FSC Certified Printing Explained

Below are some answers to a selection of the most common questions asked about FSC Certified Printing.



What is the FSC?

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit organisation founded in 1993 to support the world's forests, it is their job to ensure forests are managed in a responsible manner: to protect wildlife habitat, to respect the rights of local communities and to maintain sustainable forests.



What is the FSC Chain Of Custody?

The FSC Chain of Custody is the process by which the source of a timber product is verified. Certification involves inspection and auditing of the land from which the timber and pulpwood originate and tracking it through all steps of the production process to the end user: from paper manufacturer, to distributor, to the printing by an FSC Certified printing company. Only when this process has been independently verified is the product eligible to carry the FSC logo.



Can I display the FSC Certified logo on my printed product?

The majority of our print products are FSC Certified and our FSC Chain Of Custody Certification means we are authorised to add the worldwide respected FSC logo to these products on request.



What does the FSC Certified logo show/mean?

By displaying the FSC logo you are showing others that your printed products have been independently certified as coming from forests that meet the internationally recognised FSC Principles and Criteria of Forest Stewardship, in short, you are pro-active in caring for the environment! In time, hopefully by displaying this logo others will become more aware and choose FSC Certified Printing.
