Same Day Printing is Environment Friendly

Renewable Energy & Eco-Friendly Practices

Since January 2015, we’ve been one of Melbourne’s early adopters of solar power and LED lighting. This investment was driven by a desire to positively contribute to our planet’s future, rather than financial savings or marketing benefits. Our solar power system was installed well before sustainability became a business trend, reflecting our deep-rooted commitment to the environment.

Sustainable Materials & Processes

In addition to renewable energy, we continually seek out and supply environment friendly materials for our printed products. We offer a range of sustainable options, including recycled and kraft materials, and we're always on the lookout for new eco-friendly solutions. We fully support the sustainable manufacturing movement and are committed to finding innovative ways to contribute to this cause.

Digital Printing: A Sustainable Choice

Digital printing is a cornerstone of our sustainability efforts, offering numerous environmental benefits:

• Reduced Waste: No plates are required, minimising waste from production and disposal.
• Lower Energy Consumption: Digital printers use less energy than traditional presses as they don’t require continuous operation or lengthy warm-up times. Combined with our investment in solar power, this creates a highly effective and environmentally conscious solution.
• Less Ink & Chemical Use: Using toner instead of wet ink reduces the need for chemicals.
• Paper Conservation: No setup sheets are needed, saving significant amounts of paper over time.
• Reduced Transportation: Allows for on-demand, exact-quantity printing, eliminating the need for large storage areas and reducing the carbon footprint from transportation and storage.

Energy-Efficient Operations

Our building design incorporates several energy-efficient and environment friendly features:

• CBUS Computer-Controlled Lighting & Power Management System: Optimises energy usage.
• 100mm Insulated Factory Ceiling: Enhances energy efficiency by better regulating temperature.
• Selective Cooling & Heating: Multiple split system air conditioners allow for targeted energy use.
• Dual Blinds on Windows: Help manage energy consumption, particularly for our east-west oriented frontage.

Waste Management & Recycling

We take recycling and waste management seriously. Our print and production processes are lean, with ongoing efforts to further reduce waste. Our facility features a water-efficient, unisex toilet, and we've adopted simple measures like the 'shake and fold' policy for paper towels to save water.

Print and Production

We produce over 95% of our printed products in-house, minimising the need for outsourcing and reducing transport. Our bookbinding uses a new-generation glue, offering stronger binds and less waste compared to standard EVA and PUR.

Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

We aim to hire team members who live within a 30-minute drive of our facility, promoting a healthy work-life balance and reducing our carbon footprint. Additionally, three of our team members regularly walk, scooter, or cycle to work.
