Valentine's Day is one of the biggest greeting card events of the year. Here's how to make your Valentine's print sustainable and memorable.
Approximately 25 million Valentine’s Day cards are sent in the UK every year. Most end up in general waste rather than paper recycling. It doesn’t have to be that way.
Sustainable Valentine’s cards
A well-designed card on FSC certified or recycled board, printed with vegetable inks and with no plastic lamination, is fully recyclable and tells a story about thoughtfulness. The uncoated finish has a tactile quality that gloss laminated cards simply don’t have.
Specify: 350gsm FSC certified uncoated or recycled stock. No lamination. Vegetable-based inks. Recyclable envelope included.
For product businesses: Valentine’s packaging
A limited-edition gift box on FSC certified kraft board with a spot colour print, tissue paper in recycled white, and a swing tag on recycled card creates a premium unboxing experience without plastic.
Planning ahead
Seasonal print deadlines are tight. Request a quote at least three weeks before Valentine’s Day to allow for turnaround and delivery.
