Pitch: 

A new Grand Rapids company, enfold, makes high quality reusable gift wrap from 100% organic cotton, allowing presents to be beautifully wrapped in no time at all and with no additional supplies.

enfold was started by David and Amy Wilstermann, residents of Grand Rapids, Michigan, after the combined frustrations of always having to locate wrapping supplies and the pile of unrecyclable materials left after gift giving had commenced.
“We’re a new company looking to make gift giving more fun and more beautiful. And to us, fun and beautiful not only means making a product that is easy to use and crafted impeccably, but also one made in a way that is sustainable and ethical.”
The products are designed in Grand Rapids, made of organic cotton, sewn in NYC, and currently available online at www.enfoldgiftwrap.com. The gift wraps come in two sizes and fit many items from books, kindles, and iPads to department store shirt boxes and small laptops.

If each family in the US used just two fewer feet of ribbon, 38,000 miles of ribbon would be saved, enough to tie a bow around the entire planet. If every American family wrapped just 3 presents in reusable materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields. (http://bgm.stanford.edu/pssi_faq_holiday_waste) According to the Clean Air Council, "in the US, an additional 5 million tons of waste is generated during the holidays. Four million tons of this is wrapping paper and shopping bags."

enfold seeks to reduce the amount garbage typically ignored yet inextricably linked with gift giving while at the same time, making gift wrapping more enjoyable and beautiful.
