Eco-Friendly Printing

At http://www.truecolors.pk, we’ve always been committed to environmentally friendly printing and decreasing our environmental impact. We’re doing our part for the environment in a variety of ways, from innovative packaging to obtaining carbon-neutral materials and recycling our garbage.

Are you ready to make the switch to a more environmentally friendly lifestyle? Let’s have a look at some of our options for environmentally friendly printing.

Papers that are recyclable and environmentally friendly

Eco-friendly printing starts with the correct paper, and we have plenty to choose from. We provide a wide choice of greener papers that don’t sacrifice quality, from cost-effective solutions to luxury stocks and Large Format substrates.

Kraft paper: It has an earthy texture and a nostalgic vibe. It is made from 50% post-consumer waste fibre, is FSC certified, is carbon neutral, and is produced using wind power.

Recycled Silk: Is our most cost-effective paper, created from 100 percent PCW fibres in a chlorine-free method. It is totally recyclable and none of the materials are carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reprotoxic.

Recycled Uncoated: Our basic recycled paper has an uncoated, coarse texture and is ideal for everything from wedding stationery to letterheads. In addition, it is FSC certified, chlorine-free, and recyclable.

Lux: The ultimate choice for Business Cards that look good, feel good, and do good is our ultra-thick Lux paper. It’s FSC-certified, and it’s made with wind energy from Green-certified wind farms.

Acquerello: A sparkly, chlorine-free acquerello. Acquerello paper is FSC certified and made from ECF pulp, which is environmentally beneficial. Green prints are a popular choice for bridal sets.

Laid: Add a touch of textural elegance to your print with this exceptional fine-lined paper. Laid papers and boards are created from virgin fibre, recyclable, FSC-certified, and chlorine-free pulp.

Cream: When white isn’t quite right but gold isn’t quite right, cream is the way to go. Cream paper is a preferred choice for its eco-credentials due to its FSC certification, chlorine-free pulps, and ISO 14001 accreditation.

Tintoretto and Fresco Gesso: These wonderfully textured papers are recyclable, FSC certified, and created with ecologically friendly ECF pulp, making them two firm favourites when it comes to cards and sustainable print.

White Ink, Guardsman Red, and Navy Blue: Our uniquely formulated White Ink paper stocks are proudly ECF wood-free, created from virgin pulp, and FSC certified.

White Ink Black, Cosmo Pink, and Urban Grey: Our White Ink black, pink, and grey sheets are also environmentally friendly. They’re recyclable, and they’re created from ECF virgin pulp.

Rives Dot, Shetland, and Tweed: All of the Rives collection’s unique textured papers are recyclable, created from ECF wood-free virgin pulp, and FSC certified.




Eco-friendly print packaging

Looking for a way to package Greeting Cards, Postcards, or smaller prints in an environmentally friendly manner? Our Cellophane Bags are biodegradable.

Made from corn and other sugar starches that are renewable.

30-micron film that is fully compostable and biodegradable.

If properly stored, it has a shelf life of 12 months or more.

Our most popular print product, Business Cards, also comes with eco-packaging as standard. The following are included in these boxes:

Card that has been recycled

Inks made from plants

Glue that is made of water

When our products are shipped, they are not only packaged in recyclable cardboard, but they are also sealed with environmentally friendly paper tape. This tape is produced from fibrous Kraft paper and is 100 percent plastic-free, recyclable, and biodegradable. It does not contribute to pollution or trash in any way. We use less tape in general because of its robustness.



Reusable and sustainable print

Switching to reusable print is also a wonderful approach to lessen printing’s environmental impact.

Consider how you may extend the life of your everyday print. Menus, for example, can be incredibly adaptable provided the correct finishes are used. You won’t have to worry about them becoming crumpled or damaged if you print them on tearproof paper and laminate them with either matt or gloss lamination. They can also be sanitised after each usage. We’ve even included a guide to help you create the ideal menu for your company.

Clear Roller Banners and Table Talkers, for example, can be simply reused for events, reducing the need for additional handouts because your information will be prominently displayed for all to view. Our Face Masks are also machine washable and can be reused. For more information on how to make them last even longer, see our tutorial here.

And that’s the conclusion of our environmentally friendly printing! If you’re interested in learning more about our certifications and environmental policy, go here.
