I know it might not seem very exciting to anyone else and, maybe, we should get out more but we have new cardboard boxes!

The boxes are still double walled for strength and good enough to reuse - they would cost about £5.00 if you were to buy them in small quantities to move house or office. Now they have our own artwork on.

The good news is that this means we don't have to use our branded vinyl tape anymore. While vinyl is more environmentally friendly than standard polypropylene tape the brown paper tape we now use is better still and can be composted along with the box if you can't reuse it. Cardboard is great in compost bins or heaps especially if you tend to generate a lot of kitchen scraps or grass clippings.

The change has only been brought in for one of our three sizes of box but will be brought in across the range once we need to get more stock in.
