Where Greenerprinter publishes no figure, the table says so instead of guessing.
Green plus range
Six things to weigh past the recycled sheet
60+ paper stocks, including recycled
Greenerprinter keeps its paper list eco-first. 4OVER4.COM lists 60+ paper types, with linen, pearl, kraft and recycled stocks among them.
A far bigger product range
Business cards, postcards, brochures, banners, stickers, labels, booklets, eco-friendly boxes and door hangers, from one FSC certified printer instead of several vendors.
Reliability and track record
Printing in Queens since 1999, with G7 color profiling and multi-day color accuracy tests on the presses, so a recycled reorder matches the first run.
Heavy recycled kraft
Kraft runs at 18, 32, 48, 64 and 80pt, so a recycled card can still feel heavy in the hand.
Free design tools
10,000+ design templates and the free Canvs online designer let you lay out a kraft card or an eco box without buying design software.
Rewards and guarantees
Greenerprinter lists no free cards or coins. New customers here get 200 free business cards, and coins build on each order.
Weight and fiber
From 13pt cards to 80pt recycled kraft
Greenerprinter sells the origin of the paper, and your client's hand judges its weight. Business card stocks start at 13pt, and the kraft comes in five weights of recycled fiber.
Pricing
Every base price includes a free file check, so a bad file is caught before it wastes a run.
Quality
Experts check every artwork against a 30-point checklist before it reaches a press.
Support
Account managers on 718-932-2700, by phone or SMS, who pick up when a recycled stock question comes in.
Stocks and range
Recycled stocks inside a 1,000 product catalog
Paper and finish selection
Recycled and kraft stocks, biodegradable kraft and recyclable Metallic Pearl sit in the paper list, with spot UV, soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, painted edges and raised ink on the products that take them.
Product range
A recycled card run, a vinyl banner and a set of eco-friendly boxes can sit on one order, checked on one proof.

Eco printing, compared
Greenerprinter's eco focus against a full catalog
Greenerprinter has printed eco-first since about 2008. 4OVER4.COM prints recycled and kraft stocks inside a much larger catalog, and runs waterless presses as an FSC certified printer.
What eco buyers want beyond the recycled sheet
Greenerprinter built its name on sustainable printing. A buyer who needs more than eco stationery wants recycled paper plus range, and 4OVER4.COM keeps recycled and kraft stocks next to banners, labels and boxes.
New customers can test the print with free business cards before a larger order, and blank templates give the correct size and bleed for every product.
Eco values with a bigger catalog
Greenerprinter focuses almost entirely on eco options. 4OVER4.COM keeps those options and adds specialty finishes, same-day printing on select products and a written price match.
The eco side is on paper: FSC certification (#C013635), waterless printing and low-VOC soy inks.
How pricing compares to Greenerprinter
4OVER4.COM business cards start as low as $0.04 per card at higher quantities, and postcards and flyers follow the same rule: the bigger the run, the lower the price per piece.
Find a lower price from a competitor for the same specs and the written price match matches it and beats it by 10%.
Print quality that holds up
The presses run to one calibrated CMYK profile from job to job, and the paper list covers 32pt cardstock, soft-touch lamination, Classic Linen and kraft, so an eco card does not have to look plain.
Tools and green products beyond the card
Recycled kraft business cards and eco-friendly boxes sit in the same catalog as the cards and banners, and the green printing page lists the papers, inks and processes behind them.
Who 4OVER4.COM is the right alternative for
If your brand needs more than eco-friendly business cards, the catalog adds linen, pearl and ultra-thick stocks and specialty finishes on top of recycled kraft. Agencies running print for several clients keep every product under one account. Nonprofits can email support@4over4.com for curated account management.
The green case and the rest, briefly
The plant reports 70% less waste and about 20,000 gallons of water saved a month from waterless printing. On the account side, every order earns loyalty coins.
The verdict
Greenerprinter fits a buyer whose whole order sits in its eco catalog. 4OVER4.COM keeps the recycled kraft and FSC certified printing and adds banners, boxes, foil and same-day shipping.
The green math
What actually makes a print order greener
Most of the environmental cost of a printed piece is decided before anyone turns on a press. Four choices carry the weight.
- The stock. Recycled and kraft sheets carry a lower footprint than a bright coated sheet of the same weight.
- The coating. An uncoated sheet is easier to recycle at the end of its life than a laminated one.
- The run size. Ordering once in the right quantity beats three top up runs, because every setup carries its own waste.
- The proof. A reprint is the most wasteful outcome there is, so the file check that catches a bad file is also the greenest step in the job.
At 4OVER4.COM every order runs through a pre-press quality check with a free online proof before anything goes to press.
On the sheet
Designing for recycled and kraft stock
Recycled and kraft sheets behave differently from a bright white coated sheet, and a design that ignores that comes back looking dull rather than natural. The 100% Recycled Kraft carries at least 30% post-consumer fiber. Uncoated fibers absorb ink, so saturated colors sit a shade softer and fine detail spreads a little. Kraft puts a warm brown base under everything, which pulls blues toward gray and makes light tints vanish.
Design with it rather than against it. Use heavier type and simple shapes instead of hairlines, build blacks with depth rather than a single flat ink, and let the paper color be part of the palette instead of something to cover. Foil and white ink sit well on kraft when one bright element is needed. Order free samples of the stock you are weighing, because a recycled sheet is the one paper that has to be judged with your fingers.

Eco printing questions
Common Questions
Eleven answers for eco buyers, from whether Greenerprinter is legit and what makes a printer green to recycled and kraft stocks, finishes and shipping. Browse every printing question on our FAQs hub.
Is Greener printer legit?
Yes. Greenerprinter is a real printer known for sustainable printing. The useful question for a buyer is not whether a shop exists but what it puts in writing, so check the guarantees, whether a proof is included in the base price and how recent the reviews are. 4OVER4.COM publishes five written guarantees covering quality, price match, on time every time, customer service and ultimate satisfaction.
What is a green printer?
A green printer is one that cuts the environmental cost of a job at every step it controls. In practice that means recycled and responsibly sourced paper, careful ink and waste handling in the plant, and enough quality control that jobs do not come back for a reprint. The label is only as good as the specifics behind it. At 4OVER4.COM those specifics are FSC certified paper, waterless presses and soy inks.
What is the most environmentally friendly printer?
No single shop holds that title, because the footprint depends on the paper you pick, the size of the run and how far the boxes travel. Judge it on choices you can verify rather than a badge on a homepage. Ask which recycled stocks are available, whether a proof is included so a reprint is unlikely, and whether one printer can cover the rest of the order so shipments are not split across vendors.
What is the most eco-friendly printing method?
On short runs digital printing is usually the lighter choice, because there are no plates and very little makeready waste. On long runs offset wins per piece once the setup is spread across thousands of sheets. The bigger lever is almost always the paper rather than the press, so the stock you pick weighs more than the method.
Does 4OVER4.COM offer eco-friendly paper like Greenerprinter?
Yes. Recycled and kraft stocks run across business cards, postcards and other marketing materials, inside 60+ paper types, and the green printing page explains the process side.
How does 4OVER4.COM pricing compare to Greenerprinter?
Each product page shows its own price ladder, and 50 standard postcards start at $16.48. If Greenerprinter quotes less for the same specs and turnaround, send that quote in for the price match.
What products can I order as a Greenerprinter alternative?
Business cards, postcards, flyers, brochures, banners, stickers, labels, booklets, door hangers and eco-friendly boxes, all on one account.
What specialty finishes does 4OVER4.COM offer?
Spot UV, blind spot UV, raised spot UV, soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, embossing and painted edges, each on the products that take it. On a green order, an uncoated or kraft sheet with one foil detail stays easier to recycle than a fully laminated card.
How fast does 4OVER4.COM ship orders?
82% of orders ship early, and orders placed by 12pm ET on same-day products ship that day from Queens. Turnaround for everything else depends on the product and is shown before checkout.
Is 4OVER4.COM a good fit if I am comparing other printers too?
Yes. The printer comparisons put dozens of online printers through the same table as Greenerprinter, and banner-heavy buyers have a separate BannerBuzz comparison.
Does 4OVER4.COM have a satisfaction guarantee?
Yes. Every order is backed by five guarantees: Quality, Price Match, On Time Every Time, Customer Service, and Ultimate Satisfaction. The same five cover a recycled kraft run and a standard card order alike, and the satisfaction guarantee is money back.
