The environmental accolade comes on the back of the opening of the company's new press hall, which took place earlier this year.

According to Dev Brahmachari, sales and marketing director, the certification is a positive step for the business.

He said: "We are delighted to be able to provide our customers with the Chain of Custody Certification for display and litho packaging.  

"PEFC and FSC are forest management schemes that ensure fibre comes from responsibly managed forests."

In addition to achieving FSC and PEFC Chain of Custody in early 2010, CRP has since invested in a new £3.5m KBA Rapida 162a large-format six-colour press, along with a new design studio which acts as a pre-press hub for the group and a dedicated CTP suite complete with Kodak platesetters.

The new machine serves the 175-staff company's blue chip clients, which include Procter & Gamble, Nestlé and Unilever. The £20m-turnover company specified the press with a range of scanning and energy-efficient scanning technologies.
