It is estimated that 93% of consumers in the U.S. purchase or receive a gift card in a given year, making them the most requested gift for the past eight years.

Now, companies have another option to customize the production of their gift cards to align with their sustainability commitments. Monadnock Paper company has announced their Envi Cards, which are made of FSC-certified paper rather than plastic or PVC materials.

Envi Cards can include features such magnetic stripes, scratch panels, bar codes, and signature panels. The cards can also be embossed, foil stamped, and laminated creating holographic effects. They even maintain their function after being submerged in water.

In addition to being FSC-certified, Envi Cards are manufactured carbon neutral using 100 percent renewable Green-e certified wind powered electricity under a third-party certified ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. Learn more about Envi gift cards.
