Recently, Calitho was asked to create an informational stand for the Hawaiian Banyan trees. We are honored to be entrusted with such an important project.

The Hawaiian Banyan tree, scientifically known as Ficus Microcarpa, holds a significant place in Hawaiian culture as well as the island’s ecosystem. Locally it is “Pipal” or “Pepel,” for centuries the Banyan tree has been more than just a botanical wonder. It is a symbol of cultural reverence that provides shelter and shade.

One of the most notable features of the Hawaiian Banyan tree is its aerial roots that descend from its branches. The roots and branches are strikingly beautiful. It is no surprise the Banyan Trees have such spiritual and cultural significance. In Hawaiian folklore, these branches connect the earthly realm with the divine, serving as conduits for ancestral spirits. It’s not uncommon to find offerings or leis adorning the roots of these trees as a gesture of respect and homage to the spiritual world.

Additionally, the Hawaiian Banyan tree provides valuable shade in the tropical climate, offering respite from the scorching sun. This shade is a favorite gathering spot for communities, where people come together for picnics, storytelling, and cultural events. Its extensive canopy also makes it a vital habitat for numerous native birds and insects, contributing to the preservation of Hawaii’s unique biodiversity.

Its significance in Hawaiian culture and ecosystems continues to be cherished and celebrated by the people of the islands.

Furthermore, the leaves of the Hawaiian Banyan tree are often in traditional Hawaiian medicine and as ingredients in various cultural practices. The medicinal properties of the leaves have a long lineage of generational use. This is just one way these trees are a part of Hawaiian cultural heritage.

Calitho takes pride in crafting unique packaging solutions that go beyond conventional designs. Our commitment to creativity and precision shines through in our recent project, the Banya Tree information stand. This remarkable piece exemplifies the dedication and care we invest in our work. The stand seamlessly blends functionality and aesthetics, showcasing our ability to transform ideas into tangible, eye-catching packaging. At Calitho, we don’t just create packaging; we craft memorable experiences that reflect the essence of your brand.

A women-owned business means that the majority of the company is owned by a woman or women. Women-owned businesses have become increasingly prevalent across the board.

In the last 20 years, there has been over a 100% increase in women-owned businesses!

Calitho is proud to contribute to this increase. We want to communicate to our clients not just about our services and capabilities, but our values and goals. Just as we seek standards for our sustainable practices, we want diversity in our management team.

Transparency between client and company has become more and more important. When looking for a business partnership, compatibility leads to better success. Understanding the variety of printing services is equally as valuable as knowing the team behind production. We provide a wide range of printing services such as offset, digital, large format, and packaging. But we also contribute to the diversity and inclusivity of women owned businesses. When looking for a printing company, you should inquire about their services, capabilities, and portfolio to meet your printing needs.

In California, as in many other regions of the United States, a business can be classified as women-owned based on certain criteria and certifications. The primary certification authority for women-owned businesses is the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council. There are also regional affiliates such as, the Women’s Business Enterprise Council – Pacific (WBEC-Pacific). For Calitho to be recognized by the WBEC in California, we have, and continue to meet, the following criteria: majority ownership, management and control of both day-to-day operations and overall management and be an independent business.

To pursue certification as a women-owned business in California, you would typically need to apply. This was done through the appropriate certification organization by providing documents to support our eligibility.
