The MOGLabs cateye diode laser offers a new twist in external cavity diode lasers. A cateye reflector and ultranarrow filter replace the alignment-sensitive diffraction grating of conventional Littrow and Littman-Metcalf designs. The CEL is robust, stable, and acoustically inert. You can literally hit it with a hammer and it will stay locked, and it is inherently self-aligning so you can tune tens of nanometres without having to realign. In combination with MOGLabs electronics, the linewidth can be well below 100 kHz. The CEL is available for most wavelengths between 450 to 530nm and 630 to 1620nm, at powers up to 250mW extra-cavity. Enjoy the rock-solid stability normally expected only from DFB and DBR diodes – but with wide-range tunability, order-of-magnitude smaller linewidth, broader range of wavelengths, much lower sensitivity to optical feedback – and much lower diode cost.

Is the tissue acid free?

Yes all our tissue paper is certified acid free

Do you offer design help?

Our in-house team can suggest colour palettes, ribbon combinations, or box sizes free of charge.

Do you provide a gift-wrapping service?

We supply materials only but are unable to do the wrapping for you.

Will you have a pop-up shop again for Christmas?

Yes on-site downstairs – plenty of parking available. Our Christmas Pop-Up runs 1 November – 23 December 2025 at the same 235 Archers Rd, Wairau Valley location.

Is your showroom open to the public?

Yes everyone is welcome. Winter hours Mon-Thurs 10am-4pm, Fri 10am-3pm. Nov-Dec - Mon-Sat 10am-4pm. Trade buyers, Corporate and the general public are welcome.

Do you sell food packaging?

We do stock some items and if food safe certifed we will state this in the product description. If you are wanting large numbers of food packaging you are better to go to a supplier that specialises in this.

Do you offer environmentally friendly packaging?

More than 50 % of our range is recyclable, or made from post-consumer fibre. Look for the trust icons on each product page and check out or Eco collection also.

Can you match my brand colours exactly for printing on ribbon?

We will suggest the closest colour we have from our stocks but cannot print to match exactly.

Can you print my logo on bags, boxes, or ribbon?

We print locally onto selected ribbons, bags and boxes. Send us a vector file (AI, EPS or PDF). Via website > customise> then complete the quotation form and we will get back to you with pricing.

Do you ship internationally?

We don’t currently as each time we look into it is too expensive via courier.

Why does it not give me the option for local pick-up?

Even though you are collecting you need to enter a shipping address for this to show

Can I pick up my order?

Choose “Local Pick up” at checkout. Winter hours (Mon–Thurs, 10 am – 4 pm. Fri 10am-3pm). We’ll email when it’s packed and ready to pick up. If these hours are not workable for you do contact us and we will try to accommodate. Nov and Dec Mon-Sat 10am-4pm.
