Corporate gifts
Sustainable corporate gifts made from rescued paper
Employee gifts, client gifts and promotional items made from paper that already exists: surplus stock from print shops or your own company’s paper stock. Made in Germany and Austria; colour and paper vary from batch to batch.
Promotional items made from existing material
Conventional promotional items start with an order for new material. Our production starts with a stock check: the print shops we work with hold sheets from completed print runs, misprints, sample sheets and surplus stock. These stocks become notebooks, pads and booklets for your company — without new pulp for the production run.
As no additional paper is bought, the choice depends on stock. That is what sets these products apart from catalogue items: colour, weight and surface depend on what is actually available. See the overview of available papers for current stock.
From your own paper stock
Many companies have paper on site: outdated catalogues, excess printed materials and surplus pallets from earlier campaigns. This material can become a product that carries the company’s own story. For the Marc O'Polo Member Book, we processed five pallets of the brand’s own material.
The process is the same as for surplus paper from print shops: inspect the material, agree the size and production methods, then produce the run. Read more about directly reusing existing sheets on the impact page.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about corporate gifts
What makes these corporate gifts sustainable?
The products are made from paper that already exists: surplus stock from print shops or paper stock from your own company. The production run reuses existing paper rather than having new paper produced.
Can we use our own paper stock?
Yes. For the Marc O'Polo Member Book, we processed five pallets of the company’s own material. If you have outdated catalogues, misprints or surplus pallets, we can assess what could be made from them.
What is the minimum order quantity?
From 50 copies. The actual quantity depends on the available material and is agreed after inspecting the paper.
Can we include our logo?
Yes. Common methods include embossing, screen printing, risography and letterpress — the paper determines which method is suitable. We clarify what is possible after inspecting the material.
How does an enquiry work?
Use the form in the business section to describe the occasion, required quantity and timeframe. We usually respond within 1–2 working days with an assessment of materials, production methods and timing.
