Ultraflex’s Commitment to Sustainable Printing Solutions

A movement toward sustainable printing has increased, creating additional growth in the print service provider (PSP) market for sustainable printing solutions. As the printing industry shifts toward sustainable practices, companies will need to offer more sustainable alternatives. Many plant-based or recyclable materials have grown immensely popular due to their environmental benefits.

Ultraflex offers a wide range of digitally printable materials, including PVC-free, phthalate-free, and recyclable media. As companies around the world expand their sustainability efforts, with corporate policies and regulations pushing our industry towards more sustainable solutions, we encourage our customers to explore our range of sustainable materials. Doing so will minimize your business’s carbon footprint and put you at the forefront of the sustainability movement.

By using PVC-free, phthalate free and recyclable media, you can be sure that your printed materials will always look their best. Their sustainability benefits as eco-friendly materials will make your product stand out in a whole new way.

Utilize PVC-free, Phthalate-free, and Recyclable Media

Offering eco-friendly printing materials to clients will expand your likeability and sales. A Forbes article revealed that 87% of consumers would buy a product from a company with similar values, and 92% of consumers are more likely to trust a company with eco-friendly options that support sustainability efforts. The demand for eco-friendly products is present, making it more important than ever to utilize our connections and products to deliver sustainable options to your clients. Increase your sales, customer loyalty, and overall image by turning to PVC-free, phthalate-free, and recyclable media.
