United KingdomTwo Sides seeks to be as inclusive as possible, encouraging organizations of all sizes to join in promoting responsible environmental practices throughout the Graphic Communications and Paper-based Packaging industry. To achieve this, annual membership fees for Commercial Members are calculated as a percentage of relevant annual North American revenue up to a maximum membership fee of $25,000 US per year for producers and merchants of print, paper and paper-based packaging, and $10,000 per year for printers and suppliers to the Graphic Communications and Paper-based Packaging industry. There is a minimum membership fee of $250 US for all commercial and allied organization members (if annual revenues of $10 million or less).
