Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

 
Made from wood fiber, Envi Card Stock is an environmentally preferable replacement for plastics and PVC materials often used in retail gift card. The award winning product was recognized this past month as a product demonstrating manufacturing leadership by Monadnock Papers (Bennington, N.H., USA).
 
It is durable and prints crisply using standard offset printing techniques. Envi Card Stock is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified and tested to be repulpable/recyclable, and can simply be tossed into the mixed bin after use.

"Consumers are increasingly seeking brands that demonstrate corporate social responsibility and are holding them accountable by demanding that concrete, meaningful actions be taken to implement sound environmental practices," said Paul Ciccone, VP of research and development, Monadnock Paper.

Just like plastic gift cards, paper-based cards are flexible enough to bend and durable enough to withstand a washing machine cycle. In fact, Monadnock has had no reported failures of its more than 200 million paper gift cards on the market today.
