What Weve Done

What We've Done.

At 1800 Postcards, we've pro-actively reduced total energy consumption, net greenhouse gas emissions and reduced wood use. We use only Forest Stewardship Certified (FSC) paper for our main postcard product, meaning for every tree used, one is planted. Nearly all of our other house stocks are FSC or SFI certified as well.

We've switched to soy and vegetable based inks as well as water-soluble washes:

  1. Lower solvent emissions than petroleum
  2. Less toxic waste
  3. Biodegradable
What exactly do we recycle

What exactly do we recycle?

We recycle everything - from the wood used on our pallets to the metals on our aluminum plating!

Printing paper waste in particular is divided into two categories - pre-consumer and post-consumer. We recycle both, including scraps, overprinting and even rejected jobs.

How Does This Affect Your Printing Order?

With enhanced technology and natural resources, we can now deliver printing quality that hasn't been seen in years. True high-definition, expanded color variety and more absorbent glosses deliver a product quality that stands above the rest.

Recycled paper is like the federal budget deficit: Everyone agrees it's an important issue, but no one seems to know what to do about it.
