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.

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.

Books

intoartbookpic
Hot off the press is a new book from local collective Intoart, exploring their distinctive approach to studio practice.

Based on a two year period covering their exhibition at The Whitechapel Gallery the book uses artworks, conversations, writings, workshops and films to challenge perceived ideas on art and disability.

We previously worked with Intoart on their Studio Project book and in partnership with them on the Claremont development.

Officially launched on 16/09/2010 at The Whitechapel Gallery, See The Revolutionary Art Exhibit, is printed on Challenger Matt FSC paper, using vegetable oil-based biodegradable ink and bound with a tactile soft-touch case cover.
