The summer of 2007 marked an important milestone for Graphic Concepts Printing: our transformation into a “green” printing company. As a leading supplier of green printing services in New Jersey, we are one of a small group of printers using renewable energy and sustainable materials to reduce our impact on the environment… and produce high quality results for our customers.
We created our enviro print™ division to demonstrate and strengthen our commitment to environmentally sustainable printing practices. Our enviro print division provides our customers with environmental printing services certified by both the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Green-e. This ensures that your printing project is created with Green-e certified renewable energy and with paper materials derived from a well-managed, FSC-certified forest.
In addition, the inks used in our offset printing process are made from environmentally-friendly soy and vegetable oils derived from crops primarily grown in the US. By using these renewable, non-toxic resources in our inks instead of petroleum-based products, we’re not only promoting sustainable printing… we’re also supporting our nation’s economy by providing a market for these domestic crops—and helping to reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign petroleum products. Of course, our inks still provide the same rich, vivid color you expect for your most important full color printing jobs!
Enviro print also offers a simple way for you to promote your own company’s environmental initiatives. Our environmental printing marks clearly indicate to your own clients and employees that you are using products that have a reduced impact on the environment.
Graphic Concepts Printing is committed to environmentally responsible printing for a sustainable world. We look forward to working with your company to help create a greener tomorrow!
Graphic Concepts Printing/enviro print™ provides printed materials manufactured with paper produced by paper mills using FSC-certified fibers. This means that your marketing and other materials are printed on paper that originates from sources that use responsible forestry practices.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organization which promotes responsible stewardship of the world’s forests. FSC certification is recognized worldwide as a credible program advancing the use of the world’s resources.

All the materials produced by our enviro print™ division are Green-e certified, the most trusted certification in America for high quality renewable energy. The Green-e seal is your guarantee that our printing is done with 100% clean, renewable energy generated from wind power—an environmental benefit equivalent to planting about 55 trees or saving the gasoline needed for more than 155,000 miles of automobile travel. As an additional benefit, our enviro print customers also have the option to have the Green-e logo printed directly on their materials as a sign that they support environmentally sustainable printing practices.
Green-e certification provides an easy way to quickly identify environmentally sustainable products made with renewable sources of energy in the US. Unlike nonrenewable fossil fuels, wind energy doesn’t release carbon dioxide, one of the main greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. Graphic Concepts Printing/enviro print has purchased enough wind energy to offset 100% of our printing plant’s electricity usage—making a positive difference for the environment and promoting our nation’s energy independence.
The Green-e certification program is administered by the Center for Resource Solutions, a national nonprofit working to fight climate change by building policies and consumer-protection mechanisms in renewable energy, greenhouse gas reductions and energy efficiency.
