Precycle Your Greeting Cards, Gift Cards, and Gift Card Holders!
What Are Wrapsacks Reusable Cards?
A reusable alternative to disposable greeting cards and gift card holders.
You've carefully chosen a thoughtful, earth-friendly gift ... you've wrapped it in a reusable gift bag ... why give it with a card that will be tossed immediately, or possibly reused once before being recycled or thrown out? Instead, use a beautiful and endlessly reusable cloth greeting card from Wrapsacks that is a gift in itself!
Gorgeous, hand-dyed batik cloth card covers.
A broad array of styles for any occasion.
Helpful Velcro button closure.
Your personal handwritten or computer-printed message
goes on a single sheet of paper inside, easily replaced
when the card is reused.
Inner pocket for cash, store purchase card, or business card.
Perfect for giving store gift cards as a wrapped gift!

What is Precycling?
Precycle before you recycle!
Precycling is trying to reduce waste by "pre-thinking" our purchases. While recycling is, of course, a positive thing, it still requires energy to transport the materials, melt them down and then re-manufacture items. Precycling tries to avoid the amount of stuff that gets chucked into landfills AND the recycling bin to begin with. Here are some tips:
Buy in bulk. Avoid individually wrapped items.
Buy items that come in recyclable packaging
instead of non-recyclable.
Avoid junk mail.
Use a computer instead of "real" magazines and newspapers.
Bring your own utensils with you instead of using plastic ones.
Use cloth handkerchiefs and napkins.
And of course, reduce and reuse as much as you can, first!
