QR Zipper partners with American Floral Endowment on Sustainabloom donations

The American Floral Endowment announced a new corporate sponsorship agreement with QR Zipper, a technology company bridging physical gifts with digital messages, in support of AFE’s Sustainabloom initiative and other industry sustainability efforts.

As part of the partnership, $0.01 from every QR Message sold by QR Zipper will be donated to AFE’s Sustainabloom initiative to further its mission of sustainability education, environmental responsibility and industry advancement in floriculture.

“This partnership is an exciting step forward in combining technology with purpose,” said Marcin Malicki, founder of QR Zipper. “By supporting AFE’s Sustainabloom initiative, we’re not only enhancing the gift-giving experience with QR technology — we’re also giving back to the floral community in a meaningful way.”

As of March 15, 2025, QR Zipper will issue quarterly donations to AFE, along with transparent reporting on QR Message sales and the associated contribution. In return, AFE will recognize QR Zipper as a sustainability-focused corporate partner across its website, social media and newsletters.

“We’re thrilled to welcome QR Zipper as a corporate partner,” said AFE Executive Director Debi Chedester. “Their commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with our mission, and their support will help us continue critical initiatives that benefit the entire floral industry.”

The collaboration also opens the door to co-branded marketing, joint sustainability campaigns and educational content that bridges consumer innovation and industry stewardship. QR Zipper will feature the Sustainabloom logo and messaging on select product packaging and promotional materials, with design approvals from AFE.
