The Three Pillars That Set Royal Printers Apart

Sustainability

At Royal, we believe there is always a greener way to print. That’s why we offer Sugar Sheet paper as a forest-free alternative to traditional paper. Our sustainability practices go beyond materials. From electric vehicle deliveries and chemical-free plate processing to renewable energy credits, we embed environmental responsibility into everything we do. Choosing Royal means making a print decision that supports future generations.

Green Business is Good Business

ZERO-EMISSION DELIVERY

Royal has partnered with Vancouver-based Zipply Couriers and Novex Delivery Solutions. Their unique fleets of zero-emission and hybrid vehicles deliver our printing throughout the lower mainland, reducing CO2 emissions by over 50%. Furthermore, Novex is proudly carbon neutral and B Corp certified. These solutions have provided us the ability to deliver on our commitment to sustainable printing.

GREEN ENERGY PRINTING

In partnership with Bullfrog Power, Royal introduces another first for BC – printing produced entirely with green energy. With the help of green energy certificates audited by Deloitte, our printing facility places wind energy and landfill natural gas onto the grid equal to our usage, resulting in net zero emissions and saving 4 tons of CO2 per month!

PAPER WASTE REDUCTION

One of the largest waste streams in printing is paper, and most paper is wasted during the press setup process for each order. In partnership with Heidelberg, Royal has invested in press technology previously only available in Toronto. As a result, press waste has been reduced by 90%, press setup times are 40% faster, and our price for full color offset printing has never been more competitive. Any remaining waste paper is recycled. We also have a program for proper disposal of other materials such as plastics, metals, inks, batteries, lightbulbs, pens and pencils.

SUSTAINABLE INKS

At Royal, all of our offset presses use vegetable-based and soy-based inks with low VOCs, ensuring a healthier environment for both our team and our clients. These eco-friendly inks reduce harmful emissions and contribute to cleaner air quality. By choosing vegetable-based inks, we uphold our commitment to sustainability while also delivering the quality our customers have come to expect.

ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING

At Royal Printers, we’re committed to sustainability in everything we do—including our packaging. Our shipping cartons are made from 100% recycled corrugated cardboard, ensuring that each box you receive is part of a closed-loop system. For your business card and letterhead orders, we take it a step further with 100% tree-free boxes crafted from our innovative Sugar Sheet^TM. By reducing waste and conserving natural resources, we provide eco-friendly packaging that aligns with our mission: making sustainable print an easy business decision!

CHEM-FREE PLATES

Lithographic offset presses require the use of metal plates that transfer the image to be printed. Plate preparation often involves the use of various harmful chemicals, as well as energy and water waste. At Royal, we use chem-free printing plates, which eliminate the need for harmful chemicals and significantly reduce environmental impact. This eco-friendly approach not only conserves water and energy but also improves workplace safety for our team.
