Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is eco-friendly paper always more expensive?

Not necessarily. FSC and PEFC papers are often very cost-effective. Fully recycled boards may cost slightly more, depending on the use case.

Can recycled paper still look high-quality?

Yes. Modern digital printing produces sharp text and excellent colours even on recycled materials.

What is the difference between FSC® and PEFC™?

Both ensure responsible forestry. FSC is internationally well-known, while PEFC is widely used especially in Nordic countries.

How can I make my print product easier to recycle?

Choose paper-based solutions and avoid unnecessary plastic laminations or multi-layer structures.
