Environmental Resources

Working with an environmentally friendly printing company can be a smart business move and the right thing for the planet. The environmental logos on your printed pieces resonate powerfully with clients, communicating ethical character to buyers who favor companies whose concerns match their ideals.

Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) Certification

Use of the FSC® labels is one of the most basic indicators that a company is a truly “green” organization, showing compliance with the highest social and environmental standards. Visit our FSC® Resource Page for more information.

Vegetable-based Ink

We use non-toxic, vegetable-based inks in our offset printing process. Our inks qualify for EcoSmart certification, which means they:

• Contain no more than 5% Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) per EPA Test Method 24.
• Contain a minimum of 45% renewable resource content.
• Contain no more than 5% by weight of petroleum distillates.
• Meet the CONEG regulation for packaging, with a combined heavy metal total of less than 100 ppm of mercury, lead, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium.

G7 Resources

What is GRACoL® 7 (G7)?

The GRACoL® guidelines, developed by a graphic arts task force with support from IPA and GATF representatives, have become de facto standards in many pressrooms. GRACoL® helps print buyers, designers, and specifiers work more effectively with print suppliers, and following its guidelines brings real benefits:

• Reduce costs, decrease turnaround times, and avoid remakes.
• Develop internal guidelines for reliable process controls.
• Acquire print predictability: know what you’ll get on press before you get there.
• Demonstrate printing quality through achievable print guidelines and target goals.
• Build on education in the fundamentals of printing and developing technologies.
• Clarify what is reasonable to ask of print suppliers.

By choosing a printer that is GRACoL® 7 (G7) certified, you know your work is printed to the highest standards of quality and consistency. For more information, contact your Broudy representative or visit idealliance.org.
