What can I do to help the environment?

Small choices in how you print and market add up. A good starting point is to work with an environmentally committed printer and to be intentional about the paper, inks, and mailing practices you use. The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) is one solid source of guidance for responsible marketing and reducing unwanted mail.

• Choose a printer with recognized environmental credentials such as FSC certification
• Print on recycled or FSC-certified stock whenever the project allows
• Favor soy or vegetable-based, low-VOC inks over solvent-heavy options
• Right-size your quantities to cut waste and store leftover pieces properly
• Recycle paper waste and design pieces that recipients are likely to keep or reuse
