This is a kraft paper packaging tape with a water-activated starch adhesive for sealing cardboard and paper parcels. Once moistened and applied, it dries to form a neat, secure seal with a natural kraft finish. Because the tape is paper-based, it is easy to write on and sits neatly on boxes without the plasticky look of conventional packing tape. It is a parcel-sealing tape for cardboard and paper surfaces, not a peel-and-stick plastic tape.
♡ Why we love it: This tape gives parcels a much cleaner, more considered finish than standard plastic tape. It feels practical, tidy, and easy to work with, especially when you want packaging that looks simple and natural.

About Bottles & Jars
Our wide range of glass bottles, glass jars and aluminium tins are available to purchase as single units, or in bulk.
Why we love them: beautiful and practical, whether you’re blending oils or serums, creams, lotions or balms, sprays or mists, washes for face, body or hair, we offer a packaging solution for any need or occasion.
Our packaging is made from high quality, readily recyclable glass and aluminium, and any plastic parts such as caps are made from pharmaceutical grade LDPE.
However, hardly any type of packaging is going to be 100% sustainable and environmentally friendly. This is the trade-off of safely packaging products and having different kinds of functionality, such as pipettes - which can’t really be made out of any other material.
For us, sustainability is a direction of travel; we constantly strive to be better and do better for our planet. All of our packaging is entirely reusable and we encourage you to keep your glass bottles, jars and aluminium tins in the loop by reusing and repurposing them – have fun and be creative!
