FSC Certified Promotional Products

359 products · minimums from 50 · 5–12 business days

The Forest Stewardship Council certifies that wood and paper are traceable through a documented chain of custody back to responsibly managed forest. It is the oldest and best-established certification in this catalogue, and unusually for an environmental claim you can verify it yourself: the code on the product is checkable against the FSC public database.

Three labels, meaning different things. FSC 100% — entirely from certified forest. FSC Recycled — entirely reclaimed fibre. FSC Mix — a controlled blend of certified, recycled and verified non-controversial sources. Mix is the most common and is a real claim, but it is not the same as 100%, and a supplier who quotes "FSC certified" without saying which is being imprecise.

Minimum around 50 pieces, production 5–12 business days. Rush production is available on many items in this range.

Frequently asked questions

What does the FSC label guarantee?
That the wood or paper is traceable through certified handling back to a forest managed to FSC's environmental and social standards. It covers sourcing and chain of custody rather than manufacturing emissions or transport.
Is FSC Mix as good as FSC 100%?
It is weaker but still meaningful. Mix blends certified, recycled and controlled-source material under audited rules that exclude illegal and high-conservation-value logging. If the claim is going into a report, name which label applies.
