I realize this sounds nutty or as if I have nothing better to do, trust me, I have a very hectic schedule so the thought of losing myself in a Christmas card catalog is heavenly. I look forward to seeing the new designs that are introduced each year and wonder how the designers come up with them!&nbsp; One of my responsibilities is to order the Christmas cards for the company but first I have to select a few designs, order samples and present them to our executive team. Although the task seems simple, there are many things to consider. I first get a budget and the number of cards to be ordered so when I present the selection to the team I will have all of my facts. There are several things that are constant year after year like quality and the sentiment on the front of the card. For us it is Season\u2019s Greetings or Happy Holidays so one design can be sent to all of our clients.<\/p>\n<p>This year I noticed many of the cards sold are made from 30% post consumer waste recycled paper which is a plus for our company. I wasn\u2019t totally sure what 30% post consumer waste meant so I Googled it and according to Wikipedia:<\/p>\n<p><em>Post-consumer<\/em> waste is material discarded after consumer use, such as old corrugated containers (OCC), old magazines, old newspapers (ONP), office paper, old telephone directories, and residential mixed paper (RMP).<\/p>\n<p>To think that the papers I recycle at home become recycled paper Christmas cards is pretty cool!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I love when it comes time to choose Christmas cards I really cannot want until the catalogs start&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[50,412],"class_list":{"0":"post-3878","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-personalized-christmas-cards","7":"tag-christmas-cards","8":"tag-recycled-paper-christmas-cards","9":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
