Rigorous Testing for Sustainable Quality
Integrating eco-friendly materials into our premium services is a meticulous process. As a company dedicated to minimizing our carbon footprint, we approach this challenge with unwavering commitment. As your trusted partner in visual solutions, we ensure the sustainable alternatives we source meet the highest quality standards. Each material undergoes thorough testing, ensuring seamless integration into your designs and exceptional performance.
“We have close relationships with manufacturers and distributors, and they know sustainability is our passion,” said Matt Hazel, Senior Director of Supply Chain Management at The Bernard Group. From recycled paper stocks to sustainable signage, “a number of criteria must be met in order for us to bring a material to market. It has to work and it must come from sources that are reliable and responsible.”
Our comprehensive testing process ensures that each sustainable material delivers performance that matches or exceeds its conventional counterpart. “Our goal is to offer a sustainable material that prints as it should and looks amazing,” said Hazel. “Many people are accustomed to seeing print on beautiful virgin material – what they imagine as perfect material. I hope to see the world redefine what we see as perfect.”
