A Local Printer uses Carbon Capture material for many of our products, which translates in to money donated to Woodland Trust to plant trees. With our paper merchant partners the combined donations are now in excess of £800,000 which equates to rather a lot of trees. 260,000 to be precise!
Say hello to Ricoh – our new and very impressive digital press. And we can’t wait to introduce you to this all singing and dancing piece of kit. With our new Ricoh in residence our small order and digital printed products will be entering a new realm – not to mention all of the other possibilities that it brings.
As I hope you all know, eco-printing is what we are all about. We have been successfully selling it online since 2006, with a growing product range and customer base. Today I thought it would be interesting to do a review of eco-printing and write a blog about the changes that we have seen since those very early days when recycled paper was almost impossible to source and vegetable oil based inks were in their infancy. My first port of call is Google - for a browse through any industry white papers covering this topic. The search term entered ‘Is there still a place for eco-printing’. Read on to see what I learnt today...
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 dispel that unfounded myth forthwith!
Whatever your business, you will be aware of the increasing need to reduce your carbon footprint: using an eco printing service is an excellent way of minimising your environmental impact whilst also boosting your company’s green credibility.
As an SME, conforming to environmentally conscientious practices might seem challenging, but with our quality eco printing service, enhancing your company’s green credentials is easy and inexpensive.
Using an eco printing service to create company wrapping paper is a smart idea and easier than you might think.
Create customised wrapping paper with our eco printing service.
As a small or medium-sized retailer you may not have considered using an eco printing service to create personalised wrapping paper but, if that’s the case, you might just be missing a trick!

“You have to give in order to receive” is great, but how much is enough? We give you advice on utilising eco-friendly printing to boost your business
Using an eco friendly printing service to create a branded corporate gift can be an excellent way of promoting your business by drawing your product or service to the attention of your target audience.
Customised practical products – which are useful to their recipients and have been manufactured using eco friendly techniques – are also an ideal way of thanking your existing customer base at any time of the year, but especially at Christmas and as we enter a new year.
There is something very satisfying about printing on kraft board. It is a bit like a movie star diva - temperamental, difficult to manage, does not always perform the way you want and can smell a bit funny. But once it settles down and starts doing its stuff the results of printing on kraft board can be mesmerising!
The rise of the appeal in kraft board is hardly surprising. It is tactile, 100% recycled and simply oozes ‘organic’. Anything that it is printed on it will therefore benefit from its organic persona – ideal for those customers wishing to emphasise their eco preferences.
Eco printing services can help to maximise your impact at business meetings, conferences and networking events.
‘Eco-friendly printing may not necessarily sound like it’s at the cutting edge of dynamic business development but, in our time-pressured professional lives, meetings and events are crucial and need to be as effective and productive as possible. It’s essential to maximise networking opportunities whilst spreading a positive message about your brand and company offer – using a professional and eco-friendly printing service will provide a high quality armoury of corporate stationery and marketing collateral to leave a lasting impression.
Christmas is probably the best time of year for fund raising for schools, charities, clubs and pretty much anything that needs a cash injection! At Christmas time we are on the lookout for items that will make ideal gifts to go under the tree and happy to spend that little bit more on something a bit different. This is where eco printing from A Local Printer can help with your fundraising!
