Renewable energy
We’ve changed our energy provider to make sure that 100% of the energy we use in our factory and office is from renewable wind, hydro and solar sources.
We also switched to LED lights across our factory, saving enough energy to power 40 houses on average per year.
Zero to landfill
We are working towards reducing paper waste, and we divert 100% of our waste away from landfill by recycling 94-96%. The remainder is turned into Refuse Derived Fuel (incarcerated to produce electricity). This helps to promote a circular economy and reduce our carbon footprint.
Our culture
In our offices and factories, we're making small improvements that can make a big impact. From bigger changes like our cycle to work scheme, to smaller changes like providing reusable water bottles for all staff and encouraging everyday recycling, we're working to match your commitment with our own.
In 2025, we launched an Electric Vehicle Scheme to help employees transition to low-emission transport, advancing our shared commitment to sustainability in a cost-effective way.

Producing your print
Our packaging
As well as making sure your products arrive in great condition, we are doing it as eco-friendly as possible. Some of the improvements we've made include using recycled Business Card boxes, paper-based packaging tape, paper box filler, recyclable bubble wrap, and recycled foam corners for larger boards.
All of our suppliers for paper and packaging also go through a procurement evaluation process to ensure their moral and ethical values line up with our own, including sourcing closer to our factory to reduce travel miles.
Our delivery
We proudly use DPD and Royal Mail as our main delivery partners. DPD is a 100% carbon neutral service, with the UK's largest electric van fleet, and Royal Mail is also one of the leading green delivery partners, taking big steps towards Net-Zero with over half of their delivery routes largely on foot.
In 2025, we introduced our Ship to Pick-up Point service. By consolidating multiple orders into a single drop-off location, we reduce the number of delivery vans on the road. This also cuts down on carbon emissions from redelivery attempts, making it a greener choice compared to home deliveries.
Low impact print
We've invested in three Canon iX3200 digital printers which significantly lower the ink and energy consumption levels in our printing. They also use water-based inks, developed following stringent environmental policies and free from Substances of Very High Concern, mineral oil, aromatic hydrocarbons, and saturated hydrocarbons. They also use innovative ink bags, which use 60% less plastic per kg of ink compared to catridges. At least 80% of the press parts can be recycled, and the machines can be refurbished and upgraded locally, reducing the need for new presses and saving on transport related emissions.
