The Eco-Friendly SkyCafe

August 12, 2013

Skycafe with Cardinals

The SkyCafe & Mandarin Bird Feeders are known for their beauty, large capacity, and their patented squirrel-proof design, but one feature that many don’t realize is that it’s an eco-friendly bird feeder.  These squirrel proof bird feeders are made in the USA, from 100% recycled plexiglas.

Here at Arundale Products, we strive to be green where ever possible.   We have a recycling bin at every desk, an earth friendly cartridgeless office laser printer, and we’re even in the beginning stages of transitioning all our retail & wholesale ordering to become 100% online (still have a long ways to go on that, but one day we’ll get there).   It was our decision to shift all our SkyCafe & Mandarin bird feeders, along with our squirrel-proof baffles and transparent birdbaths to 2nd generation plexiglas that truely set a new standard for our company.

Skycafe Baffle being created

Plexiglas, like all plastics, can’t be recycled.

Incorrect, the process to recycle plexiglas does exist and this 2nd generation material is equally useable.

But doesn’t plexiglas turn yellow?

Never.  Plexiglas & recycled (2nd generation) plexiglas remains clear.  The myth about yellowing is believed to have been started because back in the 50’s & 60’s clear styrene was sold as a plexiglas look-alike, that alternative material did yellow very quickly.   Arundale is an American family business, we take pride in our feeders and we do not substitute with lesser mock materials.

Plexiglas & 2nd generation Plexiglas are able to withstand the effects of weather, sun, and a wide range of outdoor temperatures.  This permanence derives from the acrylic resin’s inherent stability.

New SkyCafe Baffle

Doesn’t Plexiglas scratch?  

It does. It can also be re-polished rather easily.

Isn’t 2nd generation plexiglas less resilient to a fall?

Unfortunately, Yes.  The original SkyCafe’s & Mandarin bird feeders were produced with virgin resin and if knocked out of a tree onto concrete, they would bounce.   We were aware of the structural change to our product, but we decided it’s a small price to pay for being green and making any effort we can to help keep plexiglas out of the landfills.

To compensate for the risk of breakage we adjusted our company replacement policy to be more neighborly when it comes to breakage.  We have a 100% squirrel damage warranty and we’re very accommodating when working together with retail stores, and helping keep customers happy.

Squirrel proof baffles

We also have added several clever squirrel chewing detouring tips on each feeder instruction sheet included with all our feeders and we strongly advise our customers to use the chain provided with the feeder.  If an extension is needed, DO NOT use rope, squirrels eat through that like candy; add more chain or metal cable instead.

Sandstone Bird Coasters: High Quality & High Definition

July 29, 2013

These fine sandstone coasters protect your furniture and capture the exquisite detail and brilliant colors of our natural subjects. Only the dye sublimation process produces a photo quality image and durable hard surface.  Water beads up beautifully around the base of the glass and does not run off of the edges. Condensation does not absorb into the coaster as with other coasters. Simply wipe excess moisture when finished.  Coasters are 4″ in diameter and 1/4″ thick. Each coaster comes with a cork backing.

Birds on sandstone coasters

Summer Sandstone Coaster Collection includes four original Jim Rathert designs: Bluebird, Cardinal, Goldfinch, & Indigo Blue Bunting featured on a cheerful bright days, surrounded by the full bloom of summer.

Sand stone coasters birds

The Jim Rathert Winter Sandstone Coaster Collection includes four original Jim Rathert designs: Blue Jay, Bluebird, Cardinal, & Chickadee featured on a brisk shining winter day.

This unique, state-of-the-art process features the highly rated polymer formulation that provides resistance to UV light damage and scratching.  Thess fine grain man-made sandstone is round and has slightly beveled edges.  Each image is baked into the coaster by multi-step process called dye sublimation. This is the only process that provides such detail, rich color and permanence.  A cork disk is placed on bottom to protect fine furniture.  Individually Designed & Printed in the U.S.A.

About the Artist: Jim was a biologist and photographer with Missouri Department of Conservation for more than 30 years . Now retired, he enjoys making useful products featuring his bird photographs. Drawing upon his passion for native birds, Jim creates unique designs using his personal collections of photographs and hand prints each coaster. Each coaster is individually printed by nature photographer Jim Rathert in Missouri. Jim is a bit of a throw-back to an earlier time in that he enjoys doing all steps of the creative process. He takes the photos, creates the coaster designs himself.

Packaged in clear plastic box wrapped with raffia.

The Feed the Birds Flag Conundrum: Our Search for an American-Made Garden Flag Manufacturer

December 19, 2011

We need an U.S. Feed the Birds Garden Flag Manufacturer

Here at Arundale Products, we’re very dedicated to making our product line American Made.  We try to, but man, is it difficult.  As a small family owned business we make a genuine effort to ensure that as many products as possible are made in the U.S.   Unfortunately, the business ways of the world come with many irksome obstacles.

One of our largest and most pressing obstructions is finding a U.S. manufacturer for our Feed the Birds Garden Flag.  Our customers love the image and they LOVE the Garden Flag, so much so, we sold out of the flags some time ago.  We’re not inclined to admit the sheer number of back orders we have for this product or the demand we’ve received for other Squirrel Stuff images to be printed on garden flags.  The stores are very eager to get this item back on the shelves and we would very much like to get these flag mass produced and start selling them again.

The problem is, we don’t want to give in and send the manufacturing out of the country.

We want to pay a U.S. company with U.S. citizens employees to produce our products.

So we’re putting out the word.

Does anyone know a good garden flag manufacturer in the United States?

We’ve had several almost options, but so far no one has come forth that can make the Feed the Birds Garden Flag and meet the correct specifications we need to have it look like the quality product that it is and enable us to have this be a United States made product.

Here are the exact specifications:

 12″ x 18″

 Machine Washable

 Durable for Outside Use

 High Quality Print Image

 The image MUST be viewable from both sides at the same degree of saturation.

Front Side of the Feed the Birds Garden Flag

Front Side of the Feed the Birds Garden Flag

What does that mean? – In the past the flag is two sided, on the front the Feed the Bird image can be seen and the text is reversed.

Back Side of the Feed the Birds Garden Flag

Back Side of the Feed the Birds Garden Flag

On the back side the Feed the Birds image can be seen, with the same level of color intensity (not faded) only the reverse image is visible and the text is reversed.  It almost appears that the ink has bleed through to the back and retains the exact same degree of clarity as the front.

 Garden Flag Examples

If you are a manufacturer that can product the type of product at these specification (or you know someone that can) Please (or have them) contact Marc at the office.

(314) 652-1220

We would be very interested in seeing if we can do business.
