Union Bugs - are those some kind of labor-organizing grasshoppers? While that would be interesting, the concept of union bugs is actually quite practical...

A union bug indicates an item was printed by a unionized shop. It's the single most reliable visual symbol to know whether your custom promotional product was ethically embellished.

Our union print shops and embellishers can always include a bug, free of charge. The process of stitching makes it hard to include a bug when embroidering, but you can rest assured union members do that, too.

Bugs can be included on T-shirts and apparel items when screen printing, paper products when printing, and in other embellishment processes on various items.
