TS Designs is a mid-sized apparel company founded in 1977 and based in Burlington, North Carolina, operating in the retail apparel and fashion industry with a focus on high-quality, sustainable T-shirts. It collaborates with brands that want responsibly made clothing and maintains environmentally mindful practices through a fully transparent supply chain. The company has a history of innovation and regional sourcing, including the REHANCE process that prints with water-based ink and then garment dyeing shirts, and the Cotton of the Carolinas initiative that traces cotton from dirt to shirt within roughly a 600-mile radius. It introduced certified organic cotton to the market in 2011 through partnerships with eastern North Carolina farmers. TS Designs became the first certified B Corporation in North Carolina in 2008, and it operates under a triple-bottom-line model—People, Planet, Profit. Its customer base comprises environmentally and socially conscious businesses and organizations seeking garments with transparent origins. In late 2023 the company launched a Print-on-Demand service that uses water-based inks to produce shirts individually on its premium 100% cotton tees.
