Eco-friendly business isn't an ongoing trend, it's an alteration in mindset that will define an era of business accountability. It's simple to go green with your greeting cards if you are aware of the process of printing and how you can modify it to produce eco-friendly greeting cards that look beautiful.

The benefits of a greeting card are:

Make use of inks made from soy

If you print your sustainable greeting cards using soy inks you protect the environment from the harmful pollutants released by traditional inks due to evaporation during the drying process. Soy inks are not only more hygienic, but they also spread out to ensure you get similar results using less ink. Additionally, soy inks create more vivid colors, which means that greeting cards printed with soy inks feature vibrant, deep, and rich colors that maximize the impact of your card.

Print on recycled paper

The printing process on recycled greeting card stock produces the same look and feel different from the traditional greeting card stock, but greatly reduces the amount of raw wood pulp used. There are fewer trees needed to produce recycled greeting card stock, since it is complemented with recycled paper. Try a 13-point recycled matte paper to increase the shine of your cards for an elegant look and eco-friendly appeal.

Print in volume

When you print more sustainable greeting cards per run, you save energy because the press does not require setting up more than once. Also, you can avoid wasted paper at the conclusion of a non-complete run. You can print your eco friendly greeting cards, in bulk at a lower cost per unit. This allows you to print more greeting cards for a less cost.

Recycle old greeting cards

You can recycle old or unopened cards that have been delivered to you, instead of throwing them out. Many cities offer recycling pick-up free of charge, making it among the most eco-friendly methods to cut costs. Maybe your recycled greeting cards could end up within the next order of cards you order!

Print on standard paper sizes

Standard paper sizes are better for greeting cards as they produce less waste during the cutting process. Consult with your printer to determine what size will result in the least paper waste. Making your greeting card printing is an extension of your eco-friendly agenda that your clients will be grateful for. Add a green or recycled agenda icon on your greeting greeting-cards back panels to show you are concerned about the environment.
