Making Print More Eco-Friendly
More businesses are becoming visibly eco-conscious. We can help you meet your environmental goals and make your print more eco-friendly.
It’s become increasingly important for brands to show they’re doing the ‘right thing’, environmentally. Print can be seen as being unfriendly to the environment. Print can be sustainable too, and we can prove it.
We offer a range of eco-friendly solutions that cover a variety of potential environmental consequences that print can have – from the source of the paper, to a product’s recyclability.
Carbon-balanced
If you are concerned about the overall impact of a print project on the environment, being able to carbon-balance the paper involved can be reassuring.
Working with the World Land Trust, and at a small additional cost, we can provide a service that offsets the entire carbon footprint of the paper you use – through the planting of trees.
FSC® certified
All our ‘house’ paper stocks are FSC® certified and, because we have an FSC® certification, which many printers don’t, you can incorporate the logo in your print projects.
The widely recognised FSC® (The Forest Stewardship Council®) logo will show that your print used paper from well-managed forests and/or recycled materials.
Plastic-free finishes
Laminating is very popular, but it can also come at a cost to the environment. Typically made of plastic, laminates can make paper more difficult, or impossible, to recycle – but there are alternatives.
We have sourced a range of green options for high gloss, matt and even soft touch finishes for both litho and digital printing processes – so you can have a laminated effect with the reassurance it can be recycled further down the line.
Local = lower carbon
You’ve heard of air miles and food miles, what about paper miles? Ok, it’s not a real phrase, but using a distant supplier increases the carbon footprint of your print. We are Birmingham-based, so your print never has to travel far.
Moreover, why should your mailing have to travel twice? If you’re printing a mailing, we can provide fulfilment – sending straight from us to your audience. We can also store your print stock in our 15,000 sq ft warehouse, easy to order at any time.
