The Wide Format Company unveils a new website focused exclusively on recyclable and biodegradable sign solutions. BuyGreenSigns.com

At BuyGreenSigns.com anyone with basic internet skills can create and customize signs, banners and posters using state-of-the-art web tools. Design simple or complex graphics without installing any software. Easily upload images, add text, insert Facebook photos and pick from a large selection of ClipArt. Create a graphic and then order the sign printed on a variety of Eco-Friendly printing material.

For many years the large format printing industry had very few options for those looking to be “Green”. The few options offered by the local sign shop were very high in price. This is what makes BuyGreenSigns.com so great. There is a huge selection of printing materials for banners, posters, plastic signs, cardboard signs, backlits and even biodegradable foam boards. Virtually anything you want can now be done in an eco-friendly way. The website will not allow someone to create a sign that is non-Recyclable or non-Biodegradable. Example: Lamination is not allowed on an HP Tyvek Banner because the special biodegradable laminate will disrupt the Tyvek recycling process. However, the BioLam is perfectly compatible with other biodegradable paper poster materials. The site is designed to lead the customer down a “green” path and help them avoid eco-harmful options.

Burlap Banner – NatureWoven material

Neil — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 16:09:53 +0000

The Wide Format Company is proud to offer an amazing new printing material made from jute plant. It looks like Burlap (potato sack material) but it has a durable backer so it can be used indoor and outdoor for up to a year. We can print full color graphics on this material using our BioInk printer which is using corn based inks. When you’re done advertising with this material, it’s biodegradable and even compostable. This is the first product we’ve released that is actually compostable. If you’re looking for a banner or poster that has a really organic look and feel, this is for you. We have the material in stock and we are currently taking on large format print projects for it.
