If you're a business that's committed to going green, whether you're just starting out or a well-established company looking for environmentally friendly ways to package your products, then you'll be happy to know that the market is growing for packaging and shipping options that are reusable, recyclable, biodegradable, and made from recycled materials. As modern brands and retailers, there's a lot we can do to make an ecological difference. This article explores which ways to help companies achieve sustainability in their packaging.
Most product packaging comes in one of three ways: virgin, partially recycled or 100% recycled.
In most cases, it's best to avoid virgin materials because it means you're using fewer new resources from day one. However, this is not always possible. If you must use virgin materials, we recommend that you pay close attention to where they come from.
Partially recycled materials are the most common and easiest to find. Most of our paperboard products contain recycled materials, with CN Eco Packaging cartons having the highest percentage of 100% recycled kraft corrugated board.
If you're shipping your products in boxes that are much larger than the product itself, you're wasting a lot of money and creating unnecessary packaging waste. Packing the same product in more appropriate packaging generates a more reasonable cost when shipping and is also better for your carbon footprint.
Not sure what size your boxes should be? No problem! You can contact us to let us know the dimensions of your product, and we will give you the right size regarding customized gift box packaging, as well as provide you with the design you want.
If you order 5,000 wholesale custom gift boxes from a factory only to find out that they are not the correct size, that sounds like a waste. If the boxes are too large, we can urgently customize liners to hold your products in place or consider other options, but if they're too small, there's nothing you can do. The best way to avoid this is to order a sample of your product first.
Ordering a sample allows you to test the product to see if it will fit inside the gift box, and it also ensures that the design is the effect you want before a large shipment is ordered. It is important to note that custom packaging molds are made specifically for you as an individual, so there will be a fee, but if you are happy with the samples, we can either reimburse you for the cost of the samples when you purchase the bulk, or give you a direct credit for the cost of the samples before the bulk order is confirmed.
Everything you put in a box consumes material. While some extras have their uses, such as a brochure to share your brand story, there are steps you can take to minimize packaging waste without compromising the customer experience. Instead of a brochure, you can print branding ideas on the inside of the package.
When a customer buys multiple products at once, you can combine several products into one box for shipping instead of shipping each product separately. This saves you on shipping costs while also reducing unnecessary packaging waste. You can do this by offering incentives (such as eco-friendly discounts) for orders over a certain amount. Another option is to tell your customers that delivering this way is kinder to the environment.
Promoting your sustainability efforts can be an excellent marketing tool, and it can also help to inspire your competitors, other businesses and your customers to make similar efforts towards a more sustainable future.
