Why it pays to go green when printing leaflets « Back to list
In years gone by, recycled material was always synonymous with a lesser quality in the printing world. While it was considered good for the environment and often a cheaper alternative, recycled paper just didn’t seem to meet the mark in terms of quality. These days, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Of course, there are certain types of recycled materials that may not be entirely suitable for your printing requirement. But, on the whole recycled material has climbed up the quality ranks and is not only a great and green alternative, it also makes financial sense.
Below we take a look at some of the best recycled paper solutions for your business and their environmental and printing properties.
