Creative ways to re-use our pretty paper mailing bags

At The British Blanket Company, we are always looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact and make our brand even more eco-friendly. That's why we're proud to have replaced plastic mailing bags with paper mailing bags that you can re-use again and again.

Our paper mailing bags are made in the UK from thick 2-ply paper, making them durable and reusable. We use water-based inks to print the bags with a beautiful watercolour landscape design of British scenery, adding a touch of charm and character to your delivery. They're also fully recyclable in your kerbside paper collection, so you can feel good when the time eventually comes to throw them away.

5 creative ways to re-use a paper bag before you throw it away

  1. Make an origami boat, hat or even a kite with the kids.
  2. Use it to line your kitchen compost caddy.
  3. Store potatoes in the dark to keep them fresher longer.
  4. Open the bag out and use it to supress weeds in your garden.
  5. Cut into squares and use as notepaper.

 

We know that many of our customers are conscious of their environmental impact, and we want to do our part to help. By switching to paper packaging, we're reducing the amount of plastic waste we produce, which is better for the planet and our oceans. At The British Blanket Company, we're committed to making more sustainable choices wherever we can. Our natural blankets are made from 100% biodegradable wool, and we work with local UK weaving mills to reduce our carbon footprint.
