ECO-FRIENDLIER MANUFACTURING Making smaller footprints. The production, conversion and finishing processes used to create printed products provide plenty of opportunities to reduce environmental impact. Historically, printing methods often prioritized efficiency and cost over environmental considerations. Today, greener production methods have significantly reduced the environmental impact of printing - from more eco-friendly inks and coatings, to reduced energy consumption and waste disposal. Stand Up Pouch Flexible Packaging is a great way to stay ecoconscious. It uses less plastic than rigid forms of plastic packaging and is lightweight, making it easier to transport which reduces fossil fuel and greenhouse gas emissions. Post-it® Note Cube Post-it® Note Cubes are noteworthy not only because of their full color printing but because they are manufactured in a landfill-free facility. Folded Cartons Unlike many competitor products, these cartons are produced in the USA and require no overseas shipping - reducing fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions. Full Color Decals Our window, wall and floor decals are printed with a water-based latex ink or a UV Gel Ink set which carries the UL GREENGUARD Gold Certification for low VOC emissions levels. Short-Run Digital Business Cards Our four color flat business cards (in quantities from 250-1000) are run on digital presses, saving on paper, ink and plate waste, not to mention chemical cleaning solvents. Digital printing also uses less energy than offset printing. 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 "Manufactured using eco-friendlier practices" "Printed in a facility committed to sustainability." "Made in the USA" Printable statements: A recent study found that, for a small print run, offset printing used 3.7 times more paper than digital printing for the same job. That same study found that offset printing used about 16g/impression of ink, while digital printing only used 1g/impression.
