The current trajectory of publishing is flawed. It is environmentally taxing and just too expensive. At our core, we believe in challenging this with every action we take.
We don’t just invest in general environmental causes, but rather develop ways to leverage your publication to work for the benefit of your brand’s Corporate Social Responsibility. Often, this comes in the form of strategic partnerships, initiative-driven advertising and special content. We work to cultivate relationships with like-minded, initiative-driven brands to provide advertisements that also offset the cost of your publication. But we don’t stop there. As a baseline, we only print with the highest quality sustainable materials- FSC certified recycled paper, soy-based ink and plant-based lamination.
We are passionate about changing the way publishing works, and through our ethos based approach, we are also able to provide exceptional quality, elegant and cost-effective custom publications.
