Sustainability

Build a More Sustainable Future With Every Project

Every print decision we make from the materials we use to how we dispose of them has an impact. Within our industry in particular we are in a position to facilitate and nurture change.

Sustainability isn’t a trend. It’s a responsibility that applies to every project, every day. And as awareness continues to grow around the environmental footprint of printed materials, it’s more important than ever to think holistically about the lifecycle of your prints.

Whether you’re creating signage, packaging, or promotional materials, your printing choices can help reduce waste, extend product life, and signal your brand’s commitment to something bigger.

The Lifecycle of a Print: Make Every Stage Count

Start With Smart Materials

Eco-conscious printing begins with what you choose to print on. Using responsibly sourced paper, recycled stock, and low-impact inks helps minimize your environmental footprint from the very first step. Look for materials that are certified sustainable and avoid those that contribute to landfill waste.

Did You Know?

Recycled paper requires about 60 percent of the energy used to make paper from virgin wood pulp.

Short and Long Term usage

Printed materials serve different purposes. Some make a quick impact, others are built to last. Both can be sustainable when designed thoughtfully. Short-term prints benefit from recycled or recyclable materials, while long-term pieces gain value through durability and reuse. Smart choices help your message and the planet go further.

Did You Know?

Most paper is recyclable between five and seven times.

End With Intention

The end of a print’s life is just as important as its beginning. Choosing recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable materials — and making sure they’re disposed of properly — ensures that your sustainability efforts don’t stop when the job is done.

Did You Know?

Recycling 1 ton of paper can save 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space.

A sample of eco-friendly products we're using

EAGLECELL™

EAGLECELL™ is the recyclable, eco-friendly option for replacing plastic, metal and wood as an all-paper honeycomb graphics board with 100% fully recyclable paper core and surface papers. EAGLECELL™ boasts a unique open core design with 95% open space, rendering it lightweight while providing I-beam-like superior structural strength.

Polyurethane

Polyurethane adhesive vinyl wrap films are a newer generation of wrapping material used for applications like vehicle wraps, protective films, and architectural surfaces. Instead of being made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which is the traditional base material for vinyl wraps these wraps use polyurethane (PU) as the base.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate signs are a more sustainable option thanks to their durability, reduced replacement needs, and lower toxicity compared to PVC. They’re lightweight, recyclable through specialized programs, and don’t release harmful byproducts when incinerated. While not biodegradable, their longevity helps minimize waste over time, making them a greener signage choice.

Eco-Friendly Papers

We offer a wide range of paper stocks, including eco-friendly options to suit any project. Just ask us about our sustainable choices next time you print. We also carry FSC-certified papers, verified by the Forest Stewardship Council—an international organization committed to responsible forest management and environmental care.

Sustainability Is Good Business, Too

Today’s audiences value accountability. When your print materials reflect sustainable values, they don’t just represent your brand — they enhance it.

Eco-conscious printing can become a meaningful part of your brand story. It shows that your business cares about the details, and about the bigger picture. From reducing your environmental impact to boosting your credibility, printing sustainably is a decision that pays off in more ways than one.

Choose Prints That Reflect Your Values

Sustainable printing is about more than materials — it’s a mindset. A commitment to better practices at every stage of your print’s lifecycle. By thinking beyond the print job and considering its full journey, you’re helping to create a smarter, cleaner, and more responsible future.

So the next time you need business cards, banners, or anything in between, choose a printer that shares your values.

Make sustainability part of your process and your promise.
