Ashford Press Goals

Ashford Press promise to never compramise on quality and to always offer the absolute lowest prices that can be acheived.

Ashford Press encourage the use of materials which include recycled fibre from recovered waste paper and/or virgin fibre sourced with a forest certification scheme approval such as FSC or PEFC. All paper elements including window envelopes should be recyclable.

Ashford Press encourage all mailings to contain clear and visible promotion of recycling messages and information on how to recycle the mailing item or the envelope.

Ashford Press encourage suppressing customer and prospect data, where the data is not from a consent-based file, against the Mail Preference Service, ensuring all items are fully and accurately addressed and post coded and to reduce unwanted mail.

Ashford Press promise to always strive towards cleaner and more responsible and sustainable methods of production.

Our Green Credentials

Here are some of the methods by which Ashford Press are striving to offer Low Cost @ No Cost.

Solar Power - Ashford Press have installed a 135KW Solar PV Power System at our production site, consisting of more than 500 solar panels! It generates more electricity than we use! We are an electricity exporter and Carbon Negative as far as our power usage is concerned!

Recycling - Ashford Press recycle absolutely everything that can be commercially recycled! From every scrap of paper and packaging, to all our machine consumables and spares, even office toner cartridges and plastics. At most we discard one wheelie bin of waste a week which can’t be commercially recycled – which is incredible for an organisation of our size!

Machine Efficiency - Ashford Press utilise the latest and most efficient digital equipment. The equipment is designed to provide the maximum throughput for the minimum amount of power used. The digital presses that Ashford Press favour are some of the most efficient in the industry, reducing the carbon footprint still further.

Recycled Paper - Ashford Press promote the use of recycled materials in all of our mailings. Recycled papers are extremely good quality and take advantage of the incredible nature of the material which allows obsolete items to be re-used for future productions. The process is commercially and financially sound and has the obvious impact of reducing carbon footprint dramatically.

Putting Something Back - Working with woodland conservationalists, we support the exclusive planting of deciduous trees such as Ash and Oak, in British woodlands.

PEFC & FSC papers - Ashford Press promote the use of PEFC and FSC papers and materials where recycled alternatives are not available or suitable.

Recycle Mail Pieces - On every mail piece Ashford Press promote the recycling of the mail piece itself. Thus beginning the cycle once more and reducing the carbon footprint still further.

Use Less - The best way to limit carbon production and reduce the usage of natural resources is to use less! In addition to our super efficient equipment, Ashford Press have taken every step to reduce our power and resource usage to a minimum. LED lights have replaced traditional lights throughout our premises and heating systems updated for maximum efficiency.

Promote Targeted Mail - Ashford Press encourage suppressing customer and prospect data, where the data is not from a consent-based file, against the Mail Preference Service, ensuring all items are fully and accurately addressed and post coded and to reduce unwanted mail.

These are some of the methods Ashford Press employ in the mission to achieve Low Cost @ No Cost! The Ashford Press Environmental Policy revolves around the 6Ps, Paper, Packaging, Production, Power, Pollution and Putting Back. In each case we constantly look for new ways to combat the effects of each of these on the environment. In terms of power, we are net exporters of totally clean energy and in terms of the other 5Ps we have largely mitigated any negative impact. If you would like to know more, please contact us.
