Our Commitment

With testing, examination and investigation, we have introduced a packaging system for our printed products that is 100% plastic-free and can be recycled as well as still keeping your prints safe and sound until they arrive with you. This has been a very important journey for us as a company and has allowed us to work towards a greener future. Read below our list of components that are involved within our lab packaging process and how each step is crucial to protect your product with a limited carbon impact.

Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions

Once your images are processed, our dedicated team handles your prints with care with them being packaged into fully recyclable wallets or cardboard envelopes. Our first step for print packaging ensures your prints are kept neatly together whilst also giving an extra layer of protection during transit.

Custom Designed Packaging

Any photo prints smaller than 16” will be sent flat in our custom designed cardboard packaging to keep prints protected during transit. All photo prints larger than and including 20” prints will be sent in purpose made print tubes depending on the size and quantity of the prints ordered. Canvases, photo wraps and mounted prints are packaged in bespoke size corrugated cardboard boxes with protective corners and individual wrapping to ensure they arrive safely. For any larger orders, we use cardboard boxes with paper filler to add that extra cushioning for transit with 100% paper tape to continue our plastic free ethos. We have worked closely with our suppliers to find the best solution to ensure safety in transit whilst reducing our carbon footprint.

DPD Mailer Bags

We have looked closely at the best packaging solution for shipment that can be incorporated with all of our products while being eco-friendly. We use two sizes of mailer bags for packaging prints that are supplied by DPD and designed to fit our printed products. DPD mailing bags are made from 80% recycled material reclaimed from the agricultural industry and are fully recyclable once finished with.

With all our recent improvements to reduce our emissions, we are committed to continue minimising our impact within all of our operations.

With every SIM order placed, we will be planting a tree on behalf of our customers at no extra cost to you! Each tree planted will be attached to a project within Ecology’s global reforestation mix and its journey can be tracked and followed to see the difference it is making for our ecosystem. You can therefore purchase our products knowing that you're doing right by the environment and pass this information to your own clients letting them know that they are making incredible donation to our world purchasing from you.
