recycled-paper-business-cardsIndividuals are increasingly aware of the environmental practices of companies, and those practices can influence buying decisions for your key customers and clients. One of the simplest and economical ways to improve your environmental practices is to use green printing for all your marketing and sales materials.

PSPrint is one printing company that has taken action to offer environmentally-friendly services. Below are some of the benefits they offer with their services:

Printing on Recycled Paper
PsPrint offers 100% recycled paper stocks for most of their printed products. Your business should consider using high-quality recycled papers for everyday office printing and faxing, along with promotion of your services via brochures, business cards, and catalog printing . Show your green efforts to your clients by printing a line on your sales materials – “Printed on 100 percent recycled paper”.

Printing with Soy-Based Inks
PSPrint uses soy-based inks which are much safer for the environment than traditional petroleum-based inks. Soy inks emit fewer VOCs (volatile organic compounds) than traditional inks, and they help save the environment by making paper easier to recycle.

Recycling Paper Waste
Consider the life-cycle of the production of your printed materials, not just the quality of the finished product. PSPrint recycles all of their paper waste, while the printing industry on a whole produces tons of paper waste every year.

At Green Nation Today, we encourage you to go green with your business’s printing. The price will be similar to your current processes, and you’ll have the added benefits of reducing environmental impact and having one more sales point for your environmentally-sound clients.
