We\u2019ve made our printing process greener. Get an inside look at how we\u2019re reducing Spreadshop\u2019s environmental impact.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Until recently, every item printed digitally for your customers by Spreadshop was accompanied through the printing process by a \u201cbatch card.\u201d Each batch card was about 1.5 pages of paper containing all the important information about your order.<\/p>\n

In our production halls, your products pass through many hands and several important steps before they\u2019re packaged and shipped out to your customers. A sheet of paper for each item was a messy and wasteful system that sometimes resulted in mix-ups and setbacks… not to mention mountains of needless paper waste!<\/p>\n

Smarter & Greener<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve replaced the wasteful batch cards with a less-waste digital solution: stickers! Your products now get a sticker with a bar code instead of a sheet of paper. The folks in our production facilities just need to scan the sticker to see all the relevant information about your order.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This clever fix reduces confusion, eliminates the paper waste of our old method, and speeds up our digital printing process by nearly 25%. That means faster delivery for your customers, more accurate printing results, and approx. 270k sheets of paper saved every month! Over a year, that makes a whopping 3,240,000 sheets \u2014enough paper to save about 150 trees<\/a>!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In a couple weeks, all products printed with the Flex printing method will also go paperless. All other print types, for example thermo sublimations used to print mugs, still work with the printed batch cards for now. But our goal is to run a completely paperless production system by the end of the year.<\/p>\n
