The Vandoros Store does business with the environment in mind. We are committed to improving our practices and are continually educating ourselves on new ways in which we can reduce our impact on the environment.
Together with our manufacturers, we question ways in which we can employ increasingly sustainable practices. Here are some of the practices we have implemented within our range of products...
Our papers are made of materials from well-managed FSC certified forests – the “gold standard” for wood harvested from forests that are responsibly managed, socially beneficial, environmental conscious and economically viable.
All non-metallic colours printed onto our wrapping papers are produced with water-based inks. As a compound, water-based ink is more gentle on the environment than petroleum based inks – they are free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which adversely affect the environment and human health. In addition because these inks are water soluble, no special chemicals are required for it’s clean up, keeping other potentially harmful substances out of waste and water supply.
In the production of our wrapping papers, our primary manufacturer employs a zero waste
method with left over ink used in the production of a secondary product - a packaging film. The colour of this film is silver, so the ink colour doesn’t need to be pure. Other waste, paper and film, is managed by the local recycling company.
Our most recent improvement is the introduction of our recycled PET ribbon range. Together with our primary textile manufacturer, we have been able to produce a product that is made of recycled plastic bottles.
By collecting post-consumer bottles from different locations around the world, they’re washed and
shredded into small flakes, then melted and formed into chips, to be melted again and extruded through tiny holes to make strands of yarn – the yarns are then woven together to create our PET grosgrain range of ribbons.
This method can turn 50 unwanted bottles, destined to landfill, in to 142 meters of ribbon!
We encourage the recycling or re-use of our products after use.
Please contact us for any further information relating to our sustainable practices and commitments.
Certain paper products are able to be recycled and we strongly encourage the reuse of our non-recyclable products such as textile ribbons which can be used again and again or re-purposed for craft or sewing projects.
As our wrapping papers are all without coatings and free from foiling, they can be recycled however, we recommend first checking this with your local council or recycling centre.
Please refer to this info article for additional information.
Our gift bags (which do not contain foiling) can also be recycled and this can be easily identified with the recycling symbol located at the base of the bag.
We encourage the recycling or re-use of our products.
Vandoros products are produced in Asia, and then imported to Australia. (mainly from China and Taiwan)
Vandoros wrapping papers, gift bags, tags and ribbons are all
designed in house by our creative design team in Sydney, Australia.
Lead by our creative director Stephanie Vandoros, all products are designed and created to our specifications ensuring cohesion across all product categories.

You are in the right place for beautiful gift-wrapping supplies such as wrapping paper, ribbons, gift tags and bags.
Additionally, consider investing in two pairs of scissors > one pair that you can allocate to cutting wrapping paper and the other to cutting your ribbon.
When you use scissors regularly to cut paper, they will get blunt more quickly and blunt scissors can become a real pain when used to cut ribbon. If you allocate a pair for each, then your ribbon scissors will remain sharp and ready for the task.
Also consider using a sticky tape that is specially formualted for wrapping paper. Our Vandoros wrapping papers are lovely and thick, but not all sticky tapes will adhere properly if they just aren't sticky enough.
We have developed a super-sticky tape that is up to the task. Our sticky tape is specially formulated for gift wrapping and will work beautifully with our wrapping papers. you can find it here.
The Vandoros Store does not offer this service however, we have published some tutorial/how-to videos on our instagram to show you some tips and tricks to elevate your wrapping skills.
