Our Valued Partners in Sustainability: Monadnock Paper Mills & Case Paper

We're honored to join forces with esteemed partners, Monadnock Paper Mills and Case Paper, united in our shared commitment to sustainability. Monadnock Paper Mills exemplifies environmental stewardship through their certified ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, Forest Stewardship Council certification, and carbon-neutral practices. Recognized by leading organizations, they are dedicated to crafting solutions for a sustainable world. Our collaboration with Monadnock amplifies our mutual mission of creating positive change and making a meaningful impact on our community and environment.

Complementing our journey, Case Paper plays a crucial role in our sustainable initiatives. Their dedication to eco-friendly practices and contributions to our 2024 Sustainable Calendar showcase a shared vision for a greener future. Together with both partners, we are not only producing a sustainable calendar but fostering a collective commitment to environmental responsibility and making strides towards a more sustainable world.

2024 Calendar Production

At SunDance, we take pride in producing a calendar that not only keeps you organized but also reflects our dedication to sustainability. From the cover design to the choice of materials, every aspect of our 2024 calendar has been carefully crafted to inspire and promote a greener future. As part of our 2024 Sustainable Green Print (SGP) Initiatives, this calendar embodies our commitment to environmental responsibility.

One of the unique features of our calendar is its focus on sustainable practices throughout the year. Each quarter highlights a different aspect of sustainability: reduce, reuse, repair, and recycle. We wanted to create a calendar that not only promotes sustainable living but also provides practical tips and tricks for individuals to incorporate into their daily lives. By combining our sustainable efforts with informative content, we aim to inspire others to join us in preserving our planet for future generations.

In line with our dedication to sustainability, we made sure that the entire calendar is fully recyclable. We understand the importance of minimizing waste, so we selected materials that can be recycled with ease. The wire-O binding, for instance, uses a black coil made with recyclable metals, ensuring that even the smallest components of our calendar can be repurposed responsibly.

Calendar Cover

The cover of our 2024 calendar is a testament to both aesthetics and sustainability. We wanted to create a visually striking design that grabs attention, while still upholding our commitment to eco-friendly practices. To achieve this, we printed the cover on Monadnock's Envi PC 100 Performance Board C1S 16pt, a high-quality paper known for its environmental attributes. This paper maintains a vibrant and captivating print.

In order to make the cover more visually appealing, we decided to incorporate a die-cut shape that cleverly combines our company logo with the universal recycling symbol. This not only highlights our commitment to being environmentally conscious, but also adds an eye-catching element to the calendar's design.

To ensure a smooth and seamless experience for users as they flip through the pages of the calendar, we opted for a French folded cover. This technique involves folding the paper in a way that creates a neat and tidy edge, resulting in a polished and professional look. It also makes the cover easier to open, as there are no bulky or awkward creases to contend with. Overall, we believe that these design choices have resulted in a calendar that not only looks great, but is also functional and user-friendly.

Calendar Text Pages

Our calendar's text pages are designed to be both functional and visually appealing. To achieve this balance, we selected Monadnock's Astrolite PC 100 Smooth #100 Text to print our inside pages on. This choice not only ensures a crisp and professional feel but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability.

The text pages are thoughtfully laid out to provide everything you need for efficient planning. Each month includes a spacious calendar layout, allowing you to jot down important dates and reminders. Additionally, we have designated sections for weekly planning, providing ample space to organize your daily schedule and stay on track.

Recognizing the importance of goal setting, we have incorporated quarterly challenges, suggestions for sustainable living, and a weekly habit tracker. This encourages users of our calendar to become more conscious of their daily habits and adopt environmentally friendly practices. Lastly, we have included blank areas for additional notes, ensuring that your calendar becomes a personalized tool for both productivity and inspiration.
