About Eco-Friendly Printing

By using paper from well-managed sources, you’ll be ensured that the paper you are using for your project came from trees in a documented, reputable forest that follows strict guidelines for maintaining the ecosystem around it.

The Forest Stewardship Council is an organization that does just that. Look for the FSC's logo to identify products and paper that are certified. Vegetable-based inks are from renewable resources and emit less volatile organic compounds (VOCs) than non-renewable petroleum-based inks. Water-based aqueous coatings protect printed pieces with a high-gloss surface to increase longevity.

They are also safer for the environment because no harmful solvents are used in the cleanup process.Use die cuts and embossing as a way to create an interesting piece that also uses eco-friendly finishing processes.

Benefits of Green Printing

More sales opportunities. Environmentally concerned clients who may have been hesitant to market because of environmental impact can feel more comfortable doing so with green printing used in their promotions.

Feel better about your marketing.

The world often perceives marketing as a wasteful practice. However, it is still essential in every business. Because of technology, we are manufacturing with greener, more resourceful printing processes and materials now more than ever. Combined with the power of electronic information exchange and use of the internet, developing a targeted, multi-faceted program is not only more efficient, but also more effective.

You’ll save money.

Most would think that something new or cutting edge is more expensive. That is not the case with Proforma. There are many FSC certified papers that fall into the same price group as base stocks. Combined with using print-on-demand technology, you can save by running exact quantities, thus minimizing waste through overruns and obsolescence.

Do your part to better the earth.

It’s the goal for all of us. If every person leaves less of a carbon footprint, we’ll keep our world beautiful and safe the future.
