Suppliers
We care about who we work with. We build relationships with small businesses so our supply chains are short, transparent and accountable.
As well as our regular suppliers, we also collaborate every quarter with the best small ethical brands and independent makers.

Regular suppliers
We’ve partnered with the planet-friendly Leeds-based print studio, Print.Work for all our printed material including stickers, art prints, posters and our magazine. The quality of the work is exquisite and they’re 100% committed to environmentally friendly print practices.
Tissue
Our branded tissue is from New Zealand-based global packaging brand, NoIssue, who despite now being a global brand are still committed to creating more sustainable options in the packaging market. Our tissue comes from their UK-based hub, not all the way from NZ!
Boxes
We currently get our plain kraft boxes from ASC Cartons while we work out the most planet friendly and cost-effective way to produce our own lovely branded boxes. You can read about their environmental policy here.
To keep packaging to a minimum, we reveal the theme on the box lid using a stamp from Get Stamped. They're a small business who use environmentally sourced oak for their stamp handles and natural eco rubber for the actual stamp. Their packaging is 100% plastic-free and with a re-inker, their pads last for tens of thousands of impressions. They also plant a tree for every custom stamp they sell.
Weatherproof mailing bag
We’re testing whether we need to put the boxes into weatherproof mailing bags at all but if yours arrives in one, you can be sure it’s made from 100% recycled material and is biodegradable. The ones we’re currently using are from Polybags.
