The Medium Is the Message
There's something electric about holding a newspaper with your story on the front page. It's tactile, it's nostalgic, and it stops people in their tracks. No one throws away a custom newspaper.
Newsprint gives your event an authentic, editorial feel that glossy brochures and digital screens simply can't replicate. The texture, the smell of fresh ink, the satisfying fold — it creates an experience your guests will remember and keep.
And unlike most printed materials, newsprint is one of the most environmentally friendly substrates available. Made primarily from recycled fibers, printed with soy-based inks, and fully biodegradable in weeks.

The Sustainable Choice
Newsprint Is the Most Eco-Friendly Print Material on Earth
Choosing newsprint for your event isn't just a style statement — it's one of the most environmentally responsible printing decisions you can make.
Highest Recycling Rate of Any Paper
Newsprint has a 73% recycling rate in the US — higher than any other paper product. Most newsprint is made from 80-100% recycled fiber, making it a truly circular material.
Biodegrades in Weeks, Not Years
Newsprint fully biodegrades in 2-6 weeks in a landfill or compost pile. Compare that to glossy coated paper (decades) or plastic-laminated materials (centuries). Your event keepsake won't outlive the planet.
80% Less Water Than Glossy Paper
Manufacturing newsprint uses up to 80% less water than coated/glossy stocks. No clay coating, no bleaching to bright white, no chemical-intensive finishing. Our RISO soy-based inks are non-toxic and petroleum-free.
Lower Carbon Than Any Alternative
Newsprint production generates ~0.45 kg CO2 per kg of paper — roughly half the footprint of coated paper (~0.9 kg). Combined with our energy-efficient RISO printing, your event's carbon impact is minimal.
