Platinum Print Sponsors Business Awards Green Award.

Harrogate printers, Platinum Print, are proud to sponsor the Ackrills Green Business Award. As one of only four Pantone-accredited printers in the UK, Platinum Print has had an unrivalled reputation for providing a top quality product and excellent service since 1988. From the simplest business cards to the most complex full colour literature requiring a whole range of techniques including laser overprinting and personalization to bespoke cutting and creasing and shrink-wrapping, Platinum can fulfill the print requirements of large and small businesses.

Platinum’s dedicated graphics team work directly with customers to ensure the brief is interpreted to an exceptional standard and the sales team guarantees that all jobs are efficiently tracked to completion. Platinum’s twenty-plus staff is committed to providing a professional service.

Platinum Mailing Service handles direct mail for customers all over the UK, from regular newsletters to monthly statements and personalized items. Mailsort facilities can save customers over 30% on postage and involves taking the printed item through to the ‘postman’s walk’ stage using sophisticated software that works with the customer’s mailing list. A free database analysis service is offered to show customers how much money can be saved by mailing in this way. The commitment to environmentally-friendly business ethics is considered fundamental at Platinum.

From the purchase of the latest Komori 5 colour press which uses fewer chemicals, vegetable inks and no alcohol, Platinum’s environmental policy guarantees their commitment to minimise the impact of their business on the environment. As recent finalists for an environmental award, their environmental management system ensures that waste is minimized, that energy is used efficiently and that recycled products are used wherever possible. Accreditation through the Forestry Stewardship Council is already in progress and in the last year, Platinum printed over 33 tons of recycled paper which saved 790 trees!

Managing director, David Wyvill says, ‘We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and encouraging the companies that we work with to do the same. Taking the green route does not necessarily mean a reduction in quality or an increase in cost – it just means changing the way you think about how you do business. We hope this initiative will do something to bring this change about.’
