Santa Cruz, California, USA – Spin66 Studio, a marketing communications and design agency whose core focus is raising business brand awareness and to strengthen client market positioning, has selected a local and long term Santa Cruz print house, Sentinel Printers, as the printer of choice and partner for their internal and client print and packaging productions.

Over the past three years, Spin66 Studio has been working with their clients to steer their print productions towards greener paths. Part of their goal is to help not only reduce the carbon footprint but illustrate how they can attain the rich designs they desire along with high end packaging alternatives that seriously help in putting them towards the path of supporting the people, planet and profitability for all, as we all win when companies are environmentally responsible.

Spin66 Studio has found that some of the challenges for large companies have been in justifying the cost benefit, as well as the “high end” look they can get with a not so environmentally friendly alternative.

Spin66 Studio and Sentinel Printers have come together based on a shared belief that green production practice can be not only affordable but esthetically competitive with the environmentally unfriendly alternative. Additionally, Spin66 Studio is looking to work with companies in reporting the cost benefit of utilizing green processes.

As a huge bonus to this entire project the client also arranged to put forth 1% of all their sales to the non-profit – 1% for the Planet™.
