In the Age of the Conscious Consumer, individuals and companies alike are embracing products, retailers and manufacturers who successfully bring sustainable products and services to the marketplace, resonating with values-based purchasing decisions and ultimately "doing good" for people and the planet.

Coinciding with consumers' re-emerging preference of receiving direct mail that engages, informs and connects with the recipient on a personal level, Sallart Studios has introduced greeting cards that give more. Five percent of the profits from Sallart's ecoGREETINGS™ — as well as all other products in the company's eco product suite — are donated to environmental and social organizations. "We have aligned our values and corporate strategy with our overall guiding purpose," states Co-Founder Pete Magolon, "essentially we aim to make more so we can give more."

In time for the holiday season, Sallart's 2009 Holiday Season greeting cards bring the highest level of eco-value to the greeting card industry. With respected third party environmental certifications such as Forest Stewardship Council, Rainforest Alliance and EcoLogo, the cards are also certified 100 percent carbon neutral, designed and printed with 100 percent green electricity and are made with process chlorine free paper that contains 100 percent post consumer waste. In a time where water management is crucial to the world's population, waterless print technology using vegetable-based inks is offered for large orders, while smaller volumes are printed digitally to ensure minimal waste.

Sallart's ecoGREETINGS™ are fully customizable and provide the option for clients to include their branding and sustainability message on the back of the card, as a means of communicating corporate sustainability initiatives to their target markets.
