I've been taking a cautious approach to how I manufacture, sell and post my products for many years now. It's an ongoing process and a core consideration as I create new products and grow my business.

SINGLE USE PLASTIC

I phased out single use plastic in 2018, opting to sell my cards and prints 'naked' with no plastic sleeve. Prints are stored flat and then either rolled or left flat and wrapped in tissue to protect them after purchase. Cards are wrapped in tissue and posted in a card backed envelope.

POSTAL PACKAGING

All of my postal mailers are made from 100% recycled material and are 100% recyclable too. I even use acid free paper tape to seal boxes where required, which can be left on the box for recycling. Mailers are all made here in the UK.

My products come wrapped in tissue paper which is fully recyclable. My plain coloured tissue is made from 100% recycled material and my printed tissue is made with FSC grade acid free fibre containing 30% recycled material and printed with soy based ink. You can either recycle or compost, whichever you prefer.

PRODUCTS

My greetings cards and prints are made from 100% recycled paper stock and are printed with an FSC logo so that their manufacture can be fully traced back to the source here in the UK. Both are 100% recyclable, although many of my customers and their recipients love to frame their cards.

My brown envelopes are also made from 100% recycled material in the UK and are fully recyclable.

I began phasing out my coasters and placemats summer 2021. They're manufactured in the UK using a sustainably sourced eucalyptus board base and are very hard wearing. The placemats are now fully discontinued and the coasters are almost gone too.

Tote bags are made from 100% cotton and sourced from a fair trade supplier in the UK. I then screen print them with water based inks.

The paper for my hand screen printed cotton rag prints is made from cotton t-shirt off-cuts by Khadi Papers.  

RECYCLING + REUSING

Every box and item of packaging material that comes into my studio from my manufacturers is either reused or recycled. All used paper and card is also recycled making the studio very very close to zero waste.

PLANTING TREES

In February 2021, I joined Ecologi to do more to fight climate change. Not only will I be planting trees every month, you'll be planting trees too with every purchase you make of my products. You can see Neon Gray's impact so far on my Ecologi profile and even donate more yourself.  

2. PAYMENT

I use Shopify as my merchant for payments. Shopify accepts the following cards:

Visa
MasterCard
American Express
Debit cards (also known as bank cards) are accepted if they have a Visa or MasterCard logo.

Shopify automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL). Here at Neon Gray, I don’t see or handle your payment details.

Once your payment's successful, you'll receive an email confirming your order. You will not be sent a paper receipt.

3. DELIVERY

I use Royal Mail for postage and delivery on all orders. I keep my postage and packaging charges to an absolute minimum.

Please, please, please make sure your address is correct when you're placing your order. Addresses come through and are printed on your parcel exactly as you've typed them. Royal Mail are generally brilliant at resolving problems, but they can't help if your address is wrong, which means I can't either and I'd hate for you to miss out on an order.

UK Delivery

Standard delivery is via Royal Mail 1st Class. Your order should arrive within 1 to 3 working days after dispatch. I offer free Standard delivery on all orders over £50.

Express delivery is via Royal Mail Tracked 24. Your order should arrive the day after dispatch.

Please understand that I can't guarantee these delivery times. These times are aimed for by Royal Mail. 

International Delivery

For all international orders, I use Royal Mail International Standard or International Tracked and Signed. Within Europe your order should arrive within 3 - 5 working days after dispatch. For the rest of the world the delivery aim is 5 - 7 days after dispatch.

Please understand that I cannot guarantee these delivery times. These times are aimed for by Royal Mail. There are currently delays with shipping to Europe due to Brexit. Please allow extra time for your order to arrive. I know it's more expensive, but I strongly advise opting for tracked and signed on all international orders.

4. DAMAGED OR MISSING ORDERS

Our posties are generally great, but if your order does not arrive or is damaged upon arrival please get in touch and send me some pictures of the damage so that I can liaise with Royal Mail to resolve this for you. 

5. RETURNS POLICY

If you are not completely satisfied with your product when it arrives, please get in touch with me within 14 days (after receipt) to let me know that you are unhappy with your order and why. If I can't resolve this for you, the product must be returned to me within a further 14 days. It must be in saleable condition with the necessary postal insurance to cover loss or damage for a full refund including delivery. You are responsible for the cost of return. Your refund will be paid to you as soon as possible after I receive the returned item. If a discount code or offer was applied to the product you're returning at the time of purchase, your refund will be for the discounted price. If you ordered multiple items and are only returning one, then the cost of delivery will not be refunded. 

Colour

It is important to note that colour, brightness and contrast vary greatly from monitor to monitor and phone. Please understand that your item may not look exactly as you see it on your own monitor or phone at home. My photographs have been digitally processed with a precise calibration for optimum colour and saturation and as such may not match what you see on your devices. Rest assured that the product you will receive has the precise colouring that I have intended.

Paper and Card Stock

I predominantly use recycled paper and card stocks. These papers come with natural variations in colour, texture and with little flecks peppered throughout them. This is a natural part of how recycled papers are made and therefore no two prints or cards will appear exactly the same.
