Print remains a unique and vibrant form of expression with an unrivaled ability to communicate on a personal level. Print is the most effective method of communication and as the only natural three-dimensional form able to engage all our senses, print is highly versatile, even in today’s more digital world. Whether for packaging, publishing, signage, decor or commercial print applications, innovative brands, print service providers, and their suppliers are leading the charge towards a more sustainable supply chain through certification efforts like those offered by the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP).
