Founded in 1946, Parks Printing Company has a long history of combining fine craftsmanship with spirited innovation. We also believe that small businesses have a role to play in making the world a better place. That's why we're working to make Parks Printing Company one of the greenest printers in America. Currently, Parks Printing Company:

-Offsets all of its carbon emissions (manufacturing, travel, and shipping) through partnership with Carbonfund.org.
-Offers a complete line of competitively priced recycled papers and vegetable-based inks.
-Cuts down on undeliverable mail by checking direct mailing lists against EcologicalMail.org's database.
-Recycles all of its waste paper, ink, and printing plates.
-Uses a portion of electricity generated by wind power, provided by XCEL energy.
-Provides PSAs for environmental causes in monthly inklink newsletter.
-Awards a number of "green print grants" each year that fund a portion of the printing costs on environmentally worthy projects.
-Participates in reforestation projects

News and upcoming developments will be noted in our headlines and Green Link sections at left. Visit our blog at greenprinters.blogspot.com for information on environmental issues. If you have a question about our green printing feel free to email us.
