Elephant Dung Printing Paper

by Brian Yalung on Friday, January 9th, 2009

Pixxlz seems to be offering something new on the table as far as paper use is concerned. One of the important elements in running a printing press is the source of paper. Paper is normally made from trees but it looks like we are now seeing a new batch of paper that are no less made from elephant dung.

There are no toxic chemicals used in the paper-making process, only basic bonding agents such as alum and rosin, along with water soluble salt dyes for coloring. Free of bleach and acids, no alkaline solutions are introduced during manufacturing. These handmade papers are of an ideal pH value for photography preservation: perfect for Pixxlz’ new mini photo books.

  • I wonder how they think of stuff like this. I support anything that is recyclable, of course, but I never thought we can get this far.

    And to pay $2.75 for one of these folded cards is not a bad price at all.
  • It's crazy to think we're running poo through our printers :-)

    We offer more than cards on this stock. Just contact us and we can print anything. Business cards on poo has been very popular. It's great when you hand your card to someone, they comment on the paper, and you say "it's made with elephant poo". No fail every time the person will smell your business card.

    We're having fun with this product!

    Happy printing everyone!
  • Haha, that's a good one. Now to think of it, I am almost sure every person will try to smell the card, just to make sure :)
