ECO FRIENDLY

 

I are keen to try and make the stationery we design as eco-friendly as possible and this is how I do it:

 

PACKAGING

I use cardboard boxes to package up stationery, which are fully recyclable and made from recycled cardboard. They have no branding on so they can be reused. 

 

Stationery is normally wrapped up in tissue paper that is acid free. It is made from 99% recycled pulp fibres and approx 35% of the electricity used to make it is produced from renewable sources.​ If I use other packaging I try as much as I can to recycle packaging that has been sent to me.

​

CARD

The 3 most used cards I print onto are: Arco, Callisto and Tintoretto

​​​

​Arco
A smooth card that prints well. 

​

Callisto

A luxury, sandy feeling card, without an obvious texture when looked at. 

​

Tintoretto

A luxury card, with an obvious texture to look at and feel.

​

PRINTING​

The vast majority of printing is outsourced so that I can concentrate on designing, however I still strive for ways of making more eco friendly choices. Currently my invite printers recycle all their waste products from ink tins, plates, pallets, paper and plastic as well as using a green energy supplier. 

​

DESIGN

The electricity I use to fuel our computers comes from 100% renewable sources.
