Holiday Greeting Card Retailer Offers Environmentally Friendly Options
Holiday Greeting Card Retailer Offers Environmentally Friendly Options
Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) September 20, 2006
Every year U.S. businesses and consumers buy and send out billions of holiday greeting cards. According to the Greeting Card Association, that number is around seven billion cards per year. The vast majority of those cards were single-use cards that end up in landfills across the nation. Greeting card retailer, Hammond Greetings and Promotions (http://www.hammond.com), offers a greener solution. Hammond sells recycled greeting cards that are certified to meet the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
The fact that these cards are more environmentally friendly than most doesn’t mean they aren’t just as classy. These cards feature beautiful designs and enhancements like foil and embossing. As with all Hammond cards, these greeting cards can be ordered with customized greetings, logos and messages printed right onto the cards.
Hammond’s FSC Certified cards are made by National Envelope, which is the only card and envelope manufacturer in the U.S. to be certified by SmartWood as meeting the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council. Each card is produced on a heavy felt FSC certified stock with the FSC logo on the back and includes a matching FSC envelope.
The Forest Stewardship Council is an international network which promotes responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC’s model of certification allows products that flow from certified forests to enter the marketplace with a credential that is unique. Any FSC labeled product can be traced back to a certified source. This aspect of the system is the basis for any credible certification system and is the link between consumer preference and responsible, on the ground forest management.
Hammond Greetings has been online at http://www.hammond.com since 1995. They sell a wide variety of greeting cards for occasions ranging from Birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. They also offer sympathy, congratulations and thank you cards.
