At Printed By Us, we believe that fair pay isn’t a privilege—it’s a basic right. Everyone deserves to earn a wage that allows them to live, not just survive. That’s why we’re proud to be a Real Living Wage employer, ensuring that our team earns enough for a decent quality of life, not just the bare minimum.
What Is the Real Living Wage?
Unlike the national minimum wage, which sets the lowest legal rate employers can pay, the Real Living Wage is a voluntary commitment. It’s calculated based on what people actually need to cover essential costs like food, housing, and clothing—reflecting the true cost of living.
By choosing to pay the Real Living Wage, we’re saying that hard work deserves proper pay, not just the legal minimum.
Why Fair Pay Matters
💛 Supports Financial Independence
When people earn a wage that meets their basic needs, they have the freedom to plan for their future, rather than just making ends meet. This means less reliance on support services and more stability in their lives.
💛 Recognizes Hard Work & Talent
Our team works incredibly hard to create high-quality, hand-printed products. Paying fairly ensures that their skills, dedication, and craftsmanship are valued and respected.
💛 Creates a Fairer, More Sustainable Future
Low wages contribute to poverty and homelessness, two issues were actively working to combat. When people are paid fairly, it strengthens the local economy, reduces inequality, and builds stronger communities.
Holding Our Suppliers to the Same Standard
Our commitment to fair pay doesn’t stop with our own team. We ensure that all of our suppliers uphold the same high standards. Every garment we print on is Fair Wear-approved, meaning the people who make our clothing are paid fairly and treated ethically.
By supporting Printed By Us, you’re not just buying high-quality, hand-printed products—you’re supporting a fairer way of doing business.
Fair Pay Changes Lives
