Letterpress Invitations By Ajalon Printing is a Green Vendor

Sustainableâ€¦Green...Environmental These are words that are used a lot today when talking about conducting business. Here at Ajalon Printing& Design they are not just â€œcatchwordsâ€ we recently started using. For over twenty years, we have always sought to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Here are some of the things we do to reduce our environmental impact: Waste Paper - Twenty years ago it was difficult to find somebody who would pick up our paper to be recycled. We had to pre-sort it into coated and uncoated. Prior to this, the paper had been going into a landfill. Now, our waste paper is collected in large bins by a recycling company. Plates/Film/Photo Chemistry â€“ For many years, we have been recycling metal printing plates (they are aluminum), photo chemistry and film (they contain silver). This makes economic sense as well. Waste Ink - We have collected our left over ink over the years and have disposed of it according to local and federal guidelines. I believe it is incinerated in special facilities that capture the heat to use as energy and purify the smoke of harmful chemicals. Soy-Oil Ink - We have been using soy oil inks since they were first introduced over 15 years ago. We are always on the look out for better products to clean and leave our environment better off. Packing Material - We reuse packing material that we receive, partly because it is cheaper to save it and reuse it, than to go out a buy it when we need it. When it starts collecting around here, I go crazy with boxes of it sitting around, so we then give it to neighboring businesses so they can use it. Surplus Paper & Materials - For years we have cooperated with a local organization that provides surplus materials to schools and other businesses. It is gratifying to see teachers getting excited about paper that they can use in the classroom that would otherwise just be recycled. Administrative/Customer Service - We have seen the transition from when we had to send proofs back and forth physically (by mail or with cars being involved), to using the fax machine when it came out. Today most all of our communication with customers is conducted by email, and with no paper copies. We also endeavor to place orders with vendors electronically. Tree-Free & Recycled Paper - In the letterpress aspect of our printing we use tree-free paper that is 100% cotton. And, if clients chose to use other alternative fiber material, such as bamboo, kenaf, or agriculture waste fibers, we have ready sources to obtain them. Much of the paper we order for our customers is either FSC certified or has post-consumer recycled fiber. So for us here at Ajalon Printing being environmentally friendly and saving the resources of our planet is not the latest business trend, but a way of life to which we have always been committed. Heck, I even have boxes of my dogâ€™s hair that I have collected over the years when I groomed him. I hope to have it spun into yarn some day. Hopefully it wonâ€™t smell like him.

Pantone’s Fall 2012 Color Report: Honey Gold 2012-05-25

Pantone’s Fall 2012 Color Report: Honey Gold Photo

Fabulous New Colors for Fall

We love Pantone over here at Invitations by Ajalon! It is our go-to color guide when designing new wedding invitation designs, and especially when we are customizing our existing designs to match our couples’ wedding color schemes!

I love the next color within the Fall 2012 Pantone Fashion Color Report! Honey Gold is so versatile, it is ridiculous.

Pantone’s Fall 2012 Color Report: Honey Gold Photo Whether you are the next royal couple or want to through the rustic party that everyone will remember, Honey Gold is a go-to color for Fall wedding celebrations!

Create a formal color scheme by pairing Honey Gold with greys or black. Or create a cheerful color scheme by pairing with bright pinks, like Pink Flambe—another color within the forecast. No matter what the tone of your wedding, Honey Gold is sure to make a statement.

New Wedding Invitation Design: Driftwood 2012-05-20

New Wedding Invitation Design: Driftwood Photo

Elegant New Wedding Invite Design for 2012

One of my favorite designs of our new wedding invitations is definitely Driftwood!

I love the look of a classic monogram, and the blind impressed ampersand is one of the classiest accents I have seen in awhile.

If you have been searching for a luxurious wedding invitation design perfect for your big day, Driftwood might be it!

Customize ink colors, font choices, and more to match the tone of your upcoming big day. If you have a specific color scheme in mind, feel free to add a second (or third!) ink color to your invitation wording.

Orchid Wedding Invitations for Fall Weddings 2012-05-21

Orchid Wedding Invitations for Fall Weddings Photo

Fresh Flora for Fall Wedding Invitations

While I personally think our Orchid and Oahu designs are the perfect invitations for any season, the right ink color choices will seriously “wow” the guests of your fall wedding ceremony!

Oahu looks stunning printed in orange ink on ecru, 100% cotton paper.

While Orchid looks rustic and chic with brown and sage ink colors printed on ecru, 100% cotton paper.

Orchid looks equally awesome in other ink and paper colors as well!

Do you love orchids? I think they might be the perfect motif for a fall wedding.

Pantone’s Fall 2012 Color Report: Bright Chartreuse Photo

Pantone’s Fabulous New Colors for Fall

We love Pantone over here at Invitations by Ajalon! It is our go-to color guide when designing new wedding invitation designs, and especially when we are customizing our existing designs to match our couples’ wedding color schemes!

Pantone’s Fall 2012 Fashion Color Report contains more bright hues than neutrals. Yesterday we took a look at the deep and dark French Roast, while today we’re going to get a closer look at Bright Chartreuse!

Pantone’s Fall 2012 Color Report: Bright Chartreuse Photo Bright Chartreuse will be an ideal color choice as summer fades out and Fall creeps in with it’s warm days and cool nights. I personally think this color is perfect for any season! There is not a doubt in my mind that it will rock Fall 2012 hard.

Like French Roast, Bright Chartreuse is also great paired with other colors (especially those within the Color Report!). Use Bright Chartreuse as the accent color for you wedding color scheme for a seriously chic fall celebration.
