Our factory was built to meet all of the latest building and environmental requirements. We have installed an environmental management system (EMAS). We have ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & ISO 18001 accreditations alongside certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) which enables us to use this logo on your printed work if required.

Products carrying the FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) label are independently certified to assure consumers that they come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations. Only companies that are certified by FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) are allowed to use the FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) logo. This can be added to the artwork of a job (the logo will be supplied depending on exactly which material is specified). FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) materials are fully sustainable.

All of our printed and un-printed waste is kept separate, with the white waste being re-used as white paper (i.e. no need to be selected and processed for cleaning). Printed waste is recycled back into paper. In addition to this all waste paper produced in our offices is also recycled in the same way. We offer our clients a recycling service for any surplus stock upon request.

All waste chemicals produced are transferred into large storage containers which are taken off-site to have re-usable elements extracted from them, the balance of which are disposed of under the guidelines of the 1996 Special Waste Regulations. All of our inks are vegetable based.

All metal waste (mostly aluminium from printing plates) is also recycled.
