The Journey of an Order: From Print to Post

Ever wondered what happens after you click “order” on your favourite eco-friendly stationery? At Making Meadows, every purchase is given the personal touch, from our Surrey studio to your doorstep. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the journey your order takes, showcasing our commitment to quality, sustainability, and customer care.

Once you place your order on our website, it’s sent straight to our Surrey studio. Whether you’ve chosen personalised writing paper, a themed stationery set, or a gift box, we start processing your request.

Every product begins as an original painting or illustration, designed in-house. For personalised items, your chosen name or message is carefully added to the design. Using large, professional printers, we print your stationery on premium paper, always in small batches to ensure quality and reduce waste.

Before anything leaves the studio, each order is checked with care. We ensure personalisation is perfect, colours are vibrant, and every sheet, envelope, or sticker meets our high standards. This attention to detail means you receive stationery that’s as beautiful as it is functional.

Your order is then packed using plastic free materials, often in a stylish gift box or wrapped in delicate tissue paper. We include any extras, like coloured envelopes or stickers, and always make sure everything arrives in pristine condition. If you order over £45, you qualify for free UK delivery.

Orders are processed within 1-2 days and dispatched via Royal Mail’s 48 hour tracked service, with the option to upgrade to 24 hour tracking. We ship internationally, too, with care taken to ensure your stationery arrives safely wherever you are. To see if we ship to you, check out our delivery information.

Within just a few days, your carefully prepared order arrives, ready for you to enjoy or gift to someone special. We love knowing our stationery helps you connect, celebrate, and create memories, while supporting sustainable, UK made craftsmanship.
