The only truly green alternative to plastic cards
We all know how bad plastic is for our environment. It’s over-engineered, energy-hungry and difficult to recycle.
What if you could find an alternative for your gift, loyalty, membership, event badges and ID cards that are 91% more carbon efficient than PVC, better value for money, and quicker to produce?
Welcome to Green Gift Cards.

All our cards are made from Invercote, the world’s most environmentally friendly paperboard. Green Gift Cards have a carbon footprint of 4.28 gCO2e per unit, compared to 8.14 gCO2e for litho-printed cards and 46.97 gCO2e for PVC cards¹. Even our embellishments are environmentally friendly!

The Green Gift Cards story
The materials used to create our Green Gift Cards are manufactured in a sustainable Invercote paperboard from Holman Iggesund, where more than 40 million trees are planted every year.
More trees are planted than harvested year after year, and our paperboard is made from the part of the tree that would otherwise go to waste. The process of turning nature's leftovers from wood to paperboard is done in a carbon-neutral mill with only natural, sustainable fuels used. Watch this amazing process in action.
