FSC certification guarantees that the fiber used to produce paper has been harvested from a properly managed forest.

FSC is the primary certification recognized by leading environmental groups, as well as industry and government agencies. Environmental supporters include Rainforest Alliance, World Wildlife Fund and Forest Ethics.

FSC is now considered as an alternative to, or as an addition to, recycled fiber, and is regarded by many as the most important environmental designation in the paper industry. Because responsible paper procurement is currently the major concern for environmentally-friendly printing, this certification will give you confidence in your print-buying.

By utilizing FSC certified paper and displaying the FSC logo, your organization can portray the image that you are a concerned corporate citizen who recognizes the importance of supporting socially and environmentally responsible forest management.

For decades we have been functioning as an environmentally-conscience business by both protecting our natural resources and supporting the efforts of others who do so. Included in our vision of conservation has been the goal of being a successful business that benefits our community, while living in harmony with our natural environment.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification guarantees that the fiber used to produce paper has been harvested in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. This ensures a successful co-existence of business and our natural surroundings.

Your organization can be confident in the objective, sustainable policies that we adhere to, and your stakeholders can be confident in your responsible purchasing of products and services from Hickory Printing Solutions.

If your organization wants to demonstrate to your stakeholders that you are practicing socially and environmentally responsible paper procurement, then FSC certified paper is for you.

When you choose FSC certified paper on your print project, Hickory Printing Solutions can include the FSC logo on that printed piece. This offers the visual confirmation that your stakeholders will want to see.

FSC Certification is a verification of responsible forestry practices, not a change in the paper manufacturing process.

When you would like your printed piece to be FSC certificed, be sure to:

1. Select FSC certified paper,
2. Decide where the FSC logo will appear on the final printed piece, and
3. Notify Hickory Printing Solutions.

We will work with our third-party certification body to obtain approval, ensuring that the FSC logo will appear on your printed piece.
