Eco-Benefits of Digital Printing for DVD Duplication Packaging

It doesn't matter how you say it - eco-friendly, carbon neutral, environmentally friendly, earth conscious, green, sustainable, or any number of other popular catch-phrases… it’s really all about the same thing.

Without a doubt being ‘green’ is very much front-of-mind these days, and rightly so, but while the attention being put on being green is very important (and completely overdue) there are many shrewd marketers and advertisers who will try to cash in on what they see as nothing more than the latest trend so you still need to be a discerning consumer.

Digital Printing - Cleaner and Greener

At DVDwest.ca we recognize our responsibility to be a good citizen, both in a corporate and global sense, so we have invested in the right equipment, processes and materials to provide the most sustainable and environmentally-friendly printing solutions as possible for our customers. Well over 90% of the print and packaging products for our DVD manufacturing and DVD duplication is printed in-house on state of the art digital printers, intentionally so, and for very good reason.

You see, the evolution of digital printing has revolutionized the printing industry. While traditional offset printing is considered an industrial process, digital printing is a computerized process which happens to be less wasteful and less demanding on resources compared to conventional print. In turn, less waste and less consumption equates to a more environmentally friendly method of printing which is beneficial for everyone... even a DVD manufacturing and DVD duplication company like us!

Digital printing has eliminated many stages of traditional printing that were time, energy and resource-consuming. This includes processes that were accompanied by liquid waste, solid waste and fumes - some of which actually require specialist treatment for disposal. Additionally, digital printing eliminates the use of chemistry for film and plate processing, as well as the substantial waste of materials used in the 'make ready' stage of offset printing.
