Eco-Friendly Print

While EcoRich promotes the use of on-line campaigns as an alternative compliment for greener marketing, it cannot ignore the fact that PRINT is still a very vital Channel of Marketing. EcoRich encourages their clients to look for Green Alternatives for print.

By printing Green, you are sending a powerful reminder to your audience that you are environmentally conscious.

Green Printing is responsibly growing in popularity and is moving beyond small companies and activist groups to larger corporations and government agencies. These companies are mandating purchases of greener goods and services and we want to help you portray that image and promote this great message.

We have Eco-Friendly papers and Vegetable Inks available. Many of our papers are 100% recycled and we even offer products that are made from elephant poo poo and offer “cradle to cradle” print projects (ask us about Re-Product).

Since our company was created by Printing Executives, we can assist you with all your printing needs…Here are just a few examples of our Print services;

• Mail Order Catalogs
• Corporate Newsletters
• Turnkey Direct Mail pieces
• Informational Directories
• Educational Workbooks
• Logo Scratch Pads

Sustainable Symbols

You can send a green message with these eco-friendly emblems.

The Forest Stewardship Council works with businesses and organizations to promote responsible forestry practices. Use of this trademark is restricted to those who comply with current standards and regulations.

The Vegetable Seal appears on many products printed with vegetable inks. Its presence on your print projects announces that you are concerned about sustainability issues.

The Processed Chlorine Free symbol notates that no chlorine or chlorine compounds were used during the paper manufacturing process, and that paper choices contain at least 30-percent post-consumer content.

Recommended Papers

Here are EcoRich's recommended papers for printing;

ECOPAQUE, the first high whiteness offset that is eco-friendly and economic, is ideal for all your printing requirements such as book publishing, direct mail, financial printing, inserts, instruction manuals or any other commercial print job that traditionally uses uncoated freesheet.

ECOPAQUE is a 120–whiteness blue-white, surface-enhanced mechanical sheet designed to match the properties of uncoated offset. This sheet features high opacity—equivalent to a #1 opaque uncoated freesheet, at a lower basis weight. ECOPAQUE offers equal or superior print surface, performance on press, caliper, environmental benefits and value when compared to standard offset.

ECOPAQUE uses 50% less wood fiber than standard offset at the equivalent basis weight (and uses even less at lighter basis weights.) This sheet is brightened through a process that is totally chlorine free (TCF). In addition, ECOPAQUE’s green production process uses hydroelectricity, which reduces the amount of fossil fuel used and lowers greenhouse gases by 50%.
