What Allmade does

Allmade is a privately held sustainable blank apparel supplier founded in 2016 in Vancouver, Washington, by a group of approximately 11 US screen printers who sought to address the environmental and labor conditions of conventional apparel manufacturing. The company produces t-shirts, long sleeves, tanks, hoodies, and fleece under six collections: Tri-Blend (50% recycled polyester, 25% modal, 25% organic cotton), Organic Cotton, Recycled Blend, Fleece, French Terry, and Mineral Dye. Manufacturing is diversified across Elcatex Group facilities in Honduras (including San Lucas, St. John, Genesis, and Suyapa), Augustan in Coimbatore, India, and Kay & Emms Global in Pakistan. The company offers a Green Story-powered Impact Calculator that quantifies per-shirt environmental savings, and products are C-FREE carbon certified via the ClimeCo Certified Product Program.

Allmade's go-to-market is built around an exclusive US and Canada wholesale distribution partnership with SanMar and SanMar Canada, finalized in 2019, which routes bulk orders to screen printers, promotional products companies, and retail distributors. A secondary direct-to-consumer channel is maintained through Amazon Marketplace. The company monetizes through one-time wholesale and retail transactions on physical apparel goods (not licenses or subscriptions), with net terms available to qualified wholesale buyers. Annual Camp Allmade trips to Honduras serve as an experiential marketing and relationship-building program for distributors and decorators. Strategic sustainability differentiators include the proprietary Sustendye dyeing technology (85% less salt, ~50% less water, 25% less energy) and cumulative impact claims of 4.1 billion gallons of water saved, 3.1 billion kg of CO2 reduced, and 60 million plastic bottles recycled since 2016.

The business is structured as Allmade Ventures LLC, a US LLC, with 101-250 employees. Ownership remains with the founding group of screen printers; no institutional investment, private equity backing, or parent company is indicated in the source material. The competitive position is that of a differentiated niche player in a commodity blanks category, where brand, sustainability certifications, and the exclusive SanMar distribution relationship are the principal moat components. The addressable market is the sustainable segment of the US and Canadian blank apparel market for decoration, corporate promotional products, and retail.
