Skreened was founded as a privately owned company in 2006. As of August 2012, the site hosts over 50,000 online shops [2] with 300,000 designs.[3]
Corporate Ethics & Giving edit
Skreened messaging makes frequent reference to ethics or Ethical Apparel. The company only sources garments that do not utilize sweatshop labor and have been manufactured in the United States.
In addition, the company claims that 10% of their profits fund Microcredit through kiva.[4]
Technology edit
The Skreened brand name which is likely a reference to screen printing technology is a misnomer. The company uses modified inkjet printers in order to produce items cost-effectively in an on-demand marketplace.[5] The process sometimes referred to as Direct-To-Garment (or DTG) is common among print on demand apparel websites.
