At Krafted Ink, we are part of the solution to this environmental crisis. Through our innovative upcycling approach, we repurpose discarded textiles into high-quality, eco-friendly gift packaging and stationery. By doing so, we:


  1. Reduce Textile Waste: We actively divert discarded textiles from landfills, contributing to a reduction in the overall volume of textile waste.
  2. Minimize Carbon Footprint: Our commitment to sustainable materials and responsible production methods helps reduce carbon emissions associated with traditional textile production.
  3. Promote Sustainable Consumption: Our products encourage customers to make eco-conscious choices by opting for sustainable and culturally rich alternatives to conventional gift packaging and stationery.


By upcycling textiles and creating products that people love, we are not only reducing environmental impact but also spreading awareness about the importance of sustainable choices in daily life. Krafted Ink is committed to making a positive difference in the fight against textile waste and carbon emissions.
