Small but mighty: the personal touch of a family-run business
Originally called The Cutting Edge, Eco-Craft was founded by Lorraine and Kevin McCarthy in 1991. From the very beginning, we had sustainability in mind, choosing to work with recycled paper and card for our greetings cards and gifts. Eco-Craft is now run by their son Liam and his wife, Sammi.
Liam grew up in the industry, going to trade shows and spending time in the same unit we still work from today. He can usually be found on a machine - manufacturing or tinkering. Sammi comes from a creative background and can usually be found in the office, looking after the admin and everything design-related, including the ever-popular stickers that let you know who’s picked and packed your order.
Together with our small team of local employees, we work hard to ensure care and attention go into every order and product.
Our story.

It doesn’t make sense to ship plastic-free products in plastic packaging - so we don’t.
We’re so proud of our eco-friendly packaging that we use it for our own orders. It allows us to fully test products before we launch, and also keep a close eye on quality. Using our packaging in a real life warehouse environment helps constantly upgrade designs to help maximise efficiency.
