Vivid subscribes to a number of environmental programs through its manufacturing processes and suppliers. We are committed to supporting our clients’ green requirements by offering options at various levels.
The following environmental initiatives are available through Vivid upon request:
- recycled papers with varying amounts of recycled content
- FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified printing and manufacturing: http://www.fsc.org/
- papers produced using windpower
- Green-e certified papers: http://www.green-e.org/
Paper
Vivid's cards are printed on premium and high-end paper for maximum impact. Paper
options include coated papers (matte or high gloss) and uncoated papers (with
or without texture). Most standard papers used for Vivid cards have some recycled
content, and many have FSC certification. In addition, Vivid offers recycled
papers with higher post consumer waste content, plus environmental print management
programs such as FSC certified printing. Within minimum orders, a client can
change the paper of any Vivid card.
