Green is Good
More and more companies are turning to green technologies to keep their products friendly to the earth while maintaining a high standard of quality. But Cindy Witkow Designs has always taken to heart the concept that "Green is Good."
Cindy Witkow's designs are personal and unique, but what's also interesting about them is the emphasis on using green components to make the products green with a capital G.
In the end, Witkow describes it best. "We aren't compromising our earth and environment to make stationery and we aren't compromising our stationery to save the environment and earth," she said.
Witkow uses recycled paper for her products and 100% recycled envelopes, but the paper is strong and smooth, unlike some recycled paper which feels odd and which doesn't take well to printing. The envelopes are 80lb weight, which means they are of extremely high quality. The white and ivory papers are 80lb cover weight, giving them a very heavyweight feel. They are both available in smooth and textured finish.
Since Witkow gives emphasis to green elements within her business, she's proud to offer 100% recycled paper; her customers can help complete the triangle by encouraging people to recycle their invitations and other Witkow products.
In addition to recycled paper, Cindy Witkow Designs uses "solid ink" for all printing needs. The solid ink is manufactured by Xerox and makes use of sticks of non-toxic ink rather than toner or inkjet cartridges. The color is vibrant and long lasting, but with far less impact on the environment. The solid ink produces 90 percent less waste than that produced by a typical laser printer.
What's even better about the solid ink is that it produces a slightly raised appearance, which lends an elegant and high-end look to the finished printed designs.
While customers might not consider they can get stationery products that are friendly to the environment, Cindy Witkow Designs proves that you can do just that - enjoy beautiful stationery that's personalized and unique, but that leaves no negative environmental impact.
While being green is important, Cindy Witkow Designs hardly ignores the product. The line of available products includes party invitations, announcements, fold over stationery, gift labels, holiday cards and note cards. All are personalized and can be even further personalized with a picture or other image supplied by the customer.
Witkow customers enjoy knowing that they are creating a personalized product that suits their needs, interests and target audience, while also doing something good for the environment.

Not only does Cindy Witkow Designs do great, customized work,their recycled paper and ink is off the highest quality. You can never tell that the paper was recycled.
It's true, the paper has a high quality look and feel. And there is tons of variety in the paper we use. The paper finishes can be smooth, satin, felt, vellum, laid, linen and so on. These papers can be found with a minimum of 30% recycled content and are certified by many green agencies. Envelopes are always 100% recycled content and are far better than any envelopes I have ever used. So thick!
