FAQs

What material is the vase sleeve made of?

The vase sleeve is made from recycled cardboard.

Can I use this with any type of bottle?

It fits most standard plastic bottle diameters, from 250ml to 2-liter bottles. You may need to cut it to adjust the height.

How do I change the look of the vase?

Each sleeve has a different design on each side. Simply flip the sleeve to reveal the alternative pattern.

Is this waterproof?

No, the sleeve is made of cardboard and is not waterproof. It should be kept away from direct contact with water.

Can I put real flowers with water in it?

This product is designed to cover a plastic bottle that holds water. Do not immerse the cardboard sleeve itself in water.

How is it packaged for shipping?

It is packaged minimally and shipped flat, making it suitable for fitting inside an envelope.

What are the dimensions of the sleeve when flat?

The product information states it is 'Totally flat to fit inside an envelope with a card,' implying a compact, flat form factor suitable for mailing.

How do I dispose of it after use?

The packaging can be perforated and recycled, and the cardboard sleeve itself is recyclable.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve does not fit bottle diameter.

While designed for most diameters, very wide or narrow bottles may not fit snugly. Consider using a bottle with a more standard profile.

Sleeve is too tall for the bottle.

Carefully trim the sleeve to the desired height using scissors or a craft knife. Ensure the cut is straight for a neat finish.

Sleeve appears flimsy after cutting.

Ensure the cut is clean and not jagged. The sleeve is designed to be decorative; for very heavy or tall arrangements, consider reinforcing the base or using a sturdier internal bottle.

Color transfer or damage from moisture.

Avoid prolonged contact with water or damp surfaces. Use only a slightly damp cloth for cleaning and ensure the sleeve is fully dry afterwards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Select a clean, empty plastic bottle (e.g., water, soda, juice bottle).
