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.
Envelopes
Vivid’s custom-made envelopes are manufactured at an FSC certified facility. Envelope paper is 30% recycled
and is SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) certified. Envelopes are available in standard and foil-lined options.
Printing Inks
All Vivid cards are printed with soy-based vegetable inks.
Recycling
All Vivid cards, including cards with foil stamping, can be recycled through normal recycling programs.
All Vivid envelopes, including foil lined, are recyclable.
