Carbon Neutral

To maintain our carbon Neutral status, every year we have an assessment which measures the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions we produce- directly or indirectly- from everything we print here at Generation Press. We have done good.

-
In 2006 we emitted 67 tonnes of C02. In 2009 we reduced that to 63 tonnes, and further still to just 58 tonnes in 2010. This is a 8.3% improvement from last year to this and a total decrease of 14.4% since 2006.
And because nearly all of our waste is now recycled, we have gone from creating 3.2 to just 0.5 tonnes of waste per year since 2009- which is a massive improvement of 145%.
We are very pleased with that, and have just given ourselves a little pat on the back.

Making Dad and everyone at Generation Press very proud!
Wired Magazine

The giggle of embarrassment, do they really mean us, the swelling of pride.
-
Generation Press were thrilled to find that they had been selected by the Wired Magazine as one of twenty companies seen as the World's most innovative businesses. Alongside the likes of McLaren F1 and Howies. Sounds great doesn't it!
-
A few words from the editor:

"We weren't looking for firms making innovative products -- there are plenty of those in the pages of Wired every month. No, we wanted to discover innovative ways to work -- creative new approaches to motivating staff, or sourcing ideas for ad campaigns, or empowering teams to transform the service they offer customers. The 20 examples that made our final list, we hope, will inspire you to rethink your own approach to how you work. Because who can risk relying on the old rules".

What is particularly pleasing about this article is that it is about how we do business, rather than the work we have produced with the amazing designers we have been lucky enough to work with up until now. I believe this is about running an honest business, a very talented team, passion and relationships! Thats our innovation.

LCA Student Business Cards

It was great to see four of the LCA//BA Graphic Design graduating students come to us for their very first business cards.
-
Chloe, Ian, Liam & Ollie wanted some stunning looking cards in time to hand out at their final shows. Initially each of them had their own specifications, but with some discussion we helped all four come up with individual results whilst keeping the processes to a minimum. They each received a set of one colour, foil blocked (shinny black), one sided, business cards printed on Pristine white, Colorplan, 540gsm. We then gave each of them the option to have a special coloured edge, this added that super added value and individuality.
-
Good luck guys!

Generation Letterpress

For years we have dreamt of bringing letterpress printing in house, especially as my Grandfather and Great Grandfather were both compositors. With the craft of printing being so popular we have, for some time now, been getting the right equipment and the ideal set up in place.
-
At Generation Press printing is our livelihood, we have to view letterpress printing in the same way we do for litho or foil block printing, setting high standards to give our customers a letterpress solution.
-
Letterpress is very close to our hearts, it is part of our heritage and that heritage is in manufacturing. We look forward to being challenged by you with yet another print process we can offer.

Tree Initiative

From today we will start saving our pennies and will invest in planting trees. We finally found a local tree initiative we love where trees will be planted at a forest in Sussex, UK.
-
As long- time believers in sustainable print, planting trees is a logical next step for us, together with our other long-standing initiatives of using renewable energy, constantly improving our recycling rates, and being both FSC certified and Carbon Neutral. As part of our Tree Initiative, we will also soon be launching our limited-edition recycled products, which reuse materials otherwise wasted in the print process. So not only do we demand less raw material for these products, we vastly reduce our waste output. But not only are these little items clever in their production & materials, a percentage of proceeds from sales will go towards our tree planting scheme.
-
We are always looking for new ways to improve and our Tree Initiative is just another one of many steps towards our goals.
-
If thats not enough, here are three other reasons why we think its really worth doing:

01. If just 4% of land in the UK was planted with woodland over the next 40 years, it could rid us of 10% of predicted gas emissions in the same period. Woodland in the UK currently covers just 12% of its total land, which falls far short of the European average of 37%. A 200% increase in the UKs tree planting rate would improve woodland coverage to 16% which all helps, but the UK still has a long way to go to meet its hugely challenging emissions reduction targets. Our Tree Initiative is our own contribution towards this goal.

02. One tree can produce 260 pounds of oxygen a year.
Two mature trees can produce enough oxygen to support a family of four, annually.

03. A single tree can absorb the carbon produced by one car travelling 26,000 miles, in one year.
