This year we decided not to print a brochure for the winter season. Instead we designed a card that attracts the attention as usual but only contains the information you need to reach us and our web site. The only language we used is English and no specific products or dates are mentioned. The reason for this is to minimize our impact on the environment by drastically reducing the amount of printed materials we need. This is acheived by directing customers to the website for specific information and increasing the reuse of printed materials. Also, as our cards double as postcards, a synergy effect is created that may cause us to need less cards for marketing.

All our printed materials are printed by a Swan certified printer. This means that the printed materials are produced in such a way that minimal impact on the environment is caused.
