Why Choose Blake
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. -
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.

Sustainability and the Environment
OUR POLICY
We at Blake are very conscious of the need to be sustainable in our practice; we are a market leader supplying sustainable postal packaging products to the market and therefore we MUST practice what we preach.
We can personally say that it bring an inner smile to know that what Blake is doing is not only respecting the environment but adding to its grandeur.
Many of us have children and some of us have the privilege to have grandchildren, and therefore it is our responsibility to ensure Blake leave a legacy that future generations can enjoy for many years.
In our Sustainability & The Environment section, you will note a selection of our sustainable goals that we have already achieved, however at Blake we never feel we are done, but rather stretch ourselves to achieve more ambitious achievements for the greater good of all.
At Blake we bring a smile to the next generation.
OUR GREEN VALUES
Here at Blake, we pride ourselves on being a truly sustainable business.
Our mission is to be;
“POSITIVELY PASSIONATE, CONSISTENTLY CARING AND SUSTAINABLY SOUND FROM BEGINNING TO END”
We aim for absolute sustainability in everything we do, at every touch point from the first contact with Blake through to the delivery of final product.
We believe that sustainability isn’t just about meeting current needs, however, but more importantly, it is about ensuring we are here for the long term and are paving the way for a bright tomorrow…
More than just using resources wisely, minimizing our impact on the world around and offering environmentally friendly products, important though these are, it also means having a truly sustainable business model, having financial sustainability and being identified as a company who have an ability to be agile and make decisions quickly.

SUSTAINABLE PREMISES Here at Blake, we have always sought to ensure our carbon footprint is kept to a minimum, and we have adopted a number of strategies to achieve this. Our head offices in Yeovil have been designed and built to exacting performance standards, including many special features.
|
EVOLVE KEY ACHIEVEMENTS Keeping a close eye on the environmental impact of everything we do is Blake’s Evolve Team. The driving force behind our investigations into new initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint and perform in an increasingly sustainable way, they continually challenge us to keep raising the bar on all social and environmental issues!

RECYCLING
Recycling has always been something that we embrace and participate in to the very greatest practical extent.
One of Blake’s main aims is to reduce our impact on landfill and promote the recovery of valuable resources. In order to achieve this, we use a local recycling company to bale and recycle all of our plastic and cardboard waste, which has allowed us to recycle a total of 1494 tonnes! (that’s the equivalent of 374 adult female elephants)
And you can recycle too! Nowadays, most products include a recycling symbol on them.
With a wide range of different symbols which vary depending on how each product is best disposed of, we help you to identify what the most commonly used symbols mean in our Recycling Symbols Explained section below...
ISO’s and Accreditations
Blake is dedicated to the practise of sound environmental stewardship. In furthering this aim, we endeavour to only source and market products that are manufactured by companies with specified environmental policies.
As a company, we are ISO9001, ISO14001 and ISO27001 accredited.
