Step 1: Selecting the best materials<\/h2>

Creating your kids' range should start with choosing the very best materials for children's sensitive skin.<\/p>

Choose organic cotton for quality and softness<\/h3>

All Teemill kids' clothing is made with certified organic cotton<\/a>, printed using water-based inks and sent in plastic-free packaging. Every item is printed to order, so there's no waste and you don't need to hold any stock.<\/p>

\"\"There are lots of benefits to using organic materials. It makes our products stronger, longer lasting, softer and breathable. Perfect for keeping up with all the antics kids get up to.<\/p>

It's also a material that has huge benefits at an environmental level, boosting biodiversity and soil quality because no chemicals are sprayed on the fields.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

And because it involves no nasties, it's kind to skin, ensuring that little ones stay comfy and happy all day long.<\/p>

Made to be remade when they grow out of it<\/h3>

Our Remill scheme<\/a> is the ideal complement to your children's clothing.<\/p>

\"\"Since kids grow fast, parents will inevitably be left with piles of out-grown tees every few months. To make sure it doesn't end up as waste, you can encourage them to send their clothing back to us to be remade into new products.<\/a> They'll receive a Remill voucher in exchange to say thanks. We're now accepting 100% cotton clothing from any brand (see full Ts & Cs at remillfibre.com<\/a>) with Free UK postage included.<\/p>

When you enable the Remill plugin,<\/a> your customers can use their Remill vouchers in your checkout, for the value of up to \u00a35 off their next order.<\/p>

This means you can tell parents to send back their worn-out kids' clothing and get a voucher per item to spend on the next size up of their child's favourite designs.<\/p>
