A Wild Success: How FSC Helps Wildlife Populations Grow

If you’re reading this, you may have noticed a few changes around here. That’s because in the Spring cleaning spirit, we’ve dusted off the shelves and moved some things around! As time goes on, it’s nice to shake things up and get a different perspective, that’s why we’ve gone ahead and launched a brand new website with a fresh look!  It may not be the most drastic change of layouts, as we’ve opted to simply refine what worked best with our previous website, taking on board feedback from our customers to hone in on a much more optimised user experience that aims to make shopping as easy as possible for you!  So we thought it would be best to focus in on some of the key features we’ve been working on behind the scenes to make this new website all the more special!   Hello Mobile   While there was a lot to love with our previous website (it made our lives a whole lot easier than before!), there was always a big difference between the desktop vs mobile experience. As smartphones have only gotten smarter, and the stats show that more and more people are ditching their computers every year, the necessity for a more mobile-friendly website became more obvious by the day. So with that on board, we’ve redesigned our mobile interface to make it easier than ever to order from your phone, saving you precious time and allowing you to order from wherever is most convenient for you!   Upload Your Own Artwork We’ve heard you loud and clear! One of the most requested features among our customers has always been the ability to upload artwork directly through the ordering process, and we’re so happy to say we’ve finally incorporated this into our new website! There isn’t much more to say about this one, other than go try it out for yourself and see what you think!   Minimum Order? What’s That? We’re always pushing to make ordering from us as easy as possible to as many people as possible. We know not everyone is a huge company with unlimited money to spend on packaging, so we’re happy to say there will be no minimum order quantity on any of our products! This goes for plain or printed packaging. So whether you need a thousand boxes for your product launch, or one gift bag for someone’s birthday, we’re the number one stop to shop!   Bulk Buy Prices Slashed   We’re all about saving money here, and we don’t just mean for us! As a small business ourselves, we understand the struggle our customers go through when it comes to finances, and so we’re always looking for ways to make our products as affordable as can be so you can get the best deal possible! So with that said, we’re excited to say we’re dropping the price on our bulk-buy tiers, meaning you’re now getting more for less! We hope this will incentivise customers to consider upgrading their order quantities so that they save money in the long run! We think it’s a no-brainer!   Say Goodbye to Set-Up Fees   Bulk-buy prices aren’t the only thing we’re adjusting, as with the launch of the new Packaging World website, we’re finally saying goodbye to set-up fees! Now when you place an order for printed packaging, you won’t be greeted by that sneaky add-on fee when you peek into your basket. So now, when you click buy, you know how much you’re spending with no last minute surprises! With all the above features (and many more under the hood) we’re super excited to welcome you all into the brand new Packaging World website, and we can’t wait to hear your experiences! We’re open to any and all feedback as we look to continue improving the experience for our customers day by day, so please let us know what you think!

With the winter weather leaving us all cold and miserable, it can be tempting to lock ourselves inside and block out the outside world. However the outside world doesn’t just simply disappear, and it’s important that we continue to look after it, even from the comfort of our own homes.  That’s why we’ve come up with a number of ways for you to continue to help out the planet while also saving some money by recycling old items you might have lying around over the winter.   DIY Insulation Repurpose old blankets, curtains, or clothing as effective insulation materials. Hang blankets over draughty windows or doors to block the cold air and retain warmth indoors. Additionally, you can lay down rugs or thick fabric mats on hardwood or tile floors to minimise the loss of heat. These simple yet effective techniques help conserve heat during the winter months, saving you the need to crank the heating up, saving you money and helping the planet!   Homemade Fire Starters   Take cardboard egg cartons and fill them with shredded paper to create eco-friendly fire starters for your fireplace or wood stove. This is a great sustainable alternative to store-bought options, that not only reduces waste but also helps saving money on heating bills!   Glass Jars Make Great Storage  Instead of throwing away glass jars from food like pasta sauces or jam, give them a good clean out and use them as storage containers. They're perfect for organising pantry staples like grains, nuts, and spices. You can also use them to store homemade soups, stews, or leftovers in the fridge or freezer!   Composting Ready For Spring   Start a compost bin in your garden or even indoors using a designated composting container. Food scraps like fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and eggshells make for great ingredients for soil for your garden. This not only reduces the waste sent to landfills but also provides free fertiliser for your plants as we prepare for the Spring!   Give Old Clothes New Life  Maybe an obvious one, but certainly for a good reason! Instead of throwing away old jumpers with holes or mismatched socks, repurpose them into cosy accessories to keep you warm in the winter. Cut up old jumpers to make hand warmers, scarves, or even patchwork blankets. And if you have kids, mismatched socks can be used to make silly little hand puppets for entertainment. This is the most creative and fun idea on the list, giving you and your kids a great hobby that repurposes old items instead of simply throwing them away!   Implementing these recycling strategies during the winter months not only reduces waste but also saves money and contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle. By repurposing household items like clothes, glass jars, and food scraps, you can effectively minimise your environmental impact while cutting down on your bills!   Additionally, creating homemade fire starters from cardboard egg cartons and repurposing old jumpers and socks as new accessories further promotes an eco-conscious lifestyle. These simple yet impactful actions help create a greener, more cost-effective approach to winter living, aligning with our principles of sustainability and responsible consumption.   To see our environmentally responsible ideology in action, you can check out our range of eco-friendly products here, along with our range of FSC certified packaging here, ensuring all materials come from sustainable sources.
