Since mid-2019 we have been developing our range of large format products, with an eye to keeping them as eco-friendly as possible. And to that end this year we have designed, produced and installed our first eco-friendly large format Christmas trees for Specialized Cycles.
We first introduced our kraft printed products way back in 2014, and since then we have continued to increase our range of new and exciting products. And in many ways the kraft products now available on our website are thanks to the customers who have contacted us with their specific enquiries – such as kraft notebooks, kraft wedding invitations and kraft folders.
There is no getting away from it – printing on kraft board and paper has been inspirational and injected a new lease of life in to more than just the eco and craft movement. Its traditional appearance has been embraced by the hippest and most contemporary of designers who have used the retro brown material as a counter to their modern designs. And it works brilliantly well. From packaging to invitations and flyer printing, kraft board has found a new place in the world of print.
We have been using recycled paper for our website products since 2006 and have seen a few changes to the material in those 10 years. For many of our customers printing on recycled paper is what led them to us in the first place, but there is still an element that has a fear that printing on recycled paper is going to be inferior. Allow me to dispel that unfounded myth forthwith!
We are often asked if we can print wrapping paper on kraft paper - and the answer has always been no. Until now.

At A Local Printer we 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.
One of the very first products on our website in 2006, recycled flyer printing from A Local Printer, is as popular today as it was then. In a world full of competing messages, capturing attention quickly is essential. One of the most effective ways to make printed flyers stand out is through the strategic use of colour. Bright, well-chosen colours naturally attract the eye and create an immediate visual stimulus, encouraging people to stop, look, and engage with the content.
These days we're very good at collecting and recycling paper to remake into new paper - but where does the ink go? A good question, and one we have an answer to if you read on
Despite the growth of digital marketing, printed flyers remain one of the most effective and affordable promotional tools available to businesses. They provide a tangible way to connect with potential customers, helping brands capture attention in a world where online advertisements are often ignored or quickly scrolled past.
