PrintTogether is the first and only printing company in Australia to offer collective green printing. By printing collectively, we save resources such as paper, energy, water, time and money preparing the press. At PrintTogether, if it’s not recycled, we don’t use it. This applies to both paper and post-production. Everything needs to be recyclable. Items such as laminates cannot be recycled and therefore end up in landfill. We refuse to use any materials that cannot be recycled.

All of our printing is produced lithographically, for a high quality finish. Our green printing achieves the same high production standards with significant environmental benefits. PrintTogether also uses vegetable based inks for all printed materials.
