Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Little Green Paper Shop?
Little Green Paper Shop are an eco-friendly stationery store aimed at reducing waste in the industry. We make greeting cards, staionery, corporate prints, promotional material and gifting on a range of eco friendly paper.
What is Seed Paper?
Seed Paper is a biodegradable eco-paper made with recycled and sustainably sourced materials which have been embedded with seeds. When the paper is planted and the paper composts away all that will be left behind is flowers, herbs or vegetables.
What seeds does your seed paper have?
Our papers are available in a range of seeds such as wildflower mix, alyssum, tomato, carrot, daisy, poppy, lavender, rudbeckia, thyme, parsley and basil.
What is the difference between Lux and Bloom?
Lux and Bloom are our most popular seed papers. Lux has a lower growth rate, but a much smoother finish for high quality printing. Bloom is whiter and has a much higher growth rate as it is air dried giving the seeds the best chance of germinating.
Where is your paper made?
We use a range of suppliers to ensure we have a robust supply chain, these suppliers originate from the UK, Europe and overseas. All products are printed and hand-finished in Cheshire, UK.
Is your paper eco-friendly?
Absolutely, all of our card stock is sustainably sourced and gives back to the environment in various ways.
What is Elephant Poo Paper?
Elephants Poo Paper is made from elephant poo and cotton fibres or recycled materials.Using the poo to make paper provides a source of income for the elephant sanctuaries that our makers work with. They are a great novelty option for kids stationery, father's day cards, businesses that work with animals and much, much more!
Can I print on Seed Paper?
Yes, you can print on our papers using a range of techniques from home inkjets to screen printing. Due to the surface of the paper printing can be a little more challenging, so please ensure you have enough paper to cover all your requirements. Seed paper is not suitable for use with laser printers.
Lead times and express fees
Our standard lead time is 7-12 business for production from approval of proofs or receipt of artwork, this does NOT include transit time. If you require delivery on a specific date before this, express fees will apply. For express fee options, please get in touch with our sales team.
What are the "UPGRADE" charges showing on my invoice?
Many of our products come with a base version, and additional features or enhancements are offered as upgrades. Each upgrade typically incurs an additional cost, which will show as a separate item on your invoice.
Charging for upgrades separately allows customers to tailor their purchases according to their specific needs. It provides flexibility, enabling them to choose only the features they require, allowing for complete customisation of our products.
Do you do custom work?
Absolutely, we can do custom designs using your own artwork, or create artwork for you based upon your designs.
Do you have wholesale prices?
Wholesale pricing is already applied on each product page. For higher quantities than those advertised on the product pages, please get in touch on sales@littlegreenpapershop.com.
For wholesale on Greeting Cards, please see the "Little Green Cards" tab on the main menu.
Will I receive a proof for my order?
Yes, all customised work is sent to you to approve before going to print, you will have the final say on all of our designs. You will NOT receive a proof if you are providing artwork yourself as we expect this to be created within the requirements set out in each product page. If we do notice any issues we will of course raise them, but you should not rely on this and it is not a guarantee or something we can be held responsible for.
How long will my order take?
As a guideline, we aim to dispatch your order within 3-5 business days for UK delivery of non-personalised items (i.e. blank paper, stock items). For personalised items the leadtime is 7-12 business days from receipt of artwork OR approval of digital proofs (whichever applies). Please bear this in mind when placing your order. If you do need your order faster or by a specific date, please get in touch and ask. We will do our best to accommodate. Please note: the EXPRESS postage option applies to a faster delivery and does not speed up production time.
We aim to process orders as quick as possible without compromising on quality, however times will be dependant on our workload at time of ordering as well as the size of the order.
Can you ship internationally?
Yes, in fact we see similar demand both overseas and in the UK. International orders are obviously subject to longer shipping times and local regulations.
