sweatshop free, organic hemp paper products

Rawganique hemp, flax and cotton blend. They sell out quickly.
It’s totally amazing to me and frustrating at the same time that I cannot find a continuous resource of hemp paper products! The material is lovely, sustainable, organic, feels yummy to the touch, is tree free and totally eco-chic. Rawganique is out of British Columbia and has gorgeous hemp paper products. They simply cannot keep them in stock.
Rawganique inspiration books, eco-hemp delicious.
So my big thing right now is trying to find hemp business card stock for my new business cards! Hello out there eco-world…..I want hemp and environmentally friendly inks like soy and/or vegetable based. I know hemp is limited….click here for more details on hemp… but….I’m on a mission with this and I’ll share with you what I’ve found so far….

I just found these guys right here locally in Portland! So happy. They are eco-conscious and print on recycled paper with soy based inks. They might be able to get me hemp. I’ll keep you posted.

Cheryl - glad you mentioned Pinball Printing! Not sure if you know, but we’ve been working with them for all our printing over the last few weeks, and we love them. The recycled content and soy-based inks aren’t just options or afterthoughts - they’re the normal everyday papers and inks they use and promote.
The staff is also great - when you work with them, you’re really working directly with good people from the neighborhood who are knowledgeable pros, and love what they do!
