Printing Is a Responsible Choice

In lieu of a "Think before you print" email tagline, we encourage you to consider adding something like this to your emails:

"It's OK to print responsibly. Not using paper in order to save trees is comparable to not eating salad in order to 'save' vegetables. Managed timberlands are similar to agricultural crops which provide clean air, clean water, and wildlife habitat, as well as millions of jobs nationwide."

While there are many misconceptions about the paper and printing industries, we proudly stand behind them both, and we encourage you to check out these resources to learn more about why printing is a responsible choice:

Marketing Fact Sheet

While brochures, flyers, and other marketing materials are great ways to offer elaborate details about your business history or products, a marketing fact sheet is a helpful way to summarize details about your business profile, such as your date of incorporation, employee stats, office locations, executive contacts, etc. While fact sheets are a popular addition to any packet of marketing information, they should also be capable of standing alone.
