Statement of Principles:

NovelInkworks believes in the power of custom apparel and accessories to bring groups and communities together. We want to help our customers create products with designs that are meaningful and unifying, while also recognizing our customers have diverse viewpoints and perspectives, which are reflected in the designs they create.

We use the following guidelines to balance our customers’ own goals and freedom of expression with the potential impact on others and the general public. We take our role as an expression platform seriously and strive to fulfill it responsibly.

Content Guidelines:

NovelInkWorks Content Guidelines provide guidance for customers in designing custom products. Our Content Guidelines use a sliding scale from “no” to “go” to account for the range of potential designs, so we can work with customers to create a design that meets these standards. The descriptions under each category are not meant to be exhaustive, and the ultimate decision on whether or not to approve a design will always rest with Custom Ink’s Content Guidelines team. Custom Ink regularly reviews these policies and updates them as appropriate.
