In this blog post, we'll share valuable tips on how to source high-quality materials and supplies to elevate your crafting experience.
-
Prioritise Local Suppliers:
Supporting small and local businesses like FindPak not only benefits your community but also ensures faster delivery and reduced environmental impact. Seek out British suppliers who specialize in crafting materials to find unique, high-quality items.
-
Check Material Composition:
When purchasing items like chains and findings, always examine the material composition. Look for options made from materials like sterling silver, brass, or stainless steel for durability and a polished finish.
-
Quality Over Quantity:
It's tempting to buy in bulk, but consider quality over quantity. Invest in a smaller quantity of premium materials and supplies rather than compromising on craftsmanship with lower-quality options.
-
Read Customer Reviews:
Before making a purchase, read customer reviews and testimonials. They often provide insights into the quality and reliability of the products offered. Our website features honest reviews to help you make informed decisions.
-
Seek Recommendations:
Join online crafting communities or forums where enthusiasts share their experiences. Fellow crafters can recommend trusted suppliers and offer advice on sourcing high-quality materials.
-
Ask for Samples:
Some suppliers offer sample kits, allowing you to assess the quality of their materials before committing to a larger purchase. This can be especially useful when buying beads or other unique craft supplies. Here at FindPak we are happy to supply free of charge samples for any product that would usually be supplied in packs of 100 or more - just ask us, quoting the SKU code, by emailing sale@findpak.co.uk.
-
Pay Attention to Pricing:
While quality is paramount, pricing matters too. Beware of excessively cheap supplies, as they may not meet your standards. Strike a balance between quality and affordability.
-
Consider Sustainability:
Crafting responsibly is essential. Look for eco-friendly materials and suppliers committed to sustainable practices. Opt for recycled or upcycled options when available. At FindPak, we do our very best to ensure that our packaging materials are sustainable. Most of our smaller orders are delivered in padded envelopes which are made for recyclable materials and a recyclable themselves.
