The UK's premier range of manilla
business envelopes
EU Eco-label
All New Guardian Heavyweight envelopes are made from EU Eco-label accredited high quality manilla paper- better for the environment.
The EU Eco-label (also known as the EU Eco-Flower) is an independent accreditation that considers environmental factors that other labels do not, addressing the growing demand for environmentally friendly products.
Products displaying the EU Eco-label use less energy, consume fewer natural resources (eg water and raw materials), have lower impact on air quality and ultimately contribute to ozone layer protection and environmental safety.
