Eco Envelope Stickers (for small shops)
Jeff and the Squirrel is a small indie business, which offers eco-friendly stickers and cello bags, to support and empower indie shops. You can order custom logos direct from the site, or we link to their Etsy shop, where you can find plastic-free items, to thank customers for their support!
These creative envelope stickers serve a purpose, they are paper-based (not vinyl) so easy to recycle. From thanking customers for shopping small, to preventing people from bending or smashing photographs or fragile items in envelopes, or to apologise for tatty packaging, if you’re a small shop sending out items in reused packaging.
Run an indie shop? Many seeds, flowers, plants (and plantable cards) are toxic to pets, so learn what not to sell to households with pets. Also read how to save our independent bookstores.
Each sticker set is made from recycled materials, and is easy to recycle due to water-based adhesive and eco-conscious vegetable inks. The backing paper is made of siliconised kraft (easy to recycle in some areas, check with your council).
Just investing in a few sheets of these helps to keep your small shop quirky and original, and sends a friendly message that unlike big stores, your packaging may not be perfect to look at, but it’s more planet-friendly! Choose from:
Why Support Small Indie Shops?
For a start, to help shops in Cambridge, which is one of the most cloned towns in England (more chain stores and less independent shops). For every £5 or £10 you spend each week at an independent shop, this brings collectively billions back into the local economy over a year.
This is because local businesses use local suppliers, pay local taxes, use local signwriters, and tend to eat and drink locally too. Plus ‘top profits’ go the retail shop owner, rather out-of-county to shareholders and companies abroad.
