Leanin' Tree, an in-house manufacturer of specialty greeting cards, has always had a commitment to doing what's right for the environment.
"Like most companies, we use precious resources to bring our products to the marketplace," says Bill Leonard, director of Prepress and Printing. "To minimize this impact we print all our cards and envelopes on recycled paper, which is also elemental chlorine-free, and comes from SFI-accredited mills."
