Recyclable and Recycled content packaging has never been more popular. It’s of extreme importance to many companies to have a green approach to their business and their products, and equally important to relay that message to their customers in their message and branding. Nearly all of the designs we see, especially 1 color prints on kraft board will include some form of the following:
Please Recycle Me
Made From Recycled Content
Reuse or Recycle
Fully Recyclable, Please Don’t Throw Away
We love this approach and sensibility and always get excited to see the unique ways companies incorporate this eco-friendly branding into their designs.
Branding That Reflects Your Mission
All of our corrugated mailers, paperboard boxes, paper mailer envelopes and rigid envelopes are always recyclable, whether custom printed (with water-based inks) or plain, unprinted. Beyond the recyclability and recycled content of your packaging, keep in mind that there are other aspects that the consumer will notice during that all important unboxing experience. Mainly, the appearance of your product within the packaging. Is there a lot of wasted or unnecessary space? Do you use excessive void fill? Is the mailer reusable or resealable? Is your packaging presenting your product to be consistent with your brand/mission? There is nothing worst than an eco-friendly/green product that is packaged and delivered in something excessive (wasted board/materials/paper) or environmentally neglectful. We’ve written extensively on the subject of right-sizing your packaging for this reason.
