What is FSC?

FSC is a certification system that provides internationally recognized standard-setting, trademark assurance and accreditation services to companies, organizations, and communities interested in responsible forestry.

FSC Label Usage.

Beginning March of 2010 new versions of the FSC label are available. These new designs will be mandatory beginning in January 2011.

To the right are some of the rules that apply to FSC logo usage and examples of how the label may appear.

If you would like to participate in FSC standards and use environmentally responsible papers on your next project, or have any questions, please contact your customer service representative.

Horizontal Example

  • Positive Green is the Standard Preferred color. Negative green and black and white (positive or negative) may be used as an alternative. The standard green color of the label shall not be altered.
  • A border around the label shall always be used, unless the surrounding color is different to the label background. Where the label is defined by color only, the background must always have rounded corners as for the label with a line border.
  • If the print process uses a limited number of colors, the FSC label can appear transparent on a solid color non patterned background, provided that the contrast allows legibility. In this case the content of the label and the border shall appear only in black or white. The use of a transparent background shall be approved the the certification body prior to production.

There is a minimum height and width for FSC logos. In the event there is very limited space on the product for the FSC logo, there is a "Mini" logo available for use.
