Green Solutions


green solutionsWhile we've always tried to offer environmentally friendly solutions where possible, we've recently been actively looking for more eco-friendly options for our customers who are concerned about the enviroment and want to find printing materials and processes that are better for the planet. This page highlights the options we offer throughout our website that are eco-friendly, so that you can find them all on one page.

Our Green Solutions are generally materials that contain no PVC, are recycleable, and are printed with environmentally friendly inks. Throughout the site, we have marked these products with our Green Solutions leaf symbol to highlight them as being eco-friendly. There are some categories where we haven't been able to find eco-friendly solutions, such as vehicle graphics which require the conformability of vinyl. But, we have upgraded most of our PVC (vinyl) materials to print with water based latex inks instead of solvent inks to make them as eco-friendly as possible.

The tabs below contain information on our Green Solutions for indoor use, outdoor use, and display hardware. Fine Art and Photo Reproduction is not specifically listed, because virtually all of those products have always been eco-friendly, so we have not specifically included them here.
