What matters to us

WAVELENGTH cares deeply about the process of creating our products and the impact they have on people and our planet. Everything from the sourcing of materials for our t-shirts, tote bags, and others products to the labels we print and packaging material we use is carefully selected to be as responsible as possible. Check out our Environmental & Human Impact page to see more about our approach.

Sustainability & Ethical Labor

WAVELENGTH is proud to be part of the Frederick small business community that drives the success of our local economy. That’s why we only work with locally owned and operated screen printers to produce our t-shirts, totes, and other products. It might be cheaper to order online and have products printed and shipped from abroad, but we will always support small businesses and buy local services.

Local + Small Business

WAVELENGTH is passionate about our hometown. Frederick is an amazing place, and we are dedicated to being a part of what makes it special. You’ll see us at local festivals, pop-up events, neighborhood gatherings, rallies, and protests. We are a supporter of Frederick Chats and hope that we can be a voice in local progressive conversations and organizing.

Community Engagement

WAVELENGTH is committed to being a business that is a force for good. A portion of profits from every sale sold is donated to local non-profit organizations or national progressive causes. When you buy our products, you know you’re also supporting the issues that matter. Some of the organizations we support are displayed below.
