Vale Press are pleased to confirm that we have maintained our status as a “Certified Carbon Balanced Printer” with the World Land Trust.

Between the 1^st August 2024 and 31^st July 2025, Vale Press has offset the equivalent of 52.17 Tonnes of CO2 – in doing so, Vale Press has enabled the World Land Trust to protect and restore 9,645m2 of threatened tropical habitat.

The World Land Trust is an international conservation charity that works to protect biologically significant habitats that are threatened, in maintaining such habitats, they help to offset carbon emissions, which is vital work given the effects that climate change is beginning to have worldwide. They work on these restoration projects all around the world, in countries such as Vietnam, Mexico, Ecuador and Guatemala.

The World Land Trust’s website states that “when customers choose to use Carbon Balanced Paper, printed by a Carbon Balanced Printer, they can be confident in knowing they are choosing one of the most sustainable print solutions available”.

Vale Press is the only printer in Gloucestershire or Worcestershire to have this certificate, so when you print with us, you can be sure you are supporting the most environmentally sustainable printer you can.

Vale Press were pleased to be the printing partner for the Chipping Campden Open Gardens Weekend, which was held on Saturday, 21^st and Sunday, 22^nd June 2025.

The event opened up the historic and beautiful gardens all around Chipping Campden for visitors to admire.

Some of these gardens, “characterised by geometric designs and manicured hedges, showcase the town’s historic grandeur,” and remain a “cherished part of the town’s heritage, attracting visitors from near and far”.

Throughout the weekend, over £8,000 was raised for three really worthwhile, local charities: Campden Home Nursing, Campden Edge and Campden Information Centre

Vale Press printed the tickets, programmes and postcards for this event at no charge, helping to make such a wonderful event possible.

Thank you to Stephen Turner from the Open Gardens for his kind words:

“Vale Press is a true Cotswolds gem – a family-run printing group that’s been serving our community for over forty years with the finest quality, eco-friendly printing solutions. They really do print, package and deliver everything!

Vale Press’s support means every pound saved on printing is another pound for our charities.

We’re so lucky to have businesses like Vale Press in our community. Thank you.”

Vale Press are pleased to have sponsored the Broadway Arts Festival.

Broadway is roughly a mile or so from our factory in Willersey and we’re proud to have so many clients amongst it’s residents and business base and to print for many of the high-quality art galleries on Broadway’s High Street.

Vale Press undertook the printing for the 2025 Programme of the biennial Broadway Arts Festival, which took place this year between the 6^th and 15^th of June, with well over 50 events listed. These events ranged from Argentine Tango lessons and butterfly wire sculpting workshops to the Great Broadway Paint-Off, which saw contestants, both amateurs and professionals, compete to paint the best painting of Broadway throughout the course of a day. 

Whilst the festival has its roots in the village of Broadway, it continues to earn an enviable national reputation.

A bit like Vale Press!

Last summer we commissioned our long-standing friend and print customer (and newly-retired) Gary Beard to paint our “Field of Life”.

The meadow was bounteous with bright-yellow and very happy-looking buttercups.

A sight worth capturing.

There was, though, another reason for wishing to capture the image.

In the upper part of the field (just below the wooded area in the image above) we had over the previous two winters planted 3,000 trees including the almost complete re-planting of two hedgerows.

As these trees grow the landscape and our vista will, of course, change,

In years to come, we and future generations will be able to compare “then-and-now” landscapes as the field evolves as a habitat to more birds and wildlife with an increasing bio-diversity.
