Eco Friendly Paper : Earmark Invitations

December 04, 2007 // kristen // 0 replies

Earmark Invitations creates elegant wedding invitations, everyday stationery, cards and more, with an increasing emphasis on environmentally friendly options. They are dedicated to reducing their environmental footprint and continue to increase their use of recycled and non-toxic materials with the eventual goal of turning all of their product lines into fully recycled sets.

I love what Earmark has to offer, including:

Recycled journal created using Trader Joe’s bags (I love this!) and 100% recycled paper for the interior pages

Eco-friendly Create Happiness Set, printed on 100% recycled paper (with recycled envelopes) using soy based ink

Cocoa Spice invitations, printed on recycled papers

Pink Bird silk screened cards, printed on recycled paper

Reindeer holiday cards, printed on recycled paper

The environment seems to be on everyone’s mind these days. So, where do you find products that support the environment, particularly in the paper goods niche?

In the coming weeks, I will have a series of posts about companies that have taken the step to offer eco-friendly paper goods. I’ll cover everything from shops that use soy based inks to shops that use recycled paper and sustainable materials to create their lines…without sacrificing the beauty and quality of the end product.
