CMS is Growing Green.  Grow with us.
 
In celebration of Earth Day and Arbor Day, Creative Marketing Solutions has planted 80 trees in honor of our clients this April.  With help from the Arbor Day Foundation, these trees are being planted in the Plumas National Forest in northern California. 
Greetings!

 
 Grow with us. Here's what we're doing.
 
We're getting certified.
We are very excited to announce that we have begun the process of becoming FSC certified.  FSC is an independant, non-governmental, not for profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world's forests.  It provides standard setting, trademark assurance and accreditation services for companies and organizations interested in responsible forestry.  Products carrying the FSC label are independently certified to assure consumers that they come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations.
 
We're recycling.
CMS recycles an average of 40,000 lbs of paper and cardboard each month.
 
We're operating green.
We own two iGen3 production presses, which remain unchallenged as the industry's most green machines.
  • 97% of the iGen3's components are recyclable or re-manufacturable.
  • More than 80%, by weight, of the waste generated by the iGen3 can be returned, reused, or recycled.
  • The iGen3 uses dry inks that are non-toxic and have closed containers with a transfer efficiency rate of almost 100%.
  • The iGen3 does not generate or use alcohols, chlorinated solvents, acids, or flammable materials.
  • The iGen3 was engineered and evaluated to minimize risk of injury.

We offer print on demand solutions.

  • Creating documents only in the quantity and at the time they are needed.
  • Eliminating obsolescence of printed materials, reducing waste by as much as 30%.

We print efficiently.

  •  By printing as many images per page as possible on a sheet, and taking advantage of the largest sheet sizes.

We utilize soft proofing.

  •  CMS uses the internet and e-mail to deliver soft-proofs to our clients therefore; helping reduce paper usage, saving phone, courier and postage charges, reducing the environmental impact of sending paper by air or ground transportation, and enabling more rapid turn-around of print jobs.

We update our mailing lists.

  •  NCOAlink is a method of address updating developed by the United States Postal Service to reduce waste.  It is estimated that 8% of all mail is undeliverable because of incorrect addresses.  18-20% of the US population changes their address each year, but their old address will remain on various mailing lists.  NCOAlink updates these addresses increasing the accuracy of the Postal System and reducing literally tons of waste.
Happy Earth Day,
