Mailers

We 

Our packaging

We take our impact on the environment seriously.  Since 2015, we have been shipping our web orders in traditional padded envelopes, made from a paper outer and plastic bubblewrap inner.  We believed that these provided the best combination of strength/protection, weight and environmental impact.  However, during 2018 we started researching the choices and discovered that our padded envelopes were maybe not the most eco-friendly solution.  Around the same time, we received a return package which had been undeliverable.  The paper of the envelope was torn and the plastic bubblewrap was exposed and ripped.  We decided it was time to try something different!  Our products are made of fabric and will not break in transit - they don't need padding, just a strong protective covering.  After considering the options, we are experimenting with 'poly mailers'.  Whilst the use of a plastic envelope appears to be a poor choice for the environment, in fact this is not the case.  The poly mailers we have chosen to test are made from 100% recycled plastic and are, themselves, 100% recyclable.  Neither is true of our previous favourite!
