At Corvus Crafts, we are committed to innovative sustainability practices with a focus on how everything we do in our shop directly impacts our community. We are changing the way we do business to preserve natural resources and the environment by reducing waste and reusing or recycling production materials, when possible. We have partnered with local artisans to upcycle our misprinted apparel into newly designed one-of-a-kind street wear, our paper scrap is made into unique, custom resin jewelry and framed artwork and cards. Our misprinted vinyl banners are made into totes, messenger bags, and more. All of these items are available in our retail storefront.

​

Partnering with our customers is paramount to meeting our sustainability goals. We aim to help our customers promote themselves in more sustainable ways through their printing and communication projects. Together, we can make a difference. 

​

At this time, we cannot afford the costly inclusion into the FSC certification program, but we only use FSC certified paper in our print shop and adhere to all of the practices that are required to be FSC certified.

​

Here are just some of our innovative offerings that are changing our environmental footprint: 

​

• Digital and direct-to-plate technology requiring fewer chemicals 

• Recycled and PCW paper that minimizes water and energy consumption and promotes sustainable forest management 

• Soy-based inks which release fewer compounds into the air when drying 

• Graphic design that creates “eco-friendly” brochures and marketing materials 

• Scanning and archiving services that encourage paper recycling, rather than hard copy file storage 

• Streamlined workflow that helps minimize waste and optimize efficiency 

• Website “Send-a-File” and “Request-a-Quote” features that reduce the environmental effects of unnecessary transportation 

• Web to Print and on demand digital printing that help eliminate inventory that becomes obsolete and ends up in landfills 

• Online ordering capabilities that help minimize ordering errors that lead to wasted materials and energy resources 

• Variable data printing that provides for more targeted marketing messaging thus also minimizing wasted materials and energy resources 

• Working with local artisans to reimagine our paper and fabric scrap into new useable items. 

 

In addition, we support compliance with The Lacey Act Amendment of 2008 prohibiting all trade in plant and plant products that are illegally sourced from any U.S. State or any foreign country and expect our paper suppliers to ensure that they are in compliance with the Act relative to the paper we purchase.
