G7 Certified

The G7 Method is a robust framework for calibrating and aligning print processes around consistent greys/tonality, which leads to better visual color consistency across technologies, substrates and vendors. 

When a print facility is “G7 Certified”, it means they have been audited and found to meet the highest standards in color management using G7 methodology. For company marketing departments, individual brand-owners and designers, and anyone producing printed materials, it’s a strong signal of quality and control in color reproduction.

At Allegra Plymouth, all equipment is calibrated and verified to meet the highest standards for gray balance and tonality, which produces color consistently across all devises, substrates and printing methods (including offset, digital and inkjet).

FSC Certified

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international, non-profit organization whose mission is to promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world’s forests. FSC certification is a way to verify that forest-based products (wood, paper, packaging, etc.) come from forests that meet the FSC’s rigorous standards.

Some of the key reasons FSC Certification is important:

• Environmental benefits: Certified forests are managed to maintain biodiversity, protect water resources, prevent deforestation and maintain forest health.
• Social benefits: FSC standards include respect for indigenous peoples’ rights, local communities, fair labor practices, and safe working conditions.
• Economic benefits: For companies, using FSC-certified material helps build consumer trust and can open access to markets that demand sustainably-sourced products. 
• Traceability: The certification includes chain-of-custody systems, meaning you can follow the material from the forest through processing, manufacturing and sale.

When desired by a customer, Allegra Plymouth can print the FSC logo on all their print materials. Displaying the FSC logo publicizes your support of a supply chain where the
