As a mass supplier of company calendars we recognise the effects that our operations may have upon the environment. Together with our suppliers we have taken the following steps to make our calendars environmentally friendly.

Recycled Calendars
A number of designs within our 2009 range are printed on recycled paper, this may not be immediately obvious when looking at samples of our calendars as there is very little difference between the new paper and our standard papers. Recent developments in paper manufacturing now mean that the latest recycled papers have a much better appearance than previously. Recycled papers are more expensive than our standard papers, however we have absorbed the cost increase and the calendars remain within the same price structure of comparable calendars within their range. There are three calendars produced on recycled paper Eco, Endangered Species and Graphic World.
Eco is a new design for 2009 as is part of our large format collection, and its images take a close look at some of the innovative ways as individuals or companies, we can help to solve some of the World's ecological challenges. The design is truly 'Green' - as it is printed on recycled paper and board and each calendar is supplied inserted into a recycled white board mailer. You will notice the absence of a UV finish which does minimise the impact on the environment; however the Eco logo on the front cover has been blind embossed.

Sustainable Source Paper
All of our pictorial and commercial wall calendars, excluding the recycled ones mentioned above, are produced using paper from sustainable sources. This means the mills that the papers are procured from are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified and encourage management of forestry resources in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial and economically viable way. Look out for the 'Sustainable Source' logo that will be printed on the overprint area as part of our standard templates (or excluded if required)

Recycled Mailers
All of our white mailing cartons, used for all our B3 or Large Format calendars are now being produced using recycled board and to highlight this fact our "Recycled" logo is being embossed into the reverse of the carton as we replenish our stocks.
In addition, all of our manilla envelopes are NAPM approved recycled products.
