our approach

Why work with Calverts?

Print buyers come to Calverts for four main reasons - our creativity, quality, expert advice and track record in sustainable printing.

We have proper conversations with our clients, to help them realise their print ambitions - from fairtrade teaching tools and low carbon travel guides to art and science comics and high end books. There's almost no print idea we can't turn into reality.

We have a hard-earned reputation as 'green' printers. We're always investing, learning and sharing what we know about every aspect of low environmental impact communications.

And Calverts worker co-operative business model means we're able to improve continuously, by putting our money into state-of-the art repro and printing hardware, software and training - instead of paying dividends to outside owners and shareholders.

All this adds up to higher quality, higher impact print; timely delivery - and a better print experience.

Get in touch and we'll help you print something beautiful.

Design and print affect the environment. Calverts has therefore implemented an environmental management system to the requirements of ISO 14001 to reduce our negative environmental impacts.

We are committed to comply with or exceed the requirements of environmental legislation and other environmental initiatives to which we subscribe. We are also committed to the prevention of pollution and continual improvement.

Our objectives are to:

1) Reduce our carbon emissions

2) Reduce the impact of paper use on natural resources

3) Improve resource efficiency and recycling

We have set up programmes to achieve this with targets and time scales.

Digital Printing

We've just produced this A4 landscape brochure on the brilliant new Konica Minolta 8000 digital press.

UG2LDN is a documentary about people born in Uganda who have settled in London. The accounts span 50 years of domestic and political upheaval. The narrators share their experiences of travelling under the age of 21, and having to make a new life in a new country. It tells a moving story of families torn apart.

This documentary was made by Clapham Film Unit and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. There will be a documentary screening and exhibition at TYLAP, 109 Tierney Rd on September 10th at 4pm as part of series of events organized by the Free Film Festival. More information can also be found on the filmmakers' blog.

The book was printed CMYK on Revive 100 Uncoated recycled paper, and wire comb bound with black wire.
