The Trees and Mills
To provide the
high quality paper you need for your envelopes, we have travelled and
searched the mills of Europe, comparing different grades of paper until
the perfect standards were found.
Your envelopes are made from
Eco friendly paper discovered in Finland, 200 miles inside the Arctic
Circle, at a mill where they produce a brilliant white paper with
excellent mechanical properties. This mill has been highly credited with
ISO 14001 for its environmental management ensuring your envelope is
produced using paper from sustainable forests and manufactured without the
use of harmful chlorines.

 Environmentally
friendly
If you want to be
completely environmentally friendly, then your envelopes can also be
produced from 100% recycled paper from a specialist, recycling mill in
France. This paper is made from 100% post consumer waste to ensure your
envelope has been 100% environmentally produced.

Machine friendly gum
Throughout our
search to find you the perfect envelope ingredients, we found a specific
kind of envelope gum in Holland, specially designed with envelope
production in mind. This eliminates the common frustration of ‘glue
spots’ on envelopes that frequently jam mailing machines, causing
considerable costs and inconvenience. You can be sure that the gum in
your envelopes from Nova have secure seams and do not pose risk to your
mailing machines.
Many of our envelopes have a
single film of glassine in the windows on the front of the envelope. This
‘window glassine’ is from a plant in Belgium where they produce the
biodegradable material for this purpose.

 High
quality inks
With the print being such an important factor in your messaging, we had to
make sure we were using the highest quality inks. The inks on your
envelopes are from specialists in Holland and are also environmentally
friendly.
They do not contain heavy
toxic metals, unlike many inks, and are in full compliance with Safety
Standard Europe EN – 17. We have, however, made sure that the ink is of a
standard that ensures your messages are extremely clear and precise whilst
being safe to the environment.

Delivery
We ensure you
receive your envelopes in the same condition as they leave the printing
machines. Your envelopes will be packaged into boxes made of high
density, recycled cardboard with reinforced lids to ensure they are not
crushed in transit. The flip top lids allow the mailing machine operator
to work faster and minimise mistakes, so you benefit from faster, safer
mailings without the extra expense.
