Services
Started as Tulip Graphics in 1987, with facilities in both Berkeley and San Francisco, we were one of the early adopters of digital color imaging technologies in the country, and were one of the first digital color prepress houses in the San Francisco Bay Area. Prior to the desktop publishing revolution, prepress operations were largely inefficient, wasteful, time consuming and produced toxic byproducts.
We relentlessly examine every part of our business to make it greener - from the large machinery to the seat covers in the bathroom. Printing presses produce a lot of heat. We only heat 10% of our facility and our breezy Richmond, CA location means no need for energy-hogging AC. We uncovered the windows and raised the ceilings to increase natural light and reduce overall energy usage. We have completely offset our energy usage with renewable energy credits from a local marine energy company.
Our standard Belly Bands can be printed on a variety of papers with different finishing options. Belly bands are the most economical way to package your product or printed material. They provide the best visual effect while giving you space to display your branding and communicate your message. Belly bands comes in a variety of width, paper type and weight, shape, and texture.
Select from Saddle Stitched booklets, Wire-O Booklets or Perfect Bound books. We can print as few as 25 to as many as 5000. If you need a particular paper stock, a quantity or page count, or a product size that is not available on the order page, please submit your information on the Custom Quote tab, and we will get you an estimate within one working day.

I received the brochures and they look fabulous! Everyone is thrilled with them. Shipping was fast and very reasonable and I loved the wide selection of eco-friendly paper stpck. We are an environmental non-profit that focuses on creative reuse, so we had to walk the walk with sustainable printing while also making our offerings look enticing. and I think we did that. Very pleased.

I have used Greener Printer for many projects, from business cards to customized presentation folders with inserts. They have been consistently affordable, on time, and use excellent quality papers and the color is on point. What's not to love? I'll continue to use and recommend this printer to my clients.

We seeked out Greenerprinter specifically because they were local and we share their sustainability values. I had to call Mallory a few times to help me and she was very patient and guided me through the process. If your artwork is complete and ready, you don't even have to get on the phone because everything is automated through their online platform, which also makes it super efficient. Our cards were printed and delivered within the timeframe they quoted. We are very happy and would highly recommend them.

Honestly, I would way rather pay a little more for the kind of quality and service I receive from Greener Printer. I have been using them for printing since 2005 and have always had an exemplary experience. A couple of years ago we tried a different local printer as they were half the price, but the quality of what we got ended up costing us more as we then had to go back to Greener Printer to get the whole job redone.
We won't be making that mistake again! I appreciate the attention to detail and that they are ecologically sound. The paper quality is just so beautiful, the inks vibrant and bold, and we never notice any off-gassing from them either. I highly recommend Greener Printer.

Greenprinter really came through for me. I had a rush job I asked them to do for an event we were having. Once I approved the proof they got it done in two days and shipped on time! They are very professional and easy to work with. Our company also has all of our business cards printed through them.

I love working with GreenerPrinter. They offer great customer support for questions about what to order or their products. They are also transparent about their environmental impact and credentials, which matters a lot to my organization. Some other printers make vague claims like "green" or "recycled" paper, but GreenerPrinter is FSC certified and provides clear labeling of all their different paper options.

I have worked with Greenerprinter previously on a few projects that were produced with excellent quality. For my most recent project produced by them, I had a rush job to print a program for a memorial service. GP was very flexible and helpful with prioritizing the job and getting it finished before the required due date with excellent quality. My client was extremely impressed with the finished product and grateful for the accelerated production pace. I look forward to working with GP again in the future.

Ordering prints from Greenprintewr has been the most refreshing experience. I am two years into printing my magazine and began the printer search with hopes to find a sustainable printer. Now after two print issues of my magazine, PAGE, I can confidently say that I have been taken care of by the team, and have had the help needed to execute the printing process properly and without any errors. They provide graphic feedback as well as financial solutions to completing payments for printing jobs.

My first experience ordering from Greener Printer. Excited about the possibility of using a very eco friendly printer for collateral. Unfortunately, the quality of the print job was very poor. The representative I have been speaking with agrees the quality was not acceptable. It happens! I would not leave a poor review for that reason. I leave a 1 star review due to customer service.
They initially kindly offered to replace the order. Unfortunately, the replacement approach is not the look I need, so I requested a refund for the original order. I have gotten push-back, saying they could refund me a lower amount calling it damaged in transit. That was not the case, it was poorly printed. And now I'm getting no response at all. Sad this did not work out. A very poor first impression with a first-time customer. I will not be ordering again, and I will tell others to steer clear.

Greenerprinter is extremely efficinent from helping finalize the proof to the actual arrival of the product. They were one of the few printers we found who use sustainable inks and recycled and proved an extremely cost effective option for us. Huge shoutout to Sarah and the customer service team for helping us every step of the way.

We're a sustainable brand and sustainable packaging was a top priority. We used Greener Printer for various pieces of collateral and belly bands. Couldn't be happier with the quality of the items we ordered. The Greener Printer team was extremely communicative and helpful throughout the process. Will definitely be re-ordering with them again in the future.

Have worked with this company for about 2 years now and love the quality of their work. Recently I ran into a hiccup with a customer service rep, and thankfully another employee contacted me to make the situation right. I appreciate their effort reaching out to me, and helping me with all my printing needs. Love what this company stands for.

Greenprinters did a bang up job with my new 2018 book, Pushing through Time: Synodic Cycles and Their Developing Phases. They offered choices of paper - all of excellent quality which was a requirement for this visually elegant book. I have a lot of illustrations that needed a presentation of crispness and clarity for my readers and Sarah went through those choices with us to find the best fit for that request.
The cover was beautifully printed with the exact colors of the original art. It has a smooth, elegant quality to it, which was very important to me. In addition, they accommodated us with offerings of various payment schedules and delivery options. When they said it was done, it was done. In other words, they work on a timed schedule which I appreciated.
They stayed on task, on point, and worked with me frequently as I travel a lot and catching me at various parts of the globe to okay the proof was part of their remarkable service. You cannot go wrong with Greenprinters. When I publish another book, they will be the number one choice! Georgia Stathis

I love Greenerprinter and highly recommend it. Their quality is amazing, customer service is great and the website is easy to use. They're always making improvements to the user experience which I really appreciate. Plus they are a B Corp. and are committed to sustainable sourcing for their materials.

I do regular printing for my clients with Greenerprinter. They are always reliable and do amazing work. I especially love their booklet printing & we've done mailing projects for nonprofits that they do well. The work is always outstanding quality. If appreiciate that if there are any hang ups or delays they correct it and still deliver an amazing product. I truly appreciate Greenerprinter!

Classic greenwashing! Well at least there is some humility in saying Greener I guess. I used this shop a few times for some business printing. First few jobs, things went well. Reasonable prices and the work was delivered as expected. After they moved from their Berkeley address, I hired them to print some company brochures for my business. When they delivered the brochures, they had shrink wrapped them with plastic.
I did not understand why that was necessary and furthermore, the brochures had become bent on one side from the tight assembly. Naturally, I was not happy with this because I did not ask for any unnecessary packaging and well, the brand new brochures where bent! I brought this up to them and proposed they do a reprint without any wrapping and I also proposed to buy the less than perfect brochures at a reduced cost to avoid waste for all parties.
All hell broke loose then as they started projecting that I was some kind of opportunist? That seemed weird and unnecessarily offensive! My situation did not get resolved, they never did the reprint and I now have less than perfect brochures but I never returned again for a printing job there. I mean how does this print shop get credit for somehow being green?
All printers that I know have recycled paper options for their customers. Does GreenerPrinter use less toxic chemicals or something? Just seems like more of a business tactic rather than an authentic concern for the environment. I am a building designer and contractor with more than a couple of decades pursuing green techniques and approaches. In our business, there are vast opportunities for doing work that keeps the environment in mind but a commercial print shop claiming they are green seems far-fetched. Anyhow, I should be a bit forgiving because greener is greener but still it does not seem fair to other like businesses that their competition uses green-washing tactics. Anyhow, I hope they improve their attitude towards business and their customers and fulfill their greener intentions.
