Sustainability is very important to us! We make all of our products in the USA, use every inch of space on our press sheets to reduce paper scrap, and recycle 100% of production wastes. Our cards are printed with veggie-based inks on papers made from sustainable-harvest pulp and a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste. 

Since 2020, our Portland headquarters and warehouse have run on solar energy, saving over 100 tons CO2 (and counting!) from entering the atmosphere.
