Environmental management

ISO14001

interloopmailer® holds ISO 14001 certification, the international standard for environmental management. That means every stage of how we design, print and produce our mailers is managed to reduce our environmental impact – an independently audited commitment that we review and improve year after year, so brands can be confident that choosing interloopmailer® supports their own sustainability goals.

We also offer fully sustainable print options for every interloopmailer®. Recycled and responsibly sourced papers and eco-friendly inks let you create a mailer that’s as kind to the planet as it is memorable. Because interloopmailer® is designed to be kept, played with and passed around rather than thrown away, it gives your message a longer life and makes every piece you send count.

The interloopmailer® has reinvented direct marketing… It has given life to boring and lifeless marketing collaterals.

Very impressive product and a first of its kind idea.

This submission was clear, concise and had strong supporting claim to its merit. Not only do they have a patent, but they have highlighted use cases across technology, social and philanthropic industries to demonstrate how unique the interloopmailer® really is.

Amazing company with some of the biggest brands as their clients.

UK Intellectual Property Office

Patent Approval

The UK Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO) has granted Graham Shapiro a patent for his interloopmailer® invention. The patent recognises the interloopmailer® as a genuinely original idea: a unique folding mechanism that turns a flat mailer into an interactive, endlessly rotating experience. It’s the product of years spent designing, testing and refining, and it protects the format so that only interloopmailer® can offer it. For the brands we work with, that means a mailer you won’t find anywhere else, backed by recognised innovation.
