Helping You Find a More Sustainable Content Strategy
Find the best strategy for your business needs by partnering with Mimeo. Whether you need to reduce your carbon footprint by switching to on-demand digital printing or want to plan your transition to a purely digital environment, Mimeo’s Customer Success Managers will work with you to find the right solution for you.
Transition to On-Demand Digital Print
The first step in reducing your carbon footprint is transitioning to on-demand digital print. Digital printing is more sustainable than the traditional offset printing that is common in most organizations. No Order Minimums Means Zero Waste With on-demand digital printing, you print exactly the quantity you need, which can be as few as 1 copy. Online Proof Means Reduced Waste Our online proofing technology reduces your carbon footprint. No extra paper is consumed printing the sample. No gas is wasted delivering a sample to your office.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – Find More Sustainable Print Options
For many organizations, going completely paperless is simply not a reality. We will work with you to find more sustainable options for your print projects. This could mean using recycled paper, tabs, and binders. It could also mean updating your process so that you only need to update the back section of a training manual each year, rather than throwing out the whole book and reprinting annually.Our Customer Success Manager will partner with you to understand your print needs and find the most sustainable option for your business.
Migrate to a Digital Environment
Partner with Mimeo for a project plan to transition from print to digital content. Because our platform includes both print and digital solutions, we are uniquely positioned to help you manage your transition.
