Green Business
Certified.
Our contributions help make Los Angeles a more sustainable community. Indie Printing is recognized by local and state environmental programs for going beyond compliance — not just meeting regulations, but setting our own.
What certification means here.
We're located in DTLA's University Business Park District as an eco-friendly boutique print shop, serving a wide range of industries. We can print a single piece to thousands of pieces for most of our products with same-day or next-day turnaround — all while holding ourselves to a sustainable business standard that goes beyond industry compliance.
Our Green Business credentials come from the tangible practices we run every day:
- Reclaimed-material buildout — our headquarters was renovated using reclaimed and sustainable building materials.
- Hemp, cotton, and sugarcane papers — tree-free stocks stocked in-house, alongside FSC-certified conventional papers.
- Soy-based offset inks and dry-toner digital — VOC levels stay below the regulated standard.
- Waterless CTP plate-making — no chemistry, no film, no contaminated water.
- Hybrid delivery fleet — every local delivery runs on a hybrid vehicle.
- Employee metro program — we cover 50% of public-transit costs for staff who commute via LA Metro.
- Biodegradable banner material for large-format work — decomposes 50× faster than standard vinyl.
- Post-consumer paper recycling — paper scrap from job tiling goes to recycling facilities to return to market as post-consumer stocks.
We partner with organizations aligned with these practices, and we keep evolving: a consultant is currently helping us overhaul lighting and electricity for further reductions.
