clear conscience.
And what would a real stoner’s corner be without a mug? With us, your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or evening chill-drink will always land in a mug crafted at the legendary British printing house Harrier Group. Using HP Indigo digital presses, the colors won’t fade – even with above-average dishwasher use. Every piece undergoes strict quality control before being placed in corrugated packaging, guaranteeing it reaches you intact. This is not just a mug – it’s a companion that keeps pace with you, whatever tempo life dictates.
Our pillows combine home comfort with the magic of visuals. MWW On Demand ensures that the covers’ vivid colors are brought to life with the best water-based pigment inks, using sublimation and direct-to-fabric technology. That means these aren’t just soft, inviting pieces – they’re textiles that retain their color and mood even after a long time. The pillow insert arrives vacuum-packed with the cover, safely and space-efficiently packaged – practical yet uncompromising in quality.
How is design born? – The world of printing technologies
When you put on a Temple of Green Elixir T-shirt or cap, or hold one of our mugs, you’re not just seeing a print – you’re witnessing the work of an entire technological background. Modern printing solutions are not only about getting the design onto a surface, but also about ensuring that years from now, you still get the same vibrancy, detail, and durability.
DTG – Direct to Garment
The essence of DTG printing is that the design is applied directly onto the textile fibers. No foil, no intermediate layer – the ink embeds itself into the cotton and breathes with it.
Brother GTX and Kornit Avalanche HD6 printers represent the pinnacle of this technology. They deliver color depth and detail that screen printing simply cannot achieve. Kornit printers also feature a built-in pretreatment system, ensuring that every print automatically gets optimal adhesion and durability. This process is what allows the tiniest shades and fine details on our T-shirts and caps to come alive.
Sublimation – vivid colors, lasting design
Sublimation printing works especially magically on mugs and pillow covers. Under heat, the ink turns into gas and diffuses into the pores of the material. This means the design isn’t just on the surface – it becomes part of the surface itself. EPSON and SEFA machines ensure that mug colors remain bright and dishwasher-safe. On pillow covers, MWW On Demand’s water-based pigment inks guarantee colors won’t fade even after a long time. With sublimation, there’s no peeling, no fading – only durable, eye-catching design.
Digital printing – when paper becomes a lifestyle
The HP Indigo digital printing used for mugs is among the most advanced methods available. This technology delivers photo-quality prints, keeping even the most complex graphics and gradients sharp and vibrant. The entire machine fleet of the Harrier Group is based on this – no wonder they’re among the UK’s leading photo printers.
Sustainability and Consciousness
The common thread in all these technologies is the use of water-based, eco-friendly inks. This isn’t just important for vibrancy but also ensures that every product represents a conscious, sustainable choice.
All this is more than just production – it’s a philosophy. At Temple of Green Elixir, we believe that design is only real when supported by both technology and ethics. That’s why we work with partners like Gildan, Kornit, Harrier, MWW, or OPT – because only this way can we guarantee that every item you order from us is stylish, durable, and conscious.
So next time you put on a shirt with colors that vibrate, adjust your cap filled with the spirit of summer, sip from your favorite mug, or stretch out on the sofa with your pillow – remember: all this is the result of a conscious decision. At Temple of Green Elixir, we don’t just deliver products – we deliver a lifestyle, one that is as much about style as it is about quality.
