These people-focused printing services mostly fit into two camps. The first, is that of more broad organizations or umbrella social enterprises that have little, smaller social enterprises within its model in a number of different industries in order to support its missions, visions and goals. These include Bina Swadaya, which is a member-driven organization that creates "self-help" groups in order to spawn investments, as well as BRAC, an organization that works around the world through a grassroots idea.
The second category is more easily identifiable people-focused printing services, that is, office supplies or t-shirt printing services are part of the product itself, and the social and/or environmental mission becomes secondary, at least in the way that the business markets itself through promotional copy.
