Our mission

What we noticed.

Think of all the times you have been handed a badly cut t-shirt you will never wear, or a plastic USB stick straight out of 2005 that worked exactly once…

More than 2,000 companies specialize in business gifts, and far too often their catalogs are long lists of pointless products that do nothing good for the planet.

“At Atelier Box, we just want
to do things well and simply.”

OUR SOLUTION?

Curating a selection of products that are customizable, good-looking, useful, responsible, and that the people you give them to will actually want to keep.
A gift worth keeping is more than an effective marketing tool. It states your company culture and carries your brand values into the room with it.
Give less, but give better!

Our solution.

A CATALOG WORTHY OF A CONCEPT STORE

30% of promotional products end up in the bin (poor quality), and 7 out of 10 textile items are never worn (unpleasant fabric, poor finish, bad fit).

“Sourcing quality products that recipients will want to keep is at the heart of our mission.”

We seek out the best suppliers to put together a selection worthy of a concept store, built for the way companies actually give.

Finding the pieces worth giving takes volume: we have tested thousands of products, and only 5% of them have made it into our catalog.

We want you to be proud of every item you hand to a client or a colleague

Our suppliers

Unlike generalist providers, our catalog runs from white-label products to consumer brands such as Rains, Moleskine, Montblanc, Toblerone, Caran d’Ache, Peugeot, OBUT, Samsonite, Lipault, Opinel and more, with whom we have built genuine partnerships.

“All our products are beautiful, durable, have a story to tell and are sourced transparently.”

RESPECT
FOR THE PLANET

No company can look past its environmental impact today, and each of us owes the planet’s resources the best protection we can manage.

Weighing the environmental side of the business into every decision is not optional for us. It is also a commitment we make to our clients.

Shrinking our environmental footprint means running the business more responsibly, start to finish. We have set ourselves several goals to move toward an operation that respects the planet.

This includes:

European marking workshops.
A range of eco-responsible products, favoring materials such as organic cotton or polyester and plastic bottles turned into textiles,
European production to support a short supply chain,
A 100% responsible textile catalog,

“So every day we work to make 100% of our catalogue
100% eco-responsible.”

MADE IN EUROPE

Our goal:

To source as many suppliers as possible across Europe.

Whether it is water bottles, chocolate or a marking workshop, a short supply chain pays off twice over, economically and environmentally: less transport and fewer greenhouse gas emissions, plus more jobs for the communities doing the work.

MARKING MADE IN EUROPE

The marking workshops we work with every day are all based in EUROPE,

The quality of the branding is checked line by line by our teams, who also ask you to sign off the mock-ups and final proofs before production starts. At every stage we make sure our partners’ branding does your company proud.

Our BOXES

All our boxes are designed by our eco-friendly European partner, whose entire production is based in Europe.

Why cardboard? Across its whole life cycle, from production to recycling, cardboard is by far the most environmentally friendly packaging there is.

It is made up mostly of wood fibers (cellulose), and those fibers come largely from sawmill offcuts or from thinning timber. That makes cardboard an organic and biodegradable material, and even compostable.
