Traditional printing inks can contribute to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are harmful to the environment. With sustainability taking center stage, companies are leaning towards vegetable based inks for their printing materials, including inks made from soy and canola. In addition to corresponding with an eco-friendly marketing campaign, vegetable-based inks produce a bright and healthy colour!
Print Designs Are Becoming More Minimal
As brands encapsulate green marketing within their core messaging, creating print marketing materials with a simplified design aligns with their new clean aesthetic. Intricate and complicated printed graphics that take great amounts of machine power and ink to produce are being replaced with QR codes. By simplifying print designs, companies can also reduce their carbon footprint by creating branded print designs that can be repurposed, such as a letterhead or business card logo.
Brand Are Offering “Take Back” Programs To Implement Zero Waste Strategies
In 2024 smartphones have increased our productivity and apps have accelerated our time management. As much as technology has advanced the ways in which we conduct business when it comes to marketing, Word of Mouth tactics and direct communication campaigns still have the largest traction.
