Plastic-free Packaging
We always wrap our products in paper-based packaging and we avoid adhesives so that everything can be re-used before being recycled. We have a passion for paper, and put as much thought into designing our packaging, and carefully hand-wrapping things, as we do into the products themselves. We hope you'll enjoy unwrapping them as much as we enjoy preparing them for you.

Paper is our medium
We love nothing more than wrapping. In fact, many years before we started Mark+Fold, we used to enjoy wrapping gifts for friends and sending surprise parcels in the post. The delight of receiving these is what drives much of what we do.

We pride ourselves on personal touches
Our aim is to be the the antithesis of global online retailers. Incorporating personal touches like a note to say who wrapped your order, and training our stationery-loving team to wrap each and every parcel in the Mark+Fold way.

Plastic-free from day one
We have always used entirely plastic-free packaging, unlike most other stationery brands who routinely use shrink-wrapping on notebooks and cellophane bags for cards and paperclips. Instead, we use custom-printed Bible paper wraps or tissue for notebook packaging, and glassine paper envelopes for our Cards, Paperclips and Brass Page Markers. Postal packaging is all FSC-certified sustainable and recyclable cardboard, with paper-based parcel tape. International orders have documents enclosed in a clear pocket made from potato-starch.
