Packing & Materials
Orders are wrapped with minimal waste in mind, aiming to avoid plastic wherever possible.
POSTAL PACKING
To ensure the safety of your order and to keep the products flat and safe during postage all prints and cards are packaged in recyclable hard-backed envelopes (no plastic bubble!). I also add 100% recycled sturdy cardboard backing for all prints. Instead of plastic tape, I seal envelopes with eco-friendly paper tape. It is also 100% recyclable and plastic-free.
CARDS
As a product-based business, I have taken the Naked Cards pledge to reduce packaging and ‘go naked’. To help cut down on plastic waste I have removed cello bags from online card orders.
Instead of a cello bag, a card + matched envelope will pack in a larger paper envelope. If you purchase a few different cards, all of them will be put into one paper envelope.
NAKED CARDS CAMPAIGN
Naked Cards is a social campaign to encourage online card sellers to ditch plastic cellos in favour of either "naked" cards or paper packaging. We really love what these guys have started, and I am pleased to join them. You can find out more about Naked Cards at nakedcards.co.uk
MY AIM
I still use plastic cellophane sleeves for art print orders and wholesale orders, and I know that this is something I need to look at. But now, I just want to concentrate on online card orders first.
My aim is to one day be able to package all of orders 100% plastic-free using biodegradable or recyclable materials. So, I will keep working on this, trying to think outside of the box and use materials that are available to me.
If you have any questions or suggestions for So Quiet packaging, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Warmly,
Daria
