What Makes a Great Eco Print Supplier: Our Verification Checklist

Not all eco print suppliers are equal. Here is the checklist we use at printing.uk to verify credentials.

The eco print market has a greenwashing problem. At printing.uk, every supplier goes through a verification process before they are approved to receive quote requests.

Tier 1: Mandatory credentials

FSC chain of custody certification: We verify the certificate number against the FSC public database. Registered UK business: Companies House registration with current status. Liability insurance: Adequate professional indemnity and product liability.

Tier 2: Strong eco signals

ISO 14001: Independently audited environmental management system. Vegetable-based ink usage: Confirmed in writing. Renewable energy: Percentage of operations powered by certified renewable energy.

Ongoing monitoring

FSC certificates are verified annually. We re-check at each renewal and remove suppliers whose credentials lapse.
