Devotional goods and faith rules: what not to print

Most mistakes with religious goods are not about taste but about rules that buyers take for granted. Here are the ones we check on every order.

Catholic

Sacred images are reproduced faithfully and not cropped into decoration. Official logos of sanctuaries, dioceses, orders and the Holy See require permission.

Orthodox and Eastern churches

Icons follow canon: no changes to proportions, colours or inscriptions. The form of the cross follows the church’s tradition.

Islam

No figurative images of people or animals. No Quranic verses or names of God on anything that may be placed on the floor, taken into a washroom or thrown away. Arabic is approved by the buyer in writing.

Judaism

The divine name is not printed on disposable items. Textiles avoid wool-and-linen mixtures (shatnez) where relevant. Ritual objects are for certified makers.

Hindu

No leather. Images of deities never on footwear, floor items or disposable packaging.

Buddhist

Images of the Buddha are not used below the waist, on the floor or as mere decoration.

Sikh

Gurbani and the Khanda are not placed on floor or disposable items.
