Eco business cards by Alexandra Design

Eco business cards are a great place to start if you’re looking to reduce the environmental impact of your business activities.

Eco business cards have come a long way since we printed on rough, brown recycled paper. Today’s eco business cards can be just as posh as a premium quality card printed in the traditional way.

Choosing eco business cards may be the catalyst you need to get moving on that green business plan. You can even inspire your clients and suppliers to get a little greener by including your card’s environmental credentials in your card design.

Alexandra Design’s eco business cards are printed on smooth white, sustainable card stocks using soy or vegetable based inks on a waterless press, which uses less resources while delivering vibrant full colour and superior print quality.

The result  is a high quality business card, with less environmental impact.

Once you have your eco business cards sorted, think about some other little things you can do. Remember, they all add up!

•  Walk or cycle to your next business meeting
• Turn off the lights before you leave the office
• Save unwanted printouts and use the backs for internal use
• Refill your ink and toner cartridges
• Use postcards for your direct mail campaign; no need for envelopes
• Clean your office with non-toxic, biodegradeable products
• Wash your work gear in phosphate-free detergent and save the grey-water for the garden
• Buy products made from recycled/recyclable materials
• Buy 100% accredited Green Power
• Ensure all equipment is turned off at the power point when not in use
• Use a glass instead of bottled water
• Avoid use of plastic bags, and
• Encourage your family and friends to do the same!
