The trend of eco-friendly business isn't just the latest trend. It's an evolution in the way we think about business that will define a new age in business accountability. It's easy to be green with your greeting cards if you know the printing process and how you can modify it to produce eco-friendly greeting cards that look beautiful.

The benefits of a Greeting Card:

Make use of inks made from soy

When you print your zero waste greeting cards using soy inks, you are saving the environment from polluting substances released by conventional inks through evaporation during drying. Soy inks are not only cleaner, but they also spread more widely, meaning you actually use less ink for the same effect. In addition, soy inks create more vivid colors, so greeting cards printed with soy inks feature vivid, vibrant, and deep colors that enhance impact.

Print on recycled paper

Prints made from recycled greeting cards appear identical to the traditional greeting card stock, however it saves you a lot of raw wood pulp. Recycled paper is much more environmentally friendly than conventional greeting card stock since it's backed by recycled paper. Consider a matte 13-point recycled paper to increase the shine of your cards for an elegant look and eco-friendly appeal.

Print in volume

If you print more eco friendly greeting cards per run, you save energy costs because the press does not require setting up more than one time. Also, you can avoid wasted paper at the end of an incomplete run. Printing your eco friendly greeting cards in large quantities is a bonus of being cheaper per piece and allowing you to in effect print more greeting cards with less amount of money.

Recycle your old greeting cards

You can recycle old or unopened cards that were sent to you, instead of throwing them away. Numerous cities provide recycling pickup at no cost, which makes it among the greenest methods to save money. Perhaps your recycled greeting cards end up with the next set of greeting cards that you purchase.

Print on standard sizes of paper

Printing your greeting cards on regular paper sizes will result in less waste in cutting. Talk to your printer about what size of paper produces the most paper waste. Going green with your greeting cards is an extension of your sustainable agenda, which your customers will be happy to. It is important to inform them that you are concerned about the environment by including the recycled or green agenda icons on the back panel of your greeting cards.
