Most companies we meet do their printing in one location (in bulk) and manually ship the materials as needed to sales offices and events. This generates significant transportation mileage and a big carbon footprint. It's also time-consuming and runs the risk of logistical delays due to customs issues.

Gelato provides a cloud-based print platform that prints locally-- near your final destination. The materials travel fewer miles, providing a reduction in carbon emissions and journey time. For a quick explanation, watch our video: https://www.gelato.com/en-US/video/gelato-how-it-works/
