Crafting Responsibly: Atomic Knitting's Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions

At Atomic Knitting, we're always on the lookout for ways to reduce our environmental footprint and make sustainable choices. That's why we're excited to unveil our new packaging solutions for all orders sent from Atomic Knitting. Each supplier is carefully chosen with eco-conscious crafting in mind - we choose local, small businesses wherever possible. From cardboard box mailers to compostable mailing bags, every aspect of our packaging reflects our commitment to the planet.

Cardboard Box Mailer from MacroPackaging:

Our cardboard box mailers are manufactured from single-wall E flute corrugated board with a kraft finish, ensuring durability and protection for your orders. What sets these mailers apart is their eco-friendly construction – made from recycled materials and fully recyclable themselves. With one shaped tab that slot-locks into the box for closure, they're convenient to use and assemble. Plus, they're delivered to us flat-packed for easy space-saving storage, minimising transportation emissions.
