Birthday Card

Blank Inside. 12 x 17cm eco birthday card , white envelope recycled and FSC board , vegetable based inks. This card is printed on ECF and FSC sustainable papers (certification number sa-coc-1854 cj) which means the paper can be traced back to the original trees. Only vegetable based inks were used to make this card. Vegetable based inks are an alternative to petroleum based inks. The oils can be made from a variety of vegetables such as corn, walnut, coconut, linseed, canola and soy-beans. The environmental benefit of this is that the oils are a renewable resource. In addition, once the cards are printed, the print press can be cleaned using a water based cleaner as opposed to one high in solvents. Vegetable inks are easier to de-ink, assisting in the recycling process. The cellophane wrappers are biodegradable. The wrappers decompose within 45 days when placed into a composting facility, leaving nothing but H2O and C02.
