Start before production
The most useful environmental conversation starts with the brief. Who needs the material? What should it help them do? How much will actually be used? Can a reusable design or an online update keep it relevant for longer?
- Quantity: match the order to an actual audience or distribution plan.
- Materials: ask about suitable recycled or recyclable options where available.
- Finishes: consider how coatings, laminates and adhesives affect the finished item.
- Lifespan: plan reusable displays and durable workwear where appropriate.
- Packaging: discuss the options available for the particular order.
Product-specific choices
Paper stationery, PVC banners, adhesive labels and embroidered clothing have different material requirements. We will discuss the options for the product you need. A green design or a recycled-content option does not mean every item in the range has the same environmental characteristics.
Delivery, with the details agreed
The delivery approach described here includes using DPD delivery services and supporting its investment in lower-emission transport. The route and service affect how an individual order is delivered; an electric delivery vehicle is not guaranteed.
