It’s always worth seeing if they do bulk deals too. Here in Melbourne (australia) our group, the Craft Cartel does an annual postcard and business card printing bulk job through a local eco printer http://printtogether.com.au – they rule! By printing in bulk we not only save thousands of dollars collectively but it saves heaps of resources, especially paper, water and electricity. The last lot we got printed equalled out to a bill of about $100 each instead of the $500 if we’d have done it individually. Massive saving!

It’s a bit of work to organise but the way we do it is that everyone chips in an extra $5 and subsidises the printing for the organiser as a way of saying thanks. Good vibes all round

Have you ever thought about using sheep’s poo for paper?

Premier Graphics in Bellingham, WA uses vegetable-based (soy inks is a bit of a misnomer – vegetable-based is more accurate) inks in their print shop. They’re great to work with too.

Most papers these days have a certain amount of recycled paper. The thing to look for is how much post-consumer recycled content it has. A great choice for post-consumer recycled paper is Neenah paper’s Environment line. They have a bright white and natural color in several weights that is 100% post-consumer recycled. If you go to 30% post-consumer content, you have a lot more choices and color.

@Mel – have you thought of using the boxes as the cardstock to give the cards weight and adhering a sticker to them?

We use to print our own business cards from cereal boxes, frozen pizza, veggie burgers etc. We always got comments on how cool it was from our customers. We also used the boxes to make hag tags for our clothing. Now however our newer printer won’t let us run the boxes through it- so we’ve been using Moo cards. I’d love to get back to the recycling boxes again.

Great ideas! I haven’t really though about making my own, but I will definitely try when I relocate (and my current cards become obsolete).

I make my own but never thought of using “different” papers like cereal boxes! Cool ideas for sure.
