Greening of Print — Saving Earth, Saving Money

Green initiatives at Allen Press include: offseting carbon emissions; FSC certification; offering chlorine-free and recycled house paper stock; recycling paper and aluminum printing plates; a digital workflow and online proofing; using soy inks; and hosting green workshops.

"Our facility conservation efforts help us reduce both our energy use and waste, thereby resulting in operational savings," Fox says. "Many of the initiatives we have put into place have a longer-term return on investment. Our 'green' efforts are important to our customers and their overall satisfaction."
