Whether it’s design for branding, consultation, campaigns, print, web, signage or exhibitions, sustainability is always in mind. It’s not a ‘buzz word’ to us and we haven’t retro-fitted it onto our list of services. It’s been the foundation of our studio from the start and we’re always pushing to do better."

9. Studio MIKMIK (Shipley, West Yorkshire)


  • green studio
  • Print and the environment

    Studio MIKMIK loves print, but we also love trees, the environment and all things green and growing.

    We've always believed that by sourcing high quality recycled paper and board and by selecting like-minded print houses that the environmental impact of a print project could be vastly reduced without impacting on quality.

    There are many methods and means to reducing the impact of a print project. Some affect budget and some don't. By discussing options and by working together we can help to make your project as earth friendly as possible.
