Printing Methods While no printing method is 100% sustainable, there are options to consider based on your goals, such as using water or soy-based inks.

Alternative Sustainable Solutions

• Blind Embossing/Debossing: no inks used • Sewing labels or patches: After removing the patch or label, some materials can then be recycled afterwards (depending on the base material and the patch material)

Other Considerations

• The fewer the colors, the less detailed the design, and a smaller print coverage can all lead to less water waste discharged to the environment
