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.
This page is what everything’s made from, and what to do with it afterwards.
Even the web hosting runs on 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 recyclable, responsibly sourced card.
FSC® certified
Recyclable
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.
Envelopes
120gsm coloured envelopes. Smooth, strong and bold.
No plastic, no windows, no pointless extras.

Sleeves
Cards need protecting in the post and on the shelf. Ours go in a clear polypropylene sleeve, the same material as a bread bag. It recycles.
We used to use a plant-based one. It cost five times as much, scratched if you looked at it, and was only compostable in an industrial facility, which in practice meant it went in the bin. This one actually gets recycled.
- Clear polypropylene (OPP)
- Recyclable with soft plastics
- Made in the UK
Where it goes: soft plastic recycling, same as bread bags and crisp packets. Most supermarkets collect it at the front of store. Kerbside collection for plastic film was due to start in March 2027, but the government has pushed that back to 2030, so for now it’s a trip to the supermarket, not your recycling bin. The peel-off seal strip is the same material, so the whole thing goes in together.
