Why We Choose Local Production: Our Partnership with Gelato
Faster Delivery, Superior Quality, Global Reach.
At The History Picture Store, we believe that how products are made matters just as much as the historical stories we help preserve. That's why we've partnered with Gelato, a global leader in local production, to bring you high-quality prints while making a positive impact on the environment and communities worldwide.
The Power of Producing Locally
When you order a historical print from us, something remarkable happens behind the scenes. Instead of shipping your carefully crafted historical artwork from a distant warehouse, it's produced at one of Gelato's 140+ production facilities in 32 countries – choosing the location closest to your delivery address. This means your piece of history is likely being printed just hours, not continents, away from your doorstep.
What This Means for You
Faster Delivery: Over 90% of orders are produced and delivered within 5 days. No more waiting weeks for your historical prints to arrive from overseas.
Superior Quality: Every production partner in Gelato's network meets strict quality standards, using top-tier printing equipment and maintaining clean, safe work environments. This ensures your historical reproductions meet the same high standards regardless of where they're produced.
Global Reach: Through our partnership, we can bring historical artwork to over 5 billion potential customers worldwide while maintaining local production quality and speed.
Our Environmental Commitment
By choosing local production, we're actively reducing our environmental footprint. Here's how:
- Reduced Shipping Distances: Local production cuts shipping distances by up to 95%, dramatically reducing carbon emissions from transportation.
- Less Waste: On-demand production means we only make what's ordered, eliminating excess inventory and waste.
- Sustainable Materials: We offer organic products and sustainably sourced materials through Gelato's network.
- Technology-Driven Efficiency: Advanced automation and technology optimise production processes, reducing energy consumption and waste.
Supporting Local Communities
When you order from us, you're not just getting a product – you're supporting local production facilities and communities around the world. Our partnership with Gelato helps sustain jobs and economic activity in dozens of countries, creating a positive ripple effect that extends far beyond your purchase.
The Future of Production
We believe local production represents the future of global commerce. By producing where and when products are needed, we're proving that businesses can achieve scale and profitability whilst being environmentally responsible and community-focused.
Our partnership with Gelato allows us to offer you the best of both worlds: the convenience and quality of local production with the reliability and innovation of a global network. Every order you place with us is a step toward a more sustainable, efficient, and equitable approach to commerce.
