Sustainable Postcards - How it came about

PrintTogether exhibited at the Sustainable Living Festival, in February 2008 at Federation Square, Melbourne. Throughout the weekend we offered information and advice on environmentally friendly printing and design. We also had a wall of free sustainable postcards from a variety of environmentally responsible and ethical businesses.

The idea was to promote sustainable living through a series of postcards printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper, using vegetable based inks and clean printing processes.
The weekend was a huge success with over 72,000 postcards being given out to visitors. People were happy to take free postcards to send to friends to help spread the word about sustainable living.

Launch of Sustainable Postcards:

Following on from the feedback we received at the Sustainable Living Festival, PrintTogether launched a new initiative -'Sustainable Postcards' - in Melbourne, on World Environment Day: 5th June 2008.
