Studies have consistently shown that the highest carbon footprint of a printed product – like magazines and newspapers – comes from the paper these materials are printed on. The Blueline Ranking is an invaluable resource for every business requiring printing services while also striving to meet corporate sustainability objectives.

This ranking assesses North America’s top printers (by sales) according to 41 criteria (for a possible total of 51 points) related to their engagement on forest conservation and support of next generation solutions, forest fibre sourcing, sustainability standards, practices, transparency and the options they offer customers, thereby making it easy for businesses to find a print partner that will help them meet sustainability goals.
