Bacchus Press

About

Bacchus Press is a Certified Green Printer in the San Francisco Bay Area. We make it easy for you to be kind to the environment while still delivering the highest quality printing possible.

Our commitment toward sustainable printing includes:

* Sourcing only sustainable products, including 100% post-consumer recycled FSC-certified paper, vegetable-based inks for our traditional printers, and cleaning and processing solvents free of environmentally harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

* Planning jobs carefully to minimize our electricity use and paper waste

* Ensuring our plate making and plate processing are completely free of chemicals by utilizing water based printing practices

* Keeping track of our total energy usage and implementing strategies for offsetting the environmental impact

* Printing digitally whenever possible, which saves paper and natural resources

* Providing in-house finishing, distribution, and mailing services, saving natural resources by avoiding unnecessary transport from our warehouse to a second vendor

* Offering referrals, when possible, for long-distance jobs that would better serve the environment if processed in the client’s immediate neighborhood

* Recycling and reusing paper and other supplies, such as toner cartridges for our digital printers

* Using environmentally regulated cleaning products around the office in the interest of sustainability and employee well being

* Using efficient lighting components and low flow plumbing installations in order to reduce both electricity and water consumption
