Our Green Printing Process

Overnight Prints is an environmentally conscious print company that employs a responsible print production policy. The following print materials and methods of production represent our eco-friendly print promise:

Paper

OvernightPrints.com uses only the highest grade paper imported from Japan. Our supplier has developed a sustainable recycling-oriented business model. In their Forest-Recycling efforts they have already completed tree planting of 170,000 hectares with a target area of 300,000 hectares. In the area of Paper Recycling, the rate of recovered paper utilization has exceeded the high level of 60%. In order to take initiatives to help prevent Global Warming, they reduced both fossil energy consumption and fossil fuel-based CO2 emissions by 20%.

The imported paper we use is also FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) approved and processed without environmentally harmful bleach/chlorine agents. When you order any product from the Overnight Prints website, you can be assured that we are providing you with a forestry sustainable and chemical-free paper product!

Waterless Printing

OvernightPrints.com uses Waterless Printing which is an offset lithographic printing process that eliminates dampening-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the printing process. Some VOCs have been linked to the deterioration of the earth's protective ozone layer and, consequently, to global warming. Now, with the release of water-washable inks, the waterless pressroom can be virtually VOC-free. Because presses running waterless come up to color and register so much faster, and hold those consistently throughout the press run, paper savings of 30 to 40 percent have been reported.

As its name suggests, the process uses less water. Printing has historically been a leading industrial consumer of water. Waterless printing uses state-of-the-art technology to eliminate this extreme water wastage. Waterless printing is less messy, less time consuming, and the end product is superior.

Since our company's inception, we have always adhered to a strict environmental print practice and maintained an environmentally sound manufacturing plant. When you order from Overnight Prints, you are continuing the chain of a greener print process.
