FSC: Paper that is kind to the environment

 
Ecology High gloss and ecology can be sensibly combined. This was demonstrated by Ivo Druck AG at a customer event in Buchs. 
Ecologically sensible action is currently a much-discussed and topical issue. The printing industry is also concerned with this, as the raw material wood forms the basis for paper production. In many cases, ecology and economy are difficult to reconcile, and weighing up costs and environmental protection becomes a balancing act for companies.Commitment to the environmentIn order to give consumers the opportunity to act in an environmentally friendly and economically sensible way, the non-profit organization FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) was founded in 1993. The independent organization is committed to globally valid rules to ensure the ecologically and socially correct production of wood. The FSC label, which may only be used by companies that have successfully passed the certification process, serves as a sign of this. This creates a seamless production chain that can be traced at any time, from the origin of the wood to paper production and printing.
Ivo Druck has been FSC-certified since July 2006, which means it is allowed to process FSC paper and print the coveted label. The proportion of FSC paper used in production is constantly increasing. To further promote the trend, Ivo Druck organized a customer event on the subject of FSC at its production facilities in Buchs. The paper wholesaler Antalis provided background information on the label in an exciting specialist presentation. In addition, the interested participants were able to get an idea of the various FSC paper types for themselves using numerous paper samples. The range is now huge. Different surfaces, paper thicknesses and colors are available.
Quality and environmental protectionThe wide range of products makes it possible to produce even the highest quality printed matter using FSC paper. High gloss and ecology are therefore not mutually exclusive. This is a very important aspect for Ivo Druck, as the printing company is known as a provider of high-quality print products. Elaborate finishes and razor-sharp image quality can also be achieved on FSC paper. By opting for FSC paper, Ivo Druck customers not only receive the usual high quality, they also make an active contribution to protecting the environment.
