The good news is:
WE CAN CHANGE THAT.
With sustainable sourcing, recycling and using innovation in production methods, we can make the fashion industry become much more environmentally friendly.
Swing tickets and packaging produced using recycled papers or sources from sustainable forests. Recycled paper does not have to look ‘recycled’ with a flecked effect and a grainy feel.
Different finishes, colours and applications can be produced on recycled paper. If you have specific designs and finishes that you are trying to achieve then please contact us to discuss. Some of the products that we offer made from recycled paper includes: Swing Tickets & Hang Tags, Overriders, Packaging Boxes, Paper Branding & Display Branding.
