“Bamboo paper is a great thing!”

High quality postcards

Not a paper like any other.

In search of the right premium paper for our little darlings, we took a close look at the types of paper available on the market. Our focus was on sustainability, a pleasant feel and excellent printing properties. After a lot of trial and error, feeling and comparing, we finally decided on paper made of bamboo. Apart from the bamboo content in the paper, it was important to us that the postcard not only looks like a small work of art, but also feels good. This sets us apart from other postcard providers and we do not use standard paper. Our paper is 350gsm and consists of 90% bamboo fibers and 10% cotton with an uncoated surface. This mixture results in a particularly pleasant feel with excellent printing quality. Our postcards (14.8cm x 10.5cm) are printed in Germany near our home town of Wuppertal with a lot of love and passion in a selected printing company.

Facts about the bamboo plant

The bamboo plant belongs to the grass family – once planted, it grows and grows and grows
The first harvest can take place after two to three years, after which the grass can be cut every three to four months to positively influence its growth
Over the years, its roots form a kind of underground network from which new grasses sprout again and again. So we are dealing with a self-renewing resource
In addition, this root network protects the soil from erosion
Bamboo is very undemanding: it thrives on depleted soils, requires little water and does not require fertilizers or pesticides
Bamboo plantations return nutrients to the soil and thus create fertile soils
Bamboo produces about 35% more oxygen than trees and absorbs larger amounts of carbon dioxide
