The Story of Blake
A story of entrepreneurialism. The story of Blake all began from the attic of a house. Refined through four generations, today one in eight of the envelopes used in the UK is a Blake envelope. From waste paper, to perfect paper, to folded paper and packaging. We keep expanding.
Blake envelope, paper and packaging products have been refined through three generations…
Quality
Consistency of product is paramount to us and stringent manufacturing criteria ensures this is maintained. All of our grades are made from specified papers, some of which have been specially developed for us to meet market needs. The internationally recognised Blake registered opaque is not only attractive in its appearance but serves to enhance the whiteness of any paper and provides maximum security to the envelope’s content.
Product Range
With over 1600 different envelope products available from stock we have one of the largest ranges in the world. Even in the most developed postal markets such as the UK, 40 percent of our product range is unique to Blake. We have made envelopes exciting by introducing products that the world has never seen before and this constant innovation continues.
Environment
Blake is dedicated to the practice of sound environmental stewardship and this can be testified in our move to our current Headquarters, which has been built embracing the latest 'best' environmental practices, thus reducing our Carbon Footprint by over 40 percent.
Accredited with the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and FSC® and PEFC chain of custody certification only confirms our commitment to the environment. All this sound environmental foundation makes it only right that we stock the largest range of environmental envelope products in Europe. Read more about our policies here.
Stockholding
With 8,500 pallets in stock - equating to over 400 million envelopes - we can cater for the biggest orders. Long lead times can be a thing of the past when dealing with Blake due to our depth of stock.
Innovation
Constant advancement since our conception in 2000 has made Blake one of the most progressive and innovative companies in the envelope market. With a team of loyal, dedicated staff, the underlying drive which initially established Blake, continues to ensure we move ahead.
More than just an envelope company, Blake Envelopes is now a registered brand.
