Our approach
We relentlessly examine every part of our business to make it greener – from the large machinery to the seat covers in the bathroom. (Yes, even those are made from recycled paper.)
We are a pain for many of our vendors. We’re constantly asking where it’s made, what it’s made of, what are the specs?

- Recyclable aluminum plates
02. Hit "Print"
Switching to top-of-the-line technology, we reduced our waste significantly.

Our workplace Thoughtfully redesigned
Keeping it cool
Printing presses produce a lot of heat. We only heat 10% of our facility and our breezy Richmond, CA location means no need for energy-hogging AC.
Remodeling responsibly
We uncovered the windows and raised the ceilings to increase natural light and reduce overall energy usage.
Going carbon neutral
We have completely offset our energy usage with renewable energy credits from a local marine energy company.
