These are the zines I've made.
You can buy them by contacting me, and it's worth asking even if there are none left in stock right now - I might be able to print more easily.
Zine materials and packaging
Where possible I do my best to think low-impact when making and posting zines.
- Zines are printed on 100% recycled paper, which is usually 120gsm for durability and quality.
- Most zines are stitch-bound, partly because staplers hate me, but also because:
- metal isn't renewable;
- cotton is renewable;
- I'm working through a huge cotton stash;
- when recycling a zine, staples are harder to remove than cotton thread;
- even if the "cotton" is polyester, it is recyclable in fabric recycling bins.
- My home (and therefore my printer) is powered by renewable electricity (Good Energy).
- Zines are wrapped with repurposed card to prevent damage in the post.
- Zines are wrapped in compostable plastic wrap that can be composted at home.
- Zines are posted in a reused envelope, or if none are available, a recycled envelope.
- Envelopes and parcels are sealed with gum if new or with paper packing tape if reused.
