Alternative Packaging Solutions

Very helpful and knowledgeable. Best place I've found for stationary supplies.

An Aladdin's cave of a shop! Great choice of art materials for all abilities and ages. Competitively priced (cheaper than Amazon for my 100% cotton watercolour paper) Friendly, helpful service. Highly recommended.

A gem of a store with very helpful owners.

I can not believe it has taken me two decades of Alton residency to discover this fantastic place.

Competitive prices and a great selection of goods. Hopefully, balsa wood will again become available in the near future!

Thoroughly recommended.

Although the name of this establishment is Alternative Packaging Solutions - it’s actually an ART SHOP! Yes it has loads of bubble wrap etc etc but it also has loads of equipment for the artist young and old, and lots of coloured pens, paper stationery etc for anyone. They also do printing. My grandson would love it in there if only I had found this place before I moved away from Alton which I do next week
It’s snuck behind Waitrose with parking in front and the guys inside are really friendly and helpful.
Go on … have a look - you’ll be amazed!

Utterly fantastic shop located behind Waitrose in Alton. They sell packing accessories aswell as art in their shop. It is an Aladins Cave in there. Highly recommend that you visit this fantastic shop. Say hello to Waffle while you are there he is the newest member of staff.

Love visiting this shop. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Plus the new member of staff Waffle, is so adorable 😍. I highly recommend this shop for all your packing and art supplies.

Great shop, well worth a visit

They have everything !!! And if they don't they order it for next day delivery. A brilliant shop to have on our doorstep - but they are hidden round the back of Waitrose - more people should use them. Brilliant for ALL stationary - office supplies and art supplies.

Good value and seem to stock everything we need - recommend for all your stationery and art supplies.

This place is a treasure trove of art supplies! Everything from paints, brushes, papers, postage supplies. You name it, i bet they have it!

Always really friendly and super helpful, has way more things to choose from than you think.

Fantastic range of packaging, stationery and art supplies. Fair prices. Have used for packaging over the last few years and very pleased. Friendly and very helpful. Got to be best place of art supplies in the area.

Always very friendly and helpful, even if they don't have what you want they will tell you where to find it or order it in for you. Very good service and excellent prices!!

Art supplies, if you need it, they have it. Fantastic find. Brilliant.

A lovely surprise to find such a well stocked art shop. A little treasure with its own parking.

An Aladdin’s Cave of treasures. Very helpful proprietor who was very knowledgeable and guided us to what we required. Will 100% use again.

it's a bit hard to reach, but entirely recommended. not much space to move, but the people there are so lovely and there's great selection of art stuff.

Such a useful shop to have in town. Staff ever so friendly and helpful. Another one of the little shops Alton would be lesser without.

An Aladdin's Cave of art products! There is so much to see. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be visiting again.
