Social responsibility
Our CSR commitment
Short circuits, single-unit production, reduced carbon footprint.
Our commitments
3 pillars of our CSR approach
Our print-on-demand model is inherently more responsible than traditional batch printing.
Environmental commitment
Our production model structurally reduces the environmental impact of card printing.
- Local production — short supply chain, zero unnecessary transit
- Unit printing — zero overproduction, zero waste
- No dormant stock — every card has a recipient
- Reduced carbon footprint through decentralization
Social commitment
We create local value by working with qualified partner workshops.
- Lasting partnerships with local printers
- Safe and stimulating working conditions
- Diversity, inclusion, equal opportunities
- Ongoing training for partner teams
Ethical governance
Transparency, traceability and high standards at every stage of the chain.
- Certified partners audited regularly
- Full transparency on production processes
- Complete traceability of every card produced
- Personal data protection (GDPR)
Short supply chain
Local production, reduced global impact
Our network of local printers allows us to produce as close as possible to the end recipient. Fewer kilometers traveled, fewer emissions, optimized lead times.
Unlike traditional centralized printing that requires long-distance shipping, our decentralized model minimizes transport with every order.

Concrete impact
Unit printing vs. batch printing
Traditional batch printing generates structural waste. Our model eliminates it.
Batch printing (traditional)
- Minimum orders: 100 to 500 identical cards
- Dormant stock — unused, outdated, discarded cards
- Centralized production — long-distance shipping
- Changes = complete reprint of the batch
Unit printing (Printags)
- Zero minimum — every card is unique and has a recipient
- Zero stock — on-demand production only
- Local production — nearest workshop to the recipient
- Instant updates — every card reflects the latest data
Supply chain
Traceability and transparency at every stage
We select our materials and partners with exacting standards. Every link in the chain is identified, qualified and audited.
- PVC certified compliant with European standards
- Traceable inks and consumables free from harmful substances
- Partner printers audited on their CSR practices
- Personal data protected (GDPR compliance)
- Recyclable packaging for shipping
