As we are a paper business and we are very conscious of our impact on the Earth, we only use papers that are FSC certified. This means that it is made with, or contains, wood that comes from FSC certified forests (trees planted for paper production) or from post-consumer waste.

    We use a combination of digital and offset printing with soy based inks.

    Digital printing with Fuji Xerox - In 2000 Fuji Xerox Co Ltd made a commitment to zero waste to landfill of recovered products, which led to the establishment of recycling systems across the Asia Pacific region. This involves collecting products back from their customers that have reached their end-of-life, for reuse, remanufacturing and recycling. Since 2012 Fuji Xerox Australia has been achieving zero waste to landfill.

    We reuse all our bubble wrap and boxes from prior deliveries and recycle any courier satchels through the REDcycle program. Our own courier satchels that we post orders in are from Hero Packaging, which are 100% certified home compostable or you can put in your green bin (if your council permits).

    Our greeting card range is packaged with recycled paper bands to keep the card and envelope together (or compostable cellophane bags upon request) because who needs a single use plastic slip where they buy a card? Not us!
