I used to work in marketing and advertising and we printed a TON. We printed brochures, fliers, newsletters, direct mail, and all that jazz. Then of course we ordered out for some printing jobs too…like stationary and business cards. I used to go through 200 business cards a week sometimes. It amazes me know wasteful it all was. We had office challenges to find ways to cut spending but no challenges to green our office…I should email them and see if things have changed, LOL.
Nowadays there are green printing companies you can patronize for business cards, fliers, brochure printing, etc. I don’t have a need for any of that anymore but if I did I am so happy there are options. I would be sitting my old boss down and telling her we needed to go green with our printing and I’d be talking about how we could market this to attract conscious clientele and offset costs.
PSPrint is an environmentally conscious printing company that prints business cards, custom stickers, custom postcards, custom greeting cards, posters and more. They recycle all wasted paper and used soy based ink that emit fewer volatile organic compounds than petroleum inks. They are also involved with or members of several eco-friendly organizations. Now if only we could get more businesses on board with this!
Oh, that’s fantastic! I am a small business owner and was actually just about to order new business cards but couldn’t decide on a vendor. Thanks!! :)
There are more and more green printers every day!
I recently got my business cards from Greener Printer and I absolutely love them! I compare them to others’ daily and the quality of mine is always the best. ;)
I wrote about it here: http://perfectlynaturalphotography.com/blog/hooray-my-business-cards-are-here/ if you care to read and see my beautiful cards. :)
We actually switched from PS print to greenerprinter.com because I felt it was a much more environmental choice. The prices are reasonable, although the green shipping can be pricey. Luckily I am in Berkeley so I can pick up in person. They do very nice work.
I’m a designer and welcome this info – Thank you!
