Does anybody have suggestions for an online service that prints things like business cards, brochures, and pamphlets?

If not FOSS, I would like to find a company online that has principles that align with positive things like workers rights, locally owned, sustainable, etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

But...if it's a service, how can it be FOSS?

I said FOSS friendly. Hellotux.com is a good example, they are a little family owned embroidery shop that uses only FOSS software to run their embroidery machine patterns.

They make merch for various FOSS projects and Linux distros.

Thanks for the link. They're even based in the European Union, so no extra fees (for me).

Take that, AGPL!

Did you look for worker cooperatives?

[–] Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, but didn't get any relevant results. There is a local printing worker coop near me, but they don't do the kind of printing that I am looking for, only zines and similar material.

I'm not sure what a FOSS printing shop would entail, really.

There are union printing shops, though.
