Packaging
- Our standard mailers are made of kraft and can be recycled in your cardboard bin (sometimes paper – check with your recycler).
- We use water-activated paper tape that can go straight into the recycling.
- We pad your planners with tissue paper that can be composted.
- While most shipping label liners are treated with a silicone coating, our shipping labels have recyclable liners. We've sometimes even used these to cushion your order in transport. If our tiny start-up can invest in these, so can the bigger folks!!
- In 2021, each planner was wrapped by hand using sheets of kraft paper. These sheets and mailers were each individually screen printed by hand. As we grow, we will need to move to locally-made boxes that are pre-printed to make fulfilment more efficient (and to prevent tendonitis!), but we're still screen printing in 2022!
- Our planner boxes are made in Canada too!
Thanks so much in your interested in our small business and Canadian-made!
You're probably aware that many planners, pens, and stickers are often wrapped in plastics and materials that don't do our planet any favors. These items not only clutter our homes but also contribute to larger environmental issues. It's a cycle we're determined to break.
Our aim is to craft products that align with your values and ours. We're talking recyclable, plastic-free, and sourced from renewable materials. We've got a five-year plan to become an entirely zero-waste operation, focusing on post-consumer materials that are as kind to the Earth as they are to you.
In today's fast-paced world, businesses often prioritize speed and cost over ethics, especially when sourcing products. The convenience of online suppliers can unfortunately lead to overlooking the ethics behind manufacturing. We believe there's a better way to do business.
That's why we've chosen to partner with family-owned manufacturers here in Canada. These are collaborations that allow us to have a transparent, ethical, and sustainable production line. It's the sort of mindfulness that you would expect from a friend, because respect for both people and the planet is what we're all about.
So, if your style leans toward conscientious living without sacrificing elegance, welcome. We're thrilled to have you join us on this journey toward ethical and sustainable sophistication.
Our First Planner.
We released our first Canadian-made planner into the wild and sold out by Christmas.
