Recycled Paper

This kind of material is made from used papers and then reformed into a wide range of packaging boxes.

Use of these materials has caused a decrease in wastage in the recycling process of the product.

Such packaging can be observed as wrap papers, boxes, and bags found in a company using environmentally friendly procedures.

Recycled PET

The recycled PET comes from discarded plastic bottles made from such a process.

They are very strong and can be used for many other purposes.

Besides, it helps to minimize pollution by other related items.

Suitable for boxes, containers & food packaging as it is non-toxic.

Printing Solutions For Eco Food Packaging 

For eco food packaging, the print must be crisp and vibrant.

So that your brand and product information stand out from the rest.

Each of the following methods used for printing helps businesses make unique, strong, innovative, and high-quality packaging.

Offset Printing

This type of printing ensures the sharpest quality results.

It works best on bulk orders and massive production.

This method maintains color consistency.

Also, it looks beautiful on cartons, boxes, and bespoke sustainable packaging, which features the brand name.

Digital Printing

This printing method has speed and also flexibility in terms of design.

The best part is that this works for both small and large green packaging.

Add-On Features In Sustainable Food Packaging

Sustainable food packaging can be so much more than just a simple container for food.

In fact, it can also have smart add-ons to increase practicality, safety, and presentation.

Window Cut Design

Allows customers to actually see inside the package.

It adds confidence in consumers and can enhance visual appeal & ensure a "unique" appearance!

Bakery products, snacks, and takeaway meals work well in window cut packaging.

Handles and Carry Options

Handles can be attached to the eco friendly packaging to instantly improve the ease of carrying.

Customers appreciate additional features that increase convenience & overall packaging value.

So, many food companies have designed packaging with handles as well as carrier options.

For example, on boxes, bags, and delivery packaging.

Tamper-Evident Seals

Tamper-evident seals on food packaging guarantee the safe and secure transit of goods.

Any attempt to tamper with the packaging will be immediately obvious.

This assures customers that their food products have not been opened.

Compostable Liners

Compostable liners can be used in the packaging to ensure that food doesn't soak through.

The packaging with these liners protects food items from oils and moisture.

Our compostable packaging degrades naturally into the environment and promotes green practices within the food industry.

Restaurants can benefit from this for oily or damp food products.

Best customer service and LOVE the end result

Paul was amazing from start to finish. First of all, he quoted me a competitive price on my custom reed diffuser packaging. He gave me the best price in the market. He was helpful in answering my gazillion questions (very quickly) and he was very patient with me when it came to my design requests. In all honesty, I thought he would give up on me at some point but he didn't :-). Then he showed me my mockups, communicated when they were in printing and off for shipping. He's very transparent, super nice and helpful person. I will keep him as my permanent contact for customized packaging designs when I need restocking. Definitely order from him. Paul You're a Legend!
