As a business built on customer- centricity, Envelopes Ltd delivers more. It can provide all of its products completely unbranded and does not set a minimum order level. Plus, its onsite digital and litho printing facility supports customers looking to personalise or overprint a wide range of products, from commercial envelopes, bubble bags, pillow boxes and box mailers to heavy duty board back and gusset capacity envelopes. Plastic-free The company is committed to reducing its environmental impact and is proactively taking steps to further improve its environmental credentials through innovation within its product offering, as well as adopting eco-friendly business practices internally. Sustainability is at the forefront of decision-making in the design and sourcing of the packaging products it sells. Envelope Ltd’s goal is to replace traditional products containing plastic content with ones made from recyclable plastic-free alternatives. To this end, the company has created a new brand category – Envirolopes – which houses an ever increasing range of envelopes and postal packaging products made solely from environmentally-friendly materials. Its flagship products – Flutelopes fully recyclable corrugated mailers made completely of paper; Boardlopes white all-board envelopes and Combelopes light padded mailing bags – are the first of many plastic-free products that will be available from Envelopes Ltd. Bamboo and eucalyptus For organisations looking to make greener choices, Envelopes Ltd’s eco-friendly, plastic-free alternative packaging solutions also include recycled envelopes, bamboo envelopes, eucalyptus envelopes, board back envelopes, book mailers and glassine bags. Among its most popular items are envelopes containing bamboo. One of the world’s most sustainable resources, bamboo is perfect for paper-making; it has a superior tensile strength (greater than that of steel) thus producing strong paper products and, as its long fibre contains less dust particles, it produces a much softer paper compared to other recycled paper products. Other key benefits include the fact that Bamboo paper is acid-free, so it can be stored for a lot longer without the risk of becoming brittle or discoloured; the fibres decompose naturally without causing harm so they’re safe for all disposal systems; and making paper from bamboo consumes much less water and energy and doesn’t require the same strong chemical treatment needed to produce recycled papers. Envelopes Ltd is also currently re- developing a number of its other ranges including all board envelopes, capacity book mailers and capacity fluted mailers, replacing the existing plastic easy opening strip with a new patented environmentally-friendly easy opener. www.worldofenvelopes.com Eco-friendly packaging Established over 20 years ago, Envelopes Ltd has grown from a small home-based envelope overprinter into one of the biggest UK-based suppliers of postal packaging products
