🌱 Our Ribbon Choices & Sustainability

We believe packaging should look beautiful and be kind to the planet. Here’s how our different ribbon options compare:

White Satin & Matt Satin Ribbons
These classic satin ribbons are made from virgin polyester. While they offer a smooth or matte finish, they are petroleum-based and not biodegradable, making them the least sustainable choice.
Recycled Satin Ribbon
Made from recycled PET bottles and textile waste, this ribbon keeps plastic out of landfill and reduces the need for new raw materials. It still has the look and feel of satin but with a smaller environmental footprint.
Recycled Paper Ribbon
The most eco-friendly option in our range. Produced from recycled paper pulp, it’s fully recyclable and biodegradable. A natural choice for brands and customers wanting to reduce plastic use altogether.

✨ Our Recommendation: If you’re aiming for luxury with lighter impact, choose Recycled Satin Ribbon. For the most sustainable packaging, Recycled Paper Ribbon is the clear winner.

🌿 Sustainable Paper Choices

At Paper Love Cards, every card starts with a commitment to the planet. We believe beautiful design shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment, which is why we only use FSC-certified cardstock. FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification means the paper is responsibly sourced from forests that are managed with care for both people and nature — ensuring healthy forests for future generations.

But sustainability doesn’t stop there. In our studio:

✂️ Offcuts are never wasted – we recycle or repurpose all paper trimmings into smaller products, sample packs, or creative projects.
♻️ Misprints find a second life – instead of heading to landfill, they are reused for testing, note cards, or donated where possible.
📦 Eco-conscious processes – we print efficiently and only produce what we need, reducing excess waste.

By choosing Paper Love Cards, you’re supporting sustainable printing practices that protect forests, reduce waste, and give new life to every sheet of paper.
