Print what you need.
Digital printing needs no printing plates and little set-up material, so short runs and version changes make sense. Order closer to what you’ll use, instead of stockpiling labels that go out of date.
Company · Sustainability
The most sustainable label is one that does its job with nothing wasted: printed in the quantity you need, on a material chosen with its end of life in mind, close to where it’s used. Here’s how we approach it.
Setting up the studio…
01 · Materials first
Material choice is where we start. Our sustainable pack covers reclaimed, recycled, mineral and plant-based stocks. Point at one to pull its card from the fan.
Claims are as stated by each material’s maker. Colours and textures on screen are approximate.

We’ll help you choose structures that suit recycling: single-material films, labels that suit the container’s recycling stream, and thinner materials where the job allows.

A Calgary operation supplying Canadian brands means shorter trips from press to production line than packaging shipped from overseas.
05 · Protection comes first
Packaging has one job before any other: protecting what’s inside. For pharmaceutical, health and food products, a lighter or greener material is only an option once it’s proven to protect the product and meet the same requirements as the one it replaces.
So every change goes through the same checks as any new material. We don’t trade quality or compliance for a greener claim.
06 · Built in from the start
We’re setting up our Calgary production facility now, which means we can plan for material use, waste and energy from the first day rather than retrofitting later.
As production begins, we’ll measure what we use and what we waste, and share our progress here.
Tell us what you’re labelling and what matters most, and we’ll suggest stocks to try.
