If you’ve looked into sustainable stationery, printing, or packaging, you’ve likely noticed the small “tree-tick” logo popping up everywhere. This symbol represents the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)—one of the most trusted organisations in global forest sustainability. But what exactly does FSC paper mean, and why do so many schools, companies, printers, and packaging providers emphasise its importance? Let’s break it down.

Being a responsible business isn’t a slogan for us — it’s a standard. We are proud to celebrate our third year of successful accreditation with the Good Business Charter (GBC), an achievement that reflects our long-term commitment to fairness, sustainability, and ethical business practices. The Good Business Charter is considered the UK’s standard for responsible business. It was developed with the help of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), Trades Union Congress (TUC), and Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), establishing clear expectations for responsible conduct. Its ten elements—covering aspects like paying the Real Living Wage, fair contracts, environmental care, and ethical sourcing—offer a transparent framework for organisations dedicated to prioritising people and the planet.

Over the last two years, we have undertaken a significant journey to minimise our environmental footprint and enhance the sustainability of our printing services. As a company dependent on materials, energy, and transportation, we see it as our duty to act responsibly—not only by optimising our operations but also by supporting initiatives that offset the carbon emissions we generate.

Creating the perfect print can be incredibly rewarding—but it can also feel overwhelming. File formats, bleed, colour modes, resolution… it’s a lot to take in, especially if print isn’t your day to day world. That’s exactly why we’ve built our Tips and Guides Section: to assist you step by step, eliminate guesswork, and make sure your designs print exactly as you expect—every time.

Here’s how our Help Section helps you get it right from the start.

Your message is key but so are the essentials, such as your full contact details and an address if you have a physical presence. Next is to determine how and where you will find your audience. There is no point investing in some super leaflet printing if it doesn’t reach the right people!

Consider your target demographic. How old are they? Where do they live? Where do they shop, visit or spend their leisure time? When you have the answers to this type of question you can formulate your plan to get your new marketing leaflets in front of them.
