DEVON based artisan cheesemaker Quicke’s has increased its mail order operation as demand continues to grow for its traditional cheeses post-lockdowns from customers who have switched to at-home dining experiences (September 2021).

The Newton St. Cyres company is known for its time-honoured methods and recipes as well as innovative ideas including its letterbox cheese packages that offer convenience in a sustainable box.

Kate Rippin, Product Manager at Quicke’s, says:

“Consumer trends are changing and have accelerated during the various lockdowns too. People are now much more tuned into buying online from home and having their food items delivered to them.

“They are now creating dining experiences at home, reclaiming their dining rooms and setting up instagrammable tablescapes to wow their friends and we are delighted to be a part of this experience.”

The branded packaging used for Quicke’s mail order products are designed and manufactured by Newton Print using sustainable materials and a Carbon Balanced production method. These reflect the cheesemaker’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, while providing a high-quality product for customers to enjoy from the comfort of their homes.

Simon Besley, Sales & Marketing Director says:

“To meet this growing customer demand for mail order, our client Quicke’s created a new product so consumers could enjoy the delights of cheese tasting at home.

“We were approached to help develop and produce an on-brand, printed postal box for their new cheese tasting home delivery service that could fit samples through a letterbox and protect the cheese inside while maintaining their design identity.

“Not only do the boxes look the part, delivering on Quicke’s brand values, they are also recyclable and sustainable, thanks in part to our Carbon Balanced initiative.”
