Recycled Greeting Card FAQs

Does recycled paper look different?

Yes, in the best way. Expect gentle flecks, soft tones, and a warm handmade feel.

Is it high quality?

Absolutely. Recycled ≠ flimsy. The cardstock I use is thick, durable, and handles ink beautifully. I use 60–80 lb 100% recycled cardstock. It’s sturdy enough to stand on a mantel or tuck into a gift, but still soft to the touch so your pen glides smoothly. Not flimsy, not glossy — just cozy and honest.

Will the print colors still look good on recycled paper?

Yes. Recycled stock takes ink beautifully. Colors come out rich, warm, and slightly more organic than on ultra-bright white. Think “storybook cozy” rather than “laser printer neon.”

Can I recycle the card again?

Yes, please do! Toss it in with paper recycling when you’re done (unless you want to keep it on the fridge forever). Everything from the paper, envelop, shipping materials and ink is safe to recycle.

Is the envelope recycled too? How does shipping stay eco-friendly?

Everything ships from my Minnesota studio in recycled or renewable mailers which are recyclable, plastic-free, and sturdy enough to protect your items without waste. International orders often print closer to you to reduce emissions and avoid long-haul shipping.

When I do need to partner I choose folks like Prodigi who use organic, recycled, plastic-free and sustainably sourced materials for both printing and shipping.

Why does it cost a little more?

Because doing things responsibly costs more to produce — but the difference is small, and the impact lasts longer than the card itself.

I am inspired, where can I buy more recycled things?

Here are some cool places to check out:

Close-up of a white textured surface, possibly a piece of paper or cardboard, with some embossed or raised sections.

Paper Close-Ups

Recycled cardstock has real personality — little flecks from past lives, soft natural color, and a texture that feels like it was meant to be written on.

Check out these close-ups. Recycled doesn’t mean rough or flimsy. It means charmingly imperfect in a way that mass-produced paper just… isn’t.
