Fragile products like mugs or glasses are well-padded, and we use custom-fit boxes so that nothing breaks during transport. Our packaging is minimalist but robust – so everything arrives safely and appealingly and we also contribute to sustainabilityhelp.marketprint.de.

Products & Quality

What is the quality of your products?
We place the highest value on high-quality products. This starts with the materials: Our clothing comes from renowned manufacturers and often consists of durable, tightly woven fabrics (e.g., 180 g/m² cotton for T-shirts) – they feel soft yet are robust. Many textiles are organic cotton of premium qualitybrightlightsarts.de. We also source accessories such as mugs only from manufacturers known for their quality. The printing of the designs is done using modern processes in the highest resolution and color intensitybrightlightsarts.de, so that the motifs are razor-sharp and brilliant. Each product is checked again before shipping. In short: Quality is our top priority so that you can enjoy your item for a long time.

Do you prioritize sustainable and fair production?
Absolutely! We are proud that our products are produced fairly and sustainablyhelp.marketprint.de. This means: We choose environmentally friendly materials – for example, many of our shirts, hoodies, and bags are made from organic cotton or contain recycled fibersbrightlightsarts.de. Our printing inks are water-based and environmentally friendly, without harmful chemicalshelp.marketprint.de. During production, our partners focus on energy-efficient processes and reduce waste; in some cases, production is even climate-neutralhelp.marketprint.de. Equally important to us are working conditions: The manufacturers of our textiles pay fair wages and guarantee safe, humane workplaces – many items bear certificates such as OEKO-TEX or FairWear. And as already mentioned, we avoid plastic in packaging and use DHL GoGreen for the most environmentally friendly shipping possible. In short: Sustainability and fairness run through the entire supply chain, so you can shop with us with a clear conscience.

How are your designs printed on the products?
Depending on the product, we use the optimal printing technique for the best possible result. Clothing such as T-shirts, hoodies, or bags are usually printed using the direct-to-garment (DTG) process. High-performance printers apply the ink directly to the fabric – this allows for detailed motifs in many colors. The textile printing inks used are water-based, durable, and wash-resistant, so the print still looks vibrant after many washeshelp.marketprint.de. For mugs, thermal mugs, and other hard materials (ceramic, metal), sublimation printing is used: The design is vaporized into the surface with high heat. This method ensures that the print is very durable and does not peel off. We print posters and wall art on professional printers in gallery quality. In general, you can rest assured that our prints are razor-sharp and the colors match what you saw in the shop. In addition, the printing techniques are solvent-free and protect the environment. If something is not perfect, let us know – we want you to be completely satisfied.

Are the prints washable and durable?
Yes, our prints are designed to last a long time. Especially on textiles, we use high-quality printing inks and processes so that the motif does not fade or crack even after many washes. However, proper care is also important: Always turn printed clothing inside out when washing and wash at 30°C with similar colors if possible, to keep the print optimally preservedbrightlightsarts.de. Also avoid tumble drying and do not iron directly over the print (or place a cloth in between), then you will enjoy it for a very long timebrightlightsarts.de. Our ceramic mugs are even dishwasher-safe – the print is industrial dishwasher resistant and the mugs are microwave safebrightlightsarts.de. Overall, we pay great attention to the quality of the prints and materials to ensure you receive a durable product. Should a printing error occur, you will, of course, receive a replacement immediately.

How do I find the right size for T-shirts, hoodies & co.?
To ensure your new favorite item fits perfectly, we provide a size chart for each piece of clothing. You can usually find it on the product page under "Size Chart" or in the item description. There, measurements (width and length in cm) are given for each sizebrightlightsarts.de. It's best to take a well-fitting T-shirt/hoodie of your own and measure it (armpit to armpit for width, collar to hem for length) and compare the values with our chart. Our cuts generally correspond to common EU sizes – so you can usually order your usual size. If you are debating between two sizes or prefer a looser fit, choose one size larger just in case. For special fits (e.g., oversized shirts), we will indicate in the product description if they are very wide or tight. And don't worry: If something doesn't fit, you can exchange or return the item within 30 days (see Returns & Exchanges below).

Are your mugs dishwasher and microwave safe?
Our ceramic mugs (330 ml standard "Glossy" mugs) are dishwasher-safe – the print on them even withstands industrial dishwashersbrightlightsarts.de. So you can easily clean them in the dishwasher without the motif fading. They are also microwave-safe (certified according to BS EN 15284:2007)brightlightsarts.de, so you can heat your drink directly in the mug in the microwave. For enamel mugs (metal mugs with an enamel coating), however, we recommend hand washing and not putting them in the microwave – due to the metal rim, sparks could occurgermanupa.shop. Such enamel mugs are robust and shatterproof, but the coating stays prettiest if you wash them gently by hand. Stainless steel mugs with carabiner handles should also be hand washed and are not microwave safe (metal heats up strongly and can damage the microwave). In summary: ceramic mugs – no problem in dishwasher and microwave, enamel and stainless steel – prefer hand washing and not microwave safe. This way, you ensure that your mug and the design printed on it stay like new for a long time.

Returns & Exchanges

Can I return or exchange an item if I don't like it or it doesn't fit?
Of course, we want you to be satisfied. If that's not the case, you can make use of our 30-day return policy – which means you can return products to us up to 30 days after receiptbrightlightsarts.de. The condition is that the items are unused and in their original condition (please no signs of washing, damage, etc.)brightlightsarts.de. How does the return work? It's best to contact us briefly by email (or use our return form) so we know something is coming back. Then, send the goods to our return address in Germany. Important: Please do not simply send the items back to the manufacturer, but always to us, so that we can correctly process the returnsbrightlightsarts.de. As soon as we receive the return, we will check its condition and then refund the purchase amount. The refund is usually made in the same way you paid. You will unfortunately have to bear the costs for the return shipment yourself, unless we have made a mistakebrightlightsarts.de. Tip: If you are unsure about the size, feel free to order two sizes and return one – thanks to the 30-day period, this is no problem.

Can I exchange an item for a different size or design?
A direct exchange (e.g., size L for XL) is not provided for in our system – the quickest way is to return the ill-fitting item and simply reorder the desired variant. As soon as your return is received by us, we will refund your purchase price, and you can already order the correct size independently. This way, you don't have to wait long and won't miss any stock. We only offer an exchange in the classic sense for defects or incorrect deliveriesbrightlightsarts.de: So if an item arrives damaged or we accidentally sent the wrong one, you will of course receive a free replacement of the same design. In such a case, please contact us – we will then take care of everything else (often we directly send a new item and ensure you receive a return label for the incorrect/defective item). Your purchase from us should be risk-free: If something is wrong, we will find a solution.

What do I do if a product is defective or the wrong item was delivered?
Quality is our priority, but in rare cases, something can go wrong. If your item is damaged upon delivery (e.g., printing error, hole in the fabric, broken mug) or we accidentally sent you the wrong product, we sincerely apologize. Please contact our customer support immediately (preferably with a photo of the defect by email) so we can help. In such cases, we naturally take responsibility: We will either send you a free replacement or, if desired, refund the purchase amount – whichever you prefer. We may ask you to return the defective/incorrect item or to keep it – we will clarify this individually, of course, without additional costs for you. Important: Please report complaints as soon as possible (within a few days) after receipt so that we can react quickly. Your satisfaction is our top priority, so: Don't worry about problems – we won't let you down.
