If you want to cut back on marketing expenses while making sure you help save the environment, you need to seriously consider eco-friendly printing. With the growing concern on the environment these days, you need to show your concern and practice green printing to help save Mother Nature.
In the pursuit to an environment-friendly business, a lot of businesses have gone paperless. They have embraced online marketing and transactions altogether to help reduce the trees cut which are used to create paper. But honestly, it’s hard to imagine going completely paperless these days. Take for example the receipts you need to create. You can always prepare a digital copy, but what if your customers does not use the computer or better yet they live far where digital technology has not touched their lives yet. This will surely require you to print the receipt.
And what about the business cards you need to exchange contact details with people. Not everyone has smartphones these days. You would still need a printed business card which you can readily hand out to people you meet. These and many more instances still require the need to paper. But don’t fret yet. There are practices you can do that will help you create an eco-friendly business without completely going paperless. Here are some of these practices and strategies:
Use recycled paper. A lot of office supply stores today offer recycled paper. In fact, printing companies also provide this option. Just talk to your printer to know the options they provide. Ask if they use recycled paper beforehand to know what they offer.
Opt for soy-based or vegetable-based ink. A lot of print shops today use eco-friendly inks. These provide lesser toxic emissions to the environment so you might want to use them. Be sure to talk to your printer so they will know what kind of ink to use on your materials.
You can send an electronic file for your design instead of the printed one. This will use less paper and allow you to make the necessary changes much easier. Be sure to determine what kind of file format your printer prefers so you can set your file to this format.
It is incredibly cost-effective to print materials using eco-friendly printing practices. They are actually designed to reduce printing cost. If you get hold of printing coupons, all the better. That will give you more savings on your print job. It is important though that you find the right printer that will give you the best eco-friendly print job. When looking for a printer, you need to take note of the following:
Make sure the printer has a good reputation in the industry. It should be known to deliver high quality eco-friendly printing. Make sure it understands your need and give you the best print job. Look at samples of the printer’s work. This will help you determine the quality of the printer’s job. Determine the turnaround time and shipping options of the printer.
With a little research, you are sure to find the perfect eco-friendly printer that will help you give you the best print job at the most affordable cost. You might want to consider looking for coupons such as the printplace coupon to get more savings on the print job.
