Safe Environment
We Are Dedicated To Safe Environment
WHY THE ENVIRONMENT IS IMPORTANT TO GEORGE MERCHANT PRINTERS

Importance Of The Environment
We have been aware for many years the importance of the environment. The impact careless misuse of plastic bags are impacting on our cities and towns. It’s universally accepted that plastic bags blowing about, stuck in trees, hedgerows and gardens are not a pretty sight. That’s why we are 100% dedicated to only producing biodegradable bags and boxes.
Self-destructive print products
Consequently, our plastic bags have an ingredient that means they self-destruct after a few months. They break up into tiny pieces made of simple molecules that bugs and fungi can happily munch up. Our sales and manufacturing team have a vast amount of experience in the printing and supplying of bags for over 40 years. We can help provide you with the correct bag and design to promote your business and provide a professional and efficient service. Merchant Printers are happy to discuss any concerns you may have regarding our bags and the environment.
