As a print production company, we realize the importance of being environmentally friendly. We see it as our responsibility to our local community, and the planet, to continuously aid in educating our clients about what’s available in terms of new earth-friendly technologies and resources in the graphic arts and print industries, while further educating ourselves in the process.
We go to great lengths to ensure that everything we do is strategically carried out in the most environmentally responsible fashion. At Tukaiz, we continually seek opportunities to improve our environmental impact through new methods, project procedures, technologies, equipment, inks and substrates. We take this knowledge as we learn and support and educate our clients with their environmental needs and efforts.
