Description

Packaging counts! Creative, earth-friendly storage and gift-giving solutions, made using tree-free paper. A quick and unique way to gift jewelry, personal accessories or even a home-made treat. Eliminate the gift-wrapping. Or, simply use the boxes themselves as gifts. Also, if you are a retailer, here is a good option for showcasing your products!

This special paper is crafted from 100% cotton hosiery waste scrap fabric, discarded by cotton t-shirt manufacturers. The paper is Processed Chlorine-Free (PCP) and is unbleached, making the product and the process earth-friendly. Makes a thoughtful gift.

A Fair Trade product. Handmade by artisans in India.

How It's Made

Artisans first blend scrap fabric with water until the mixture becomes a watery paste. To create the broad spectrum of colors, vibrant azo-free dyes are added at this stage. Artisans then pull wire mesh screens through tubs filled with the mixture, forming sheets. These wet sheets are skillfully transferred from the screen into stacks, each sheet separated with layers of fabric. Excess water is first removed using a hydraulic press, then individual sheets are hung to dry. Once fully dry, each sheet is pressed flat. Many are then embellished with beautiful hand block print designs.
