Happy Birthday…wewow turns 5!

On 18^th June, wewow celebrated its 5^th birthday! Here at the wow offices we celebrated with fancy dress and a special lunch. Of course, we used bio-degradable plates, cutlery and cups so that our celebrations were eco-friendly!

Over the 5 years wewow has been trading there have been a lot of developments and exciting changes…having established itself as a leading media packaging supplier, wewow moved into CD/DVD replication and duplication and built a name for itself as a top quality supplier with a reputation for excellent customer service.

In recent years, wewow has developed its own range of bespoke, eco-friendly CD/DVD packaging including; wowPak, WowWallet and the recent addition of the windowed WowWallet.

Now going into our 6^th year we are looking forward to developing our unique range of environmentally friendly packaging and aim to continue promoting green issues throughout the optical media industry.

Bradford…The World’s First ‘City of Film’

Having worked with Pace plc to print and duplicate USBs and DVD-R’s as part of Bradford’s bid to become City of Film we were over the moon to hear of Bradford’s success this month. Bradford is now the world’s first City of Film and only the third city in the UK to be part of UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network.

"Becoming the world's first City of Film is wonderful news for the Bradford district, residents and the local economy. The Council has long recognised the importance of the Creative Industries to the local economy and this accolade will help increase employment opportunities, provide greater international links, boost tourism and raise the district's profile,” said Bradford Council's Executive Member for Environment and Culture, and City of Film Board Member, Councillor Anne Hawkesworth.

Having been the location for films such as Billy Liar, Yanks and The Railway Children and supporting Bradford based film makers and school students to create short films it is wonderful to see that Bradford has received recognition for its efforts.

wewow launches new environmentally-friendly CD/DVD Wallet

Here at wewow we have been very excited about World Environment Day 2009. In the wewow offices we have had a bake sale to raise money for the Forest of Bradford and have spent time actively looking for new ways to reduce our carbon footprint.

We are also pleased to announce the launch of the newest edition to our eco-friendly CD & DVD packaging range - the WowWallet with window. This optical media package can be produced from FSC accredited board or 100% recycled board. The window at the front of the wallet allows the package to be customized by inserting a CD booklet, which can be printed with vegetable based inks, rather than full colour print. Because the wallet itself does not need to be printed with branding, the wallets can be produced in bulk thereby reducing costs and waste. Furthermore, customers can buy the wallets in bulk and simply produce new booklets for new editions of their CD or DVD, rather than having to throw away excess wallets with printed artwork which is no longer appropriate. Therefore, this new product is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for projects of all sizes.

This latest offering from wewow is part of their unique range of bespoke green packaging. Further information can be found at here or can be requested from the wewow sales team.
