Paper is alive and well... FSC

Rest assured, while you are working with us to grow your business, you are also directly helping to reduce your impact on the planet.

We have never been tagged as "environmentalists" or "tree huggers," but we have always believed in the responsible use of our Earth's resources.  Over a year ago, we received our chain of custody certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).  In order to receive this internationally recognized designation, our papers and inks have to go through a rigorous review to verify that they came from eco-responsible sources that comply with the highest standards in the market.  Like a lot of certifications, it is a bit daunting to meet all the necessary requirements, but it is an important part of who we are. 

FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.  Established in 1993 as a response to concerns over global deforestation, FSC is widely regarded as one of the most important initiatives of the last decade to promote responsible forest management worldwide.  For more information, go to fsc.org.

You may have seen the FSC logo on printed or wood-manufactured materials.  Because we have received certification from the Forest Stewardship Council, we can produce materials on FSC certified paper and can print your projects with the FSC logo on them.

FSC or not, virtually all the materials we use today come from sustainable forests and/or recycled materials.  Now that's good news that benefits us all!
