The All Colour Envelopes Blog

We always enjoy seeing our customers in the press and particularly when our envelopes are a feature too! So when we caught sight of our coloured envelopes, which are part of the Charlotte Holmes Adventure Box game, reviewed in The Guardian recently we were stoked.

We’re moments away from the next lockdown and from retail business perspective the timing is awful. Closing doors in the key segment of the year – that run up to Christmas that is so fruitful in retail terms we almost have a national holiday to celebrate it! Black Friday has become black week (and even black month) in the past couple of years. This is when sales soar and we rely on this period.

Rap legend Nas has collaborated with Pantone Colour Institute to create a custom shade “ULTRA BLACK” to honour the black community and represent the unification of people.

These are times like no other and as small business owners we are all trying to navigate around the most extreme circumstances. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought the world to a standstill and the pressure is on to keep everyone safe and well, rearrange business logistics, work remotely, keep up to date with ever changing guidelines, keep a super-keen eye on finances and also keep your business afloat. Your staff, family (and the British economy) needs your business to be there on the other side of this!

We wanted to advise you that despite the unprecedented business restraints we are all operating in due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, here at All Colour Envelopes we are pleased to say that we are maintaining full production facilities and continuing to offer our customers a full range of services.
