With the proliferation of digital alternatives, some might question the need for printed cards. However, tangible print media continues to hold a significant place in professional and personal communication. It's all about making print matter more while wasting less. By following best practices in card printing, we help our clients minimize their environmental footprint and showcase their own commitment to sustainability.

The traditional card printing process involves a range of materials and processes which can contribute to environmental degradation. These can include the use of large amounts of paper, the generation of waste through offcuts and misprints, and the reliance on chemicals and inks that may be harmful if not managed properly. At Plastic Card ID , we scrutinize every step to ensure that our operations respect the planet.

To achieve this, we consider the life cycle of printed materials and strive to reduce the environmental toll at each stage. By using recycled paper, vegetable-based inks, and digital printing technologies, we're proud to champion practices that make a clear difference to the world around us while still meeting high standards of print excellence.

Sustainability starts with the materials we use. This is why has transitioned to papers that are not only recycled but also sourced from responsibly managed forests. These eco-conscious choices contribute to the preservation of natural habitats and reduce our overall carbon footprint.

Alongside sustainable paper, we invest in inks and coatings that are less harmful to the environment. By selecting soy or vegetable-based inks over petroleum-based options, we diminish the use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), improving both indoor air quality and print recyclability.

Technology can be a powerful ally in the fight against waste. Digital printing, particularly for small run jobs, is a game-changer, allowing for precise quantities, thus reducing overruns and material wastage.

Our state-of-the-art digital presses require less setup and fewer adjustments, meaning fewer test sheets and a more direct path to the final product. This translates to less waste and a faster, more efficient process, saving resources and time for our clients without compromising on the stunning, vibrant quality they expect from our services.

Recycling is a crucial component of reducing waste, but upcycling takes it a step further. At Plastic Card ID , we encourage the repurposing of used cards, transforming them into new products or finding alternative uses to extend their lifecycle.

With every delivery, we provide tips and ideas for how old cards can be given a new lease of life-whether it be through crafting, donating, or sent back to us for proper recycling. Our initiatives engage our clients and their recipients in the vital culture of reusing and repurposing, fostering a community around sustainable practice.
