Lisbon wine porta 6

Being such an innovative wine company, Vidigal Wines has decided to print its Porta 6 wine with a label developed by the plastic artist, Hauke Vagt, who portrays a scene of electric trams in Lisbon (an icon of the capital), which in addition to the means of transportation of the residents is a very touristy transport one of the best ways to do to get to know the historical and charming city of Lisbon.

Porta 6 red wine is fresh and pleasant, originally from the vineyards of the Alenquer and Cadaval Region, in the mountains north of Lisbon, is an undeniably typical Portuguese red wine, despite its playful and fun label. Fresh aroma with tropical fruit and citrus, highlighting the passion fruit. With mineral notes.

Hauke Vagt is a German who fell in love with the Portuguese culture and decided to move in the early 90’s. When he moved to Lisbon, he was marveled by the simple way of life of the locals and began to make illustrations and paintings which were sold to tourists in the famous Castle of St. George on one of the highest hills in the city. Nowadays, Hauke has his own atelier located on Rua do Salvador 49 in the Alfama neighborhood where he lives side by side with the characters he paints in his daily life. All characters are portrayed in detail in his paintings and illustrations and the best seller is, of course, the Porta 6 poster that already sold hundreds of copies. Check it out!

Print-on-Demand: A Sustainable Solution

 

Print-on-demand is a progressive approach to clothing production that addresses these environmental issues effectively. This model revolves around creating garments only when an order is placed. Here are some of the advantages of print-on-demand in reducing the carbon footprint:

Waste Reduction: Perhaps the most significant advantage of print-on-demand is the dramatic reduction in waste. Since garments are produced only as needed, the risk of unsold, unsellable inventory is virtually eliminated. This approach minimises the environmental impact associated with textile waste.

Customization and Personalization: Print-on-demand allows customers to personalise their clothing choices. By producing garments on an individual basis, it offers a unique and tailored fashion experience, discouraging excessive consumption.

Sustainable Materials: Many print-on-demand companies prioritise the use of sustainable and organic materials. This choice, combined with the absence of overproduction, minimises the impact on natural resources and reduces the carbon footprint.

Local Production: Print-on-demand facilities are often located closer to the customer base, reducing the need for extensive transportation and the associated greenhouse gas emissions. This shift toward local production further enhances the eco-friendliness of the model.

Reduced Chemical Usage: Print-on-demand often employs environmentally friendly, water-based inks, reducing the need for toxic chemicals in the printing process. This significantly decreases the pollution associated with traditional textile dyeing.

On-Demand Sustainability: The entire business model of print-on-demand is aligned with the principles of sustainability. By producing clothing only as orders come in, it eliminates the need for massive storage facilities and large-scale manufacturing, contributing to a more eco-friendly fashion industry.
