MADE-TO-ORDER

Duo Arthouse operates a made-to-order business model, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional print production methods. With our made-to-order prints, we create the required amount of materials and energy to produce the final product; reduce waste and lower the carbon footprint.

Unlike mass-produced prints that often lead to excess stock and unsold inventory, our prints are produced only when ordered, which significantly reduces the amount of waste and over-production.

ETHICALLY SOURCED WOOD

The frames we use are crafted using Victorian Ash wood that is locally sourced and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. The FSC Certification is the most comprehensive certification program for forests and wildlife; providing the highest level of protection for rare and endangered species. It is also the only system that requires consultation with local Indigenous Peoples.

SUSTAINABLE PAPER

All of our prints use 310 GSM 100% cotton rag, which is the most environmentally friendly photographic paper option available. This paper is made using no tree fibers, instead it is produced from recycled by-products of the textile manufacturing industry.

Although the cotton industry has many environmental concerns, using a by-product for paper production is considered to have a minimal impact on the environment since no cotton is specifically grown for paper stock.

CONSIDERED PACKAGING

In our partner production warehouse, the packaging material used is Polycell EcoPure; a biodegradable bubble wrap alternative which is designed to degrade in a landfill overtime. 

We also package our frames in cartons from 3BC stock which is comprised of 77% recycled content and 33% from FSC certified kraft fibres that are sourced from Gippsland in Victoria.

SEAL OF AUTHENTICITY

Each print proudly displays Duo Arthouse's unique mark, expertly embossed to confirm its authenticity and high quality.

Reinforcing the individuality and character of each print, a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity is firmly attached to the back of the framed piece.

SUPPORTING LOCAL

Our print and framing partners are based in Richmond, VIC Australia and supports the local economy by employing skilled craftspeople under fair and safe working conditions to produce products that contribute to the livelihoods of many Australian artists.
