Sustainability is not a new concept at TEAM. We've incorporated environmentally responsible printing practices into our operation for decades.
Our FSC certification, recycled paper options, soy-based inks, and broader TEAM LEGACY sustainability initiatives are part of an ongoing commitment to responsible production.
Everything Under One Roof
TEAM operates as a single-site, U.S.-based print manufacturer, bringing printing, packaging, finishing, bindery, and fulfillment capabilities together under one roof.
That means fewer handoffs, tighter quality control, and one team managing your project from production through delivery.
Premium Quality Comes Standard
Sustainable packaging still has to perform.
Our team combines responsible material options with advanced printing, packaging, and finishing capabilities to create packaging that looks exceptional and functions in the real world.
We Help You Choose
You don't have to know which paper stock, ink, coating, or packaging structure is right before you call us.
That's our job.
Tell us what you're trying to accomplish, and we'll help you evaluate the options.

Sustainable packaging isn't about choosing one magical "green" material.
It's about making smarter decisions throughout the packaging process.
Choose Responsible Materials
We offer recycled and FSC-certified paper options that can help brands make more responsible choices about the materials used in their packaging.
TEAM is FSC certified and follows the FSC Chain of Custody requirements for certified paper and wood-fiber products, providing a verifiable system for sourcing and tracking certified materials.
Use Recycled Paper Stocks
Recycled paper can be an effective way to reduce reliance on virgin fiber while still delivering the quality and appearance your packaging requires.
We'll help you explore recycled paperboard and paper stocks based on your project's structural, visual, and performance requirements.
Consider Soy-Based Inks
TEAM has used soy-based and vegetable-oil-based inks as part of its eco-friendly printing solutions.
These non-petroleum-based ink alternatives can provide excellent color reproduction while supporting a more environmentally conscious print strategy.
Design Out Unnecessary Material
Sometimes the most sustainable packaging solution is simply using less material.
Our team can help evaluate packaging structures, dimensions, inserts, and finishing requirements to identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary components without compromising product protection or presentation.
Think Beyond the Box
Sustainable packaging involves more than the primary package.
Labels, inserts, sleeves, cards, wraps, shipping materials, and promotional components can all contribute to the overall environmental impact of a packaging program.
We can help you consider the entire printed packaging experience.
