Schawk Inc. — Sustaining Business and Nature

At press time, Schawk had recently completed a marketing campaign for the Universal film “Evan Almighty,” which was produced with virtually 100 percent post-consumer waste. And, speaking of printing, Schawk’s Los Angeles plant is a large-format printing island unto itself (though Schawk’s Cactus facility in Toronto offers large-format ink-jet printing). Acquired in the Seven Worldwide deal, the L.A. plant has a pair of eight-color, 40˝ sheetfed offset presses; two six-color, 77˝ models; and two super-wide EFI VUTEk ink-jet printers. Not surprisingly, the entertainment industry leverages the L.A. shop’s press arsenal for single-sheet marketing pieces, namely movie posters.
