Calepino

Calepino decided to support the local community, to think their approach on an human scale, in a fair way, and to reduce all transport related to the manufacturing of the product. The family business has its own artisan workshop installed in their house from the 70s. This is where the notebooks are printed and pressed.

The cardboard comes from a cardboard factory created at the beginning of the 20th century.

Before leaving the workshop, each notebook is individually controlled, then each case is folded and assembled by hand.

Sustainability

The raw materials used (cardboard and paper) are of high quality and 100% recycled.

The cardboard shaped for the covers and the cases all bear the Eco-label “Ange Bleu”, and entirely recycled and void of any dangerous substances.

The paper comes from durable forests, the paper is whitened without any chlorine and comes from 100% recycled fibers (FSC, PEFC and ISO 14001 labels).

The product is printed in joy and happiness on Heidelberg printing machines with vegetable-based ink.

Furthermore, in order to avoid using plastic, the notebooks are not stored in packaging film but in recycled cardboard.
