Artwork packaging:

- Please use eco friendly packaging rather than bubble wrap or plastic wrap, such as boxes, sheets and reusable folders. Bubble wrap and plastic wrap is also difficult for us to reuse and we dislike handing artwork back without the same quality of packaging it came to us in. We are happy to accept artwork not packaged too.
