About Advantage Laser Products...
Based in Atlanta, Georgia since 1987, Advantage Laser Products specializes in check printing supplies, including
MICR toner, blank check paper, laser printers and more. We provide high-quality products and exceptional customer service every day, and more than half of our 15 team members have been with the company for 10 years or more.
One of the most important things to note about Advantage Laser is our environmental consciousness is in our blood, and we recycle everything possible. In fact, remanufactured toner cartridges make up one third of our business. We remanufacture about 25,000 cartridges a year, and we even reuse the foam endcaps on our toner cartridges whenever possible.
Years ago, our MICR toner supply center joined the EPA WasteWise program, which helps businesses apply sustainable management practices to reduce waste. We also instituted a program called "The Box", which offers our customers a way to recycle more than just their toner cartridges. Our in-house recycling currently includes cardboard, office paper, plastic, aluminum, Styrofoam and steel, and we continue to examine our waste outflow to find new, potentially-reusable materials. Recently, we installed a
solar array
Our green initiatives are not only about being responsible, we also find that it saves on costs and allows us to keep our pricing competitive. Plus, our team tells us they enjoy working for a company that does the right thing in regards to the environment, the industry and our customers.
We're ready to offer you the excellent service and high-quality products you deserve. To learn more about our team, check out the
