Why Supima® Cotton?
The SUPIMA® trademark is the consumers’ guarantee that the branded textile product they are buying contains U.S.- Grown Pima Cotton. By licensing the entire supply chain (that’s right, the entire supply chain) SUPIMA® provides added assurance to customers that SUPIMA® trademarked goods are made with 100% U.S. Pima cotton.
Only SUPIMA® licensees are authorized to use the official SUPIMA® Hang tag. There is added value to using the SUPIMA® trademark- it means a brand is associated with the highest quality apparel. To maintain the premium focus of the trademark, the SUPIMA® license is non-transferable. This allows SUPIMA® visibility throughout the supply chain of the use of its trademark, as well as to control the quality and integrity of products that bear the SUPIMA® name.
When building our company, it was imperative to us that we use SUPIMA® cotton as it certifies that we are dedicated to providing sustainable and high-quality.
Traceability Unlike Any Other
SUPIMA® utilizes forensic science to test the natural fiber itself and verify its place of origin. To ensure this, SUPIMA® has partnered with Oritain, a global leader in forensic science.
Without clear knowledge of the origin of a product it is impossible to definitively talk about the product. The ability to authenticate cotton to its point of geographical origin enables an open dialogue about all relevant facts, including point of origin, sustainability, and social and economic responsibility aspects. Unlike other technologies that are dependent upon the addition of a tracer or marker.
How Oritain Works?
Sustainability by Nature
Stalks, Stems, & Leaves.
All plant materials besides the seed and fiber are captured during the ginning process and is utilized in the local cattle industry as much needed bedding for livestock. By law, all fields must be cleared of plant material to prevent insect populations from nesting over the winter and affecting the next crops. Many growers will also flood-irrigate fields as a natural way to reduce pests while laying a base level of soil moisture for the next planting season.
CONCLUSION
There is not a better choice when it comes to cotton than SUPIMA® cotton. When purchasing blank t-shirts, it is one of the best decisions one can make. Grown from the high-quality seed, the fibers within are preserved through the ginning process to then be built into the fabric that is understood globally as the best. It offers the consumer a reliable garment that has the softest and silkiest feel possible. We at Purest Thread provide quality SUPIMA® blanks so our customers can have the very best at their fingertips.
