Doing our bit
In the grand scheme of things, let’s be honest, we make gloriously unnecessary stuff. That’s exactly why it matters to us that we keep our impact low and our conscience clean.
Every decision we’ve made is about doing better: cutting waste, skipping plastic, and choosing smarter materials that don’t trash the planet. We’re not here to greenwash, just to make good things in a good way. And when you shop with us, you’re part of that too.
We’ve thought hard about every part of the product, from FSC® certified card stock to compostable sleeves. Even our web hosting is powered by 100% renewable energy, thanks to our friends at Krystal.
Cards
We use a premium uncoated board that prints like a dream and feels great to hold. It’s thick, smooth, and makes bold colours sing. No plastic here – just fully recyclable, responsibly sourced, planet-friendly card.
FSC® certified
Recyclable
Biodegradable
Sustainably sourced
Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF)
Unlaminated (and proud of it)
Why no gloss, foil, or lamination?
We keep things raw and real – no gloss, no foil, no lamination, ever. Why? Shiny finishes can look fancy, but they’re usually plastic-based and make recycling a nightmare. Our cards have a kind of rough-and-ready feel. That’s not to say they don’t look and feel amazing – they really do, thanks to the extremely high-quality card stock we use. The best part? The cards are fully recyclable. That means you don’t have to feel guilty about buying them, and we don’t have to feel guilty about selling them. Result.
Envelopes
We use premium coloured envelopes made from FSC® certified eucalyptus paper – smooth, strong, and sustainably sourced. They’re fully recyclable and chosen for their bold look and quality feel, without the plastic or pointless extras.
FSC® certified
Recyclable
Sustainably sourced
Made from eucalyptus pulp
Compostable Sleeves
Our cards need protection, but plastic sleeves are totally off the table. We use PLA, a smart material made from renewable plant starch, not plastic. It looks similar, but behaves very differently. These sleeves compost cleanly, breaking down into CO2, water, and biomass – nothing nasty.
Made from vegetable starch (usually corn)
Certified compostable (OK Biobased & EN13432)
Breaks down in home or industrial composting
Not waterproof – don’t use as an umbrella
- Made in the UK
A quick note on the seal strip:
The peel-off sealing strip is the same type used on traditional plastic bags, which is far from ideal. Our supplier’s working on a fully biodegradable version, and we’re keeping our eyes peeled for better options until that happens.
