How Green? FSC Certification leads the way.

We are very conscious, as is every responsible printing company, of doing what we can to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

In printing terms environmental efficiency has improved markedly in recent years. The process of making plates which once involved film and processing chemistry is now very clean. We use processor-less aluminium plates which once imaged on our CTP are processed on the press. The plates themselves are recycled after use. On the press we use vegetable based linseed oil inks.

FSC certification means that most of the papers we use are produced from sustainable forests; increasingly customers are themselves specifying recycled or part recycled stocks as part of their own green commitment. All excess paper waste during production is collected for recycling. For more information about the FSC certification logo and sustainable print, click here.

A little more tangentially, it is now more cost effective to print lower volumes so customers now can have the 400 leaflets they want rather than ‘oh, its not much more for 1,000’, so less waste.

In house our new factory is extremely energy efficient. And around half our staff cycle or walk to work.

If you would like help in making your print a little more eco friendly by printing on papers with FSC accreditation please let us know.
