It’s important to consider the environment when planning your graphic projects, but this doesn’t always have to mean recycled products –  but it’s a good place to start. Here are a selection of our eco graphics solutions and advice on how to plan your project to benefit both your budget and the planet.

USE RECYCLED PRODUCTS

We can help you keep your environmental impact low without compromising on print quality or product longevity with our range of Eco Graphics. With sustainability paramount, we have an eco-friendly material option for most wall graphics and signage applications. Look out for these symbols which show how recyclable each product is. Some are recycled by the manufacturer and will need to be recalled.

Paperboard (Cereal and snack boxes)

Polypropylene (Yoghurt pots, medicine bottles, caps and straws)

REDUCE WASTE

Think economically about materials. No matter what material we’re printing to, there will always be some waste. The print-feed process alone will waste an amount of material at both the beginning an end of each roll-fed run. As a business we already carefully co-ordinate the production process to ensure batches of the same materials are collated where possible. Limiting the range of substrates per project will reduce energy costs, product waste, time and ultimately production costs too. Consider choosing materials that can be used across multiple surfaces and design to maximise the roll width and sheet size for eco graphics.

BUILD TO LAST

Future-proof your projects. Whilst it is true that not all products can be recycled, it’s important to consider the durability of the project. Any carbon footprint linked to the process of replacing a recyclable material several times, can be offset with a non-recyclable product that will last for far longer. We have some great products for long term graphics and signage applications that will withstand anything the weather can throw at them.
