Specs and certifications

When it makes sense
Best fits when buyers in Portugal need a credible sustainability story that survives an audit, not just a label. Strong for employee-facing programs above 250 units; works for event give-aways above 500 units; less ideal for ultra-low-cost giveaways under €3/unit, where the cost delta dominates the story.
Limits and constraints
Lead-time impact: typically +5–8 working days vs the conventional alternative because of secondary certification checks. Decoration: water-based DTG, dye sublimation and laser engraving are preferred; avoid plastisol where possible. End-of-life: only mono-material variants reach genuine recycling streams in Portugal; blended versions are downcycled or landfilled.
