Poster Printing
Promoting your business or event with posters can help to effectively communicate in a memorable way. By using strong calls to action in a prominent place a well designed and informative poster can ensure passers by stop and read what you have to say. If an event why not include QR codes so that people can register and buy tickets there and then, bridging the gap between offline and online communications.
Our recycled and recyclable posters ensure that you can create your posters in the most sustainable way possible, and everything we do is geared towards being able to be recycled after use.
Indoor or outdoor use, we have a sustainable solution. We only specify materials which are recycled, or recyclable or biodegradable. Our inks are water-based meaning that everything we print can be recycled and importantly our inks are weather resistant meaning that we can avoid the use of laminates which we see as wholly unnecessary as this negates posters from potentially being recycled.
A4, A3, A2, A1 or REALLY LARGE posters are no problem, we have the capacity and technology to produce anything that you need – combined with our expertise on the most suitable materials to use and we can ensure we are helping you to create the most sustainable poster printing possible.
Life after use
Closing the loop is critical, society cannot continually produce materials that are chemically created, chemically printed and end up in landfill for a millennium. Which is why our focus on environmental posters mean we focus on ensuring that whatever you need will be produced in a way that ensures it will be recycled after use, diverting waste from landfill and giving the material another life!
Closed loop solutions
Our real expertise lies with understanding your particular issues and creating a solution to help you manage your pain points. Got multiple destinations which require banners and materials and struggling to understand how to manage at end of life? We can work with you to develop systems that can ensure all banners produced environmentally and that all can be recycled ensuring that you generating waste to landfill becomes a thing of the past. Closing the material loop is a key part of all businesses journey to Net Zero, and we have the expertise and experience to help you achieve this.
Recyclable outdoor Banners
Yes recyclable outdoor banners! PVC based banners, the scourge of many a landfill site – our recyclable banners are very different!
Our outdoor banners are fully recyclable, fully weather proof and have the longevity that you would expect from a standard banner, but without all the bad stuff…We have worked hard to create a system via our unique Planet Positive Printing approach which enables us to specify recyclable materials, print using our water based inks and ensure that it can be fully recycled after you have finished using it.
Outdoor banners work hard for you, they help drive awareness and footfall to events, places of interest, exhibitions – and so they are a critical part of the marketing mix.
By using our sustainable banner solution you no longer have to compromise your environmental position against your commercial needs. We can even help take life time ownership if the recycling element proves a challenge.
Eco Pull up stands
A pull up is a pull up, right? Wrong…very wrong.
Many pull up stands can be made so poorly that they barely last a single use.
They can also be made with PVC and materials which are impossible to recycle.
However, our Eco pull up’s are a very different proposition. Our approach is based on making something that will last and still look great. Made in a way that we can re-skin the graphic for you (should it be in good working order when returned to us!) the old graphic can be recycled (Yep, recycled) and the new graphic applied enabling us to return an effectively new recycled pull up to you ready for use once more.
We do not believe in waste. We believe in working a little smarter and ensuring that materials we used are valued, and not a throw away commodity destined for landfill…to us this is simply the obvious choice.
Your need, our solution
All our clients needs are slightly different.
The one thing they all have in common is a desire to produce all their sustainable point of sale materials in a way that can be recycled and so is part of a closed loop approach. No one likes waste, especially when it is completely unnecessary…
Our environmental approach has always been focused on doing better, not taking the status quo as the answer – we challenge, we innovate, we find a way.
Doing better
If you are committed to doing better we can help. We can carry out an audit of where you currently are, what materials you are currently using, and what waste to landfill you are currently generating. We can then make our recommendations as to how we can reverse engineer all solutions so that your point-of-sale waste to landfill is a thing of the past. We know we can all do better, it is possible, we just need the ambition to be committed to finding a better way – let us help you.
Recyclable Point of Sale
Yes, recyclable point of sale, it’s a thing!
We have worked hard to create a solution that enables our clients to produce all their point-of-sale materials in a way that ensures nothing ends up going into landfill. Fully recyclable point of sale – genius.

Exhibitions and Displays
Exhibitions are a key part of any communication strategy, and making the right impression is vital. We can work with you to help design and build your sustainable exhibition displays, helping to specify materials that make sense, both sustainably and also from a visual perspective.
There is simply no need to be using chemically created Foamex panels, when alternative 100% recycled paper products are available – especially when you are factoring in end of show waste.
We look at the full sustainable journey of your eco exhibition stands and displays, specifying recycled and/or recyclable materials, producing using water based inks and closing the loop by providing a solution to ensure that all materials can be recycled.
This also provides the opportunity to showcase this environmental leadership position to all stand visitors, be proud to share the story of sustainability and demonstrate that planet positive printing is a solution which simply makes sense.
Exhibitions need not end with skips of materials destined for landfill, let us show you how.
Office Branding

As simple as wall paper, recycled acrylics and displays, signs and even bunting – whatever you envisage we can help make a reality.
