Why card catch stickers are the future of sustainable card packaging

For years, greeting cards have been wrapped in a plastic cello bag to keep the card and envelope neatly together. While this is practical, they are a single use plastic which isn’t sustainable because it’s unnecessary waste. Today’s environment means that we need to start being more eco conscious and finding ways to reduce our plastic waste. But how do you solve this problem?

Introducing Card catch stickers, a clever eco friendly alternative to plastic cello bags. 

They are designed to stick onto the side of your card and envelope to keep them organised, protected and securely together without the need for plastic packaging.

With a low-tack removable adhesive they hold firmly during transport, but peel away cleanly without leaving any residue or damaging your cards. 

Available in a range of sizes and shapes, you can tailor them to suit you and your brand. 

Sustainability Benefits

Changing from plastic cello bags to card catch stickers is such a small but eco conscious choice that comes with environmental benefits.

Plastic free packaging

Card catch stickers eliminate the need for single use plastic all together which helps reduce landfill and environmental pollution. 

Consumers are starting to choose brands that actively demonstrate that they’re sustainable and making a change. Which means that by offering plastic free greeting cards you can gain and strengthen customer trust and loyalty because the smallest details can send a strong message. 

Retailer and customer experience

Just because you’re swapping to an eco-friendly choice doesn’t mean that you’re compromising on presentation. Card catch stickers keep your cards neat and secure whether you’re selling online or in person. They offer a StressFree experience for your customer because there’s no fiddly plastic sleeves to remove, no waste to dispose of and our stickers leave no sticky residue behind.

Cost and efficiency

Switching to card catch stickers can also be a better financial decision because you’re reducing the material used. Using a small sticker instead of a plastic sleeve means less packaging material per product.

Applying a sticker can also be a lot quicker and simpler than inserting your cards into cello bags, this then saves you packaging time.

Stickers take up a lot less space than bulky cello bags which helps increase your stock space and keep your workspace organised.
