PRODUCTS & MATERIALS

PAPER & CARD STOCK
Products using this material include:
  • Greeting Cards
  • Notebooks
  • Postcards
  • Paper Doll

We take pride in using FSC certified paper for all of our paper products, which are carefully assembled by hand in our studio. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit organization established in 1993 that promotes responsible forest management. By using FSC certified paper, we can ensure that our products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

ACRYLIC
Products using this material include:
  • Acrylic Keychains

Our production partner now offers an 'Eco' range of acrylic charms made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials. These materials are repurposed from acrylics that have reached the end of their life cycle and would otherwise be sent to landfill or incinerated. The recycled acrylic (R-MMA) used in our 'Eco' range looks and performs just as well as standard virgin acrylic (PMMA) but is completely VOC and HFC-free, making it much kinder to the environment.

Our production partner's acrylic suppliers are auto-sustainable and power their production facility using waste products from their manufacturing processes, further reducing their environmental impact. Both 'Eco' and 'regular' acrylics are collected by our production partner's suppliers and recycled into R-MMA, eliminating any acrylic waste.

WOODS
Products using this material include:
  • Wooden Earrings
  • Wooden Keychains
  • Wooden Pin Badges

Preserving our planet's trees, woodlands, and forests is crucial, and we are committed to using only sustainable, responsibly managed wood in our products. Our production partner exclusively uses fast-growing species of trees, such as Birch, Maple, Cherry, and Walnut, as these are the most sustainable. These woods are harvested at a rate that matches their growth, ensuring that the woodlands they originate from will retain their supply and unique characteristics indefinitely.

STICKER VINYL
Products using this material include:
  • Sticker Set (Vinyl Sticker)

Our production partner provides a range of eco-friendly paper stickers, which we recommend for customers who would like to produce stickers for single-use applications such as packaging or promotional giveaways. These stickers are made from responsibly sourced paper from managed woodlands and are 100% PVC-free and recyclable, making them an environmentally friendly choice.

SILK SCREENING PRODUCTS
Products using this material include:
  • Pouches

We prioritise sustainability and responsibility in our production process. That's why we use water-based, solvent-free inks to reduce our environmental impact. Additionally, we are committed to conserving water during production. To ensure the highest quality, each piece undergoes a thorough inspection before it is shipped out to our customers.

PACKAGING

The three R's – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
At Minifanfan, we are committed to minimizing our environmental impact and reducing waste. As a small business owner and artist, we reuse and upcycle used boxes, padded envelopes, and packing materials whenever possible. When we receive a shipment, we break down the shipping materials and add them to our studio for future use. If a box or package has enough integrity to be used again, we will reuse it. If it is in poor condition, we will recycle it.

Our goal is to make our shipping process as sustainable as possible. We make every effort to reduce waste and use resources efficiently. Therefore, please note that the box or padded envelope you receive may have been used before, but we ensure that it still has enough integrity to provide safe and secure shipping. We hope that the reused packaging does not affect your perception of the quality of the product inside.

Thank you for supporting our efforts to reduce waste and promote sustainability.
