About Us
Giving You the Choice of Greener Print
We at Sales Print Design are not scientists, we are printers; we hear and read the same as you. It is now a fact that the need to "Go Green", recycle and being aware of our own carbon emissions has become a way of life. Financial incentives are there for those who embrace these ideals, and penalties for those who choose to ignore them.
So what are Sales Print Design doing?
Well, the answer is 'quite a lot'. We, as part of the communications industry, are very aware of our responsibilities to change, and as a result we source suppliers using the latest pre-press equipment (computer to Plate), to do not just our bit but to exceed, and place ourselves at the forefront of our industry's response.
All of our paper and board are supplied by paper merchants who subscribe to the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).
So what are the benefits of our actions?
Chemical-free and process-free plates, which means "no chemical waste or pollution".
Printing plates after use are 100% recyclable. Paper - recycled papers can be used from as little as 30% recycled content through to 100% recycled content. These will all conform to NAPM industry standards and forest stewardship regulations governing all raw products used in paper production.
Sales Print Design use trade-only factories also adhere to a post production waste policy where all paper trimmings and over-runs are collected weekly and fed back into the paper production cycle resulting in eco savings at source.
The inks our factories use are vegetable based, not mineral or fossil based, with subsequent eco savings.
Will this cost more?
In our opinion the only area where there is added cost is paper, but the price for very high recycled content is coming more into line with traditional papers as demand grows.
The answer to the question is No - by buying environmentally friendly print from Sales Print Design there will be little or no increase on standard commercial rates.
