Eco-Friendly Gift Wrapping Business For Sale

Please quote reference B06854

CoGoGo is very excited to offer to the market Eco-Wrap, an instantly successful and highly desirable new business opportunity which is supporting  the UK’s growing demand for more sustainable and recyclable products.

Eco-Wrap was founded by our client in 2018 following her watching a video that went viral on social media highlighting the fact that the vast majority of wrapping paper could not be recycled. After searching for recyclable gift wrap suppliers it was quickly apparent there was a gap in the market and the new business began!

Eco-Wrap offers Eco-Friendly wrapping paper which is 100% recyclable and sustainable, available in 4m rolls lengths with a large choice of their own unique designs available in vibrant colours.

The business concentrates on supplying both High Street retailers, smaller independent retailers and direct customer orders via their own website.

In 2021, our client secured a very exciting 12 month contract to supply a popular high street store, the relationship has proven to be very successful and they have already agreed a new 12 month agreement until January 2023 to supply a further 60,000 units. We believe the demand from the popular high street store customers will continue to grow and therefore acts as one of the main key selling points of this business.

• Wrapping paper - made from 50gsm recycled kraft paper, vegan friendly & recyclable, printed with water based inks
