We here at A Local Printer are passionate about helping the environment and are proud to promote the use recycled paper across all our online printing services. However, we appreciate that not everyone is as aware of the benefits of environmentally friendly printing as we are; therefore we thought it would be a good idea to put together a brief Q & A. Hopefully, this will help all of our customers to make a more informed choice regarding their commercial printing or plain paper requirements.

I remember when I was first at secondary school we were given A4 exercise books which we had to cover with wallpaper or sticky backed plastic - which was a nightmare! The lucky children at this school get a workbook designed to help them with their English - pages of tips and useful advice plus a special 'wall page' to leave messages on!

This 28 page A5 booklet has a heavy 300gsm cover and 120gsm text pages and is printed using vegetable oil based inks on recycled paper and board - sourced from responsibly managed forests as all our materials are. For booklet printing contact A Local Printer for a range of A4, A5 and DL.

We have our very own chicken keepers here at A Local Printer and I am happy to say that I am kept in a good supply of beautiful, organic and super fresh eggs which I have scrambled for my lunch with toast.  I have a certain fondness for all things poultry and these super cards certainly tick the box.  Printed on 300gsm recycled board this set of four cards really benefits from the pulp board finish - for a very organic look and feel.

Setting up a new business can be exciting, but if you’re going through this process right now, you’ve no doubt got lots to think about. For example, it’s really important that you promote your products or services effectively. Even the best business idea in the world can fail if consumers don’t know about it. 

This is where online printing services come in handy. By producing business cards, posters, leaflets, flyers and other marketing material, you can help to spread the word about your new company.

I like this very simple A6 recycled flyer we recently printed.  I also love the idea behind the company - for each T-shirt they sell one is donated to charity for distribution to areas that are deprived or developing. Each T-shirt they sell features the bear and it is good to know that something you have on your back is helping someone else a lot less fortunate.  Go Bear Ethics!

Oh yes, if you want some A6 recycled flyers printed using veggie oil inks - look no further.
