Intellectual Property Policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Camp Ink draws its own designs and prints your family’s own words. This page sets out where the line sits between the two: what belongs to us, what we will not borrow from anyone else, what we will not print in the personalisation fields, and how to tell us if you think something on campink.shop steps on your rights.

1. What belongs to Camp Ink

The following are owned by Camp Ink or used with permission, and are protected by copyright, trademark and related laws:

• the Camp Ink name and the way it is drawn on this site;
• the artwork and wording of every design, from the hand signals on the Back-In Hand Signals Tee to the drawn loop on the Campground Loop Map Fleece Blanket;
• the range names used to organise the shop, such as Camp Crew Tees, Fire Ring Layers, Picnic Table Mugs, Camp Chair Blankets, Site Signs & Flags and Name Your Site;
• product pictures, preview images, product descriptions and the text of pages like this one;
• the layout of the site and the way the shop is told in the order you set up camp.

The layout of the personalised products is ours too. When you type a name into the Family Campsite Metal Sign, the words are yours; the lettering style, the frame and the arrangement around them are our design.

2. How our designs are made

We start from things every camper knows and nobody owns: the arm signals a spotter gives while a trailer backs in, a level bubble that is nearly centred, a power pedestal, a site post, a percolator, a striped awning, a ring of camp chairs. These are everyday objects and shared habits of campground life. We draw them ourselves and write our own lines to go with them.

That choice shapes what you will and will not find in the shop.

The same rule applies to our words. Product titles, descriptions and search terms on this site do not use other companies’ names to attract attention, and we do not describe a product as being “like” or “compatible with” a named brand.

3. No connection with any campground, park or maker

Camp Ink is an independent shop. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any campground, campground chain, park service, membership club, RV or trailer manufacturer, outdoor brand or organisation. Our products are not official merchandise of anything. A site number on a sign is whatever number you type, and a rig on a tee is a drawing of no rig in particular.

If you ever see a Camp Ink product described elsewhere as official or licensed merchandise of a third party, that description did not come from us. Please tell us.

4. Your words on our products

Five products carry typed lines: the Family Site Name Tee, the Family Name Speckled Ceramic Camp Mug, the Family Site Name Fleece Blanket, the Family Site Name Garden Flag and the Family Campsite Metal Sign. Each takes a Name line of up to 16 characters, an optional Site line of up to 16 characters and an optional Est. year between 1950 and 2026.

The text you type stays yours. By placing the order you give us permission to reproduce it on the product you ordered and to pass it to our print partner for that purpose. We do not reuse your family’s name on other products or in our pictures.

You also make us a promise: that you have the right to use the words you type. For almost every order this is simple. “The Hollis Crew / Site 14 / Est. 2019” is a family, a number and a year. “Nana & Pop’s” and “Rolling Home” are nicknames. Nobody else has a claim on those.

What is welcome in the fields

• Your surname or the surname of the family you are buying for, with their blessing.
• First names and family nicknames.
• A name you have given your own rig or your own site.
• A site number, a loop letter, a row or lot number.
• The year you started camping together, on the Est. line.

What we decline to print

• Brand and company names, including RV makers, truck makers, outdoor gear, drinkware and food or drink brands, whether spelled normally or altered to hint at them.
• Named places that are businesses or protected names: real campgrounds, resorts, campground chains, membership clubs and park names, where the text would make the item look like that place’s own merchandise.
• Teams, leagues, schools and organisations, including scouting organisations and their mottos.
• Characters, titles and quotes from films, shows, books, games and songs.
• Celebrity and public-figure names used without permission.
• Text made to look official, such as wording that copies a campground office sign, a ranger sign or a regulatory notice.
• Hateful, harassing, threatening or sexually explicit text, whoever it is aimed at.

Why a place name can be a problem and a site number is not

People sometimes ask why they cannot put their favourite campground’s name on the Site line. The name of a campground business is usually that business’s trademark, and a sign carrying it can look like something the campground sells or approved. A site number, a loop letter or your own nickname for the spot says the same thing to your neighbours without borrowing anyone’s name. If you own or manage a campground and want its name printed, email us first from an address that shows the connection and we will help.

What happens if an order contains text we decline

There is no proof stage at Camp Ink and we print exactly what is typed, so most orders go straight to production. Where personalisation text comes to our attention as breaking this policy, we may decline that item. If we do, we cancel it and refund it, and we email you to explain so that you can reorder with different wording. You can also change the text yourself within 24 hours of placing the order by emailing us; see Cancel or Change an Order.

If you are unsure whether a line is acceptable, ask before you order. A short email saves a wasted print.

5. Using what is on this site

You are welcome to:

• browse and print pages for your own personal use;
• share a link to a product or page with family, a camping group or the neighbours in your loop;
• photograph the item you bought, at your own site, and share that picture as you please;
• quote a short passage of our text with a link back to the page it came from.

Please do not:

• copy our designs, product pictures or descriptions to sell, to list on a marketplace or to print on other goods;
• trace, redraw or lightly alter a Camp Ink design and present it as your own;
• use the Camp Ink name, or anything confusingly close to it, in a way that suggests you are us or work with us;
• collect the site’s content in bulk with automated tools, apart from ordinary search engine indexing;
• feed our artwork or text into tools in order to produce imitations of our designs for sale.

Buying a tee, mug, blanket, flag or sign makes that object yours to use, give away or resell second-hand. It does not transfer any right in the design printed on it.

6. Reporting something you believe infringes your rights

We take other people’s rights as seriously as our own. If you believe a product, picture or piece of text on campink.shop infringes your trademark, copyright, design right or right of publicity, tell us and we will look into it.

Which route to use

What to include in an IP concern

1. Your name, your email address and your relationship to the owner of the right, for example owner, employee or authorised agent.
2. The right you rely on: the trademark and where it is registered, the design, or the person whose name or likeness is involved.
3. The address of each page on campink.shop that concerns you. A product link is the quickest way for us to find it.
4. A short explanation of why you believe the content infringes that right.
5. A statement that the information in your report is accurate and that you are the rights owner or are authorised to act for the owner.

Send it to support@campink.shop. You may also post it to Camp Ink, 219 Baer Creek Dr, Kaysville, UT 84037, US, though email reaches us sooner.

7. What we do with a report

We reply within 24 hours on business days to confirm we have your report. We then review the content against what you have told us. If we need more detail, we ask for it before deciding. Where a report is well founded, we remove or change the content and let you know. Where we believe the content does not infringe, we explain why.

If a report concerns text a customer typed onto a personalised item, we deal with it as an order matter with that customer; we do not pass a customer’s personal details to the person who reported it unless the law requires us to. Information in your report is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

Please report in good faith. A report that knowingly misstates the facts wastes everyone’s time and may carry legal consequences for the person who sent it.

8. Ideas, feedback and requests to use our work

Campers send good ideas: a role we left off the Camp Crew Roles Tee, a line that would suit a seasonal site. If you send us a suggestion, you agree that we may use it freely and without payment. We will not publish your name or anything personal with it unless you say we may. Please do not send artwork or wording that belongs to someone else.

If you would like to use a Camp Ink design or picture, for a campground newsletter, a club page or anything else, ask first by email. Tell us what you want to use, where and for how long. We answer every request, and nothing may be used until we have agreed in writing.

This policy sits alongside our Terms of Service, which contain the rules for personalised text in full, and the DMCA page for copyright notices.
