Chain of Custody

Our Christmas cards and envelopes are manufactured in the U.K. from materials carrying the FSC® (FSC-C003675) Chain of Custody certification.

The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation established to promote the responsible management of the world's forests.

By displaying the FSC logo you are showing that your cards have been independently certified as coming from forests and other controlled sources that meet the internationally recognised FSC Principles and Criteria of Forest Stewardship.

We here at Impress Publishing are constantly working towards maintaining our Forest Stewardship Council’s® Chain of Custody certification. (NQA-COC-002793)

All the cards we produce are printed on FSC certificated board, by an FSC certificated printer. We then pack these with envelopes manufactured from FSC certificated paper.

To enable us to print the FSC logo and claims on the cards we produce we need to evidence the FSC record keeping and product control systems here at our site:

Appledown House, Barton Business Park, Canterbury, Kent CT1 3TE

Greetings cards with or without envelopes and other printed products.
