BelieveTek.Illegal.WebDesigns by Gardenfire—known mainly for apparel—now appear on BelieveTek technology products under a new partnership between the two companies.

BelieveTek, a faith-based technology company owned and operated by Steve Crawford and Josh Warren, wants to bring a message of “accountability when surfing the Internet, so we are working on some designs for the keyboards and mice for that reason,” Warren said.

Under the new agreement, Gardenfire designs will be used on BelieveTek’s wireless keyboard ($59.99 retail), wireless mouse ($34.99), iPhone and Samsung case ($24.99); iPad case ($34.99) and Kindle Fire case ($29.99).

One example of the eight Gardenfire designs currently used on BelieveTek products is owner Jayme Brandt’s best-selling “Illegal” design highlighting the persecuted church, which states, “This message is illegal in 53 countries. Restricted nations: 40. Hostile areas: 13.” Another is the “Born Again” design.

Berean Christian Stores and Mardel Christian & Education as well as some Family Christian Stores locations carry BelieveTek products, as do the online sites C28 and Christianbook.com.

“We are currently in over 200 stores and will be growing more now that we are in the CBA,” Warren said.

Founded in 2011 and located in West Linn, Ore., a suburb of Portland, the company uses a patented digital print technology. Products are printed in the U.S., and the company does not use wraps or stickers.

Designed for both personal and professional use, BelieveTek products also include earbuds, headphones, Bluetooth wireless speakers, calculators and flash drives.

BelieveTek is selling the designs in a package for stores to merchandise them together for a stronger presentation. To order, visit Anchor Distributors at www.anchordistributors.com or call 800-444-4484.
