  • Corrugated Cardboard: Known for its strength and durability. This has flutes between the layers of cardboard sheets to make the box thicker and ideal for tough shipping procedures. This easily handles and protects your products in transit. Customized in different shapes and dimensions according to your products.

Printing & Finishing Options 

We provide premium quality printing and finishing options for custom sustainable packaging. The selection of printing methods depends on the box style, the thickness of the packaging materials, the client’s budget, and the product’s custom dimensions. 

Printing Methods

  • Offset Printing: This traditional method produces high-quality print designs with precise color replication, making it ideal for large orders and ensuring consistent results across all boxes.
  • Digital Printing: It is ideal for smaller runs or custom designs, as it provides quick turnaround times. It supports complex graphics and vibrant colors, allowing for unique sustainable box packaging.

Finishing Methods

  • Matte Finish: This method provides a non-reflective, smooth, and premium textured style to the box.
  • Glossy Finish: It provides a shiny reflection on the surface of the boxes to draw customer’s attention.

Add On’s

  • Embossing/Debossing: It adds a raised and recessed technique to provide a different and tactile experience for your brand’s identity.

Types of Box Inserts Used in Sustainable Packaging Boxes

Custom sustainable packaging holds high-quality inserts to show and secure your premium product elements. Following are some box inserts that present your products and store them in shock-proof packaging:

  • Molded Pulp Inserts: These are mostly used by bakeries or food-oriented companies to keep the shape of the packaged products intact. This is a cost-effective method as it carries a rough texture. The molded pulp inserts could be given a luxurious touch by applying distinct types of coatings or UV varnishes.
  • Corrugated Cardboard Inserts: These are also called corrugated dividers and are mostly used for carrying multiple products in a single packaging. They keep the products safely separate yet organized for the target customers.
  • Kraft Paper Inserts: They are manufactured using kraft to add an extra layer of support and protection for your products in sustainable boxes. They save the products from the risk of breakage or scratches during shipping.  
  • Recycled Paperboard Inserts: They ensure the product’s protection while giving products a visually appealing outlook. They are durable and hold a great printing surface for logos, artwork design, or other branding elements.
  • Plant-Based Foam Inserts: They are trending in the packaging industry due to their outstanding quality and recyclable properties. They are manufactured using sugarcane or corn plants to reduce pollution. They provide cushioning to fragile products during storage or transportation.

Customize Sustainable Boxes having Water-Resistant Coating

Our sustainable boxes can be customized by applying varying degrees of water-resistant coating that depend on the materials and treatments used during the manufacturing process. On the other hand, traditional cardboard does not provide significant protection against moisture or humidity. When applying a water-resistant layer, it is important to evaluate the use of your packaging. Some packaging may include an interior layer of water-repellent materials like polyethylene or specialized coatings to improve the insulation against moisture. If your products are likely to be exposed to moisture, you can invest in water-resistant features that will increase their protection and visual appeal. 

Key Features of Custom Sustainable Boxes

  • Made from eco-friendly materials
  • Options for water-resistant treatments
  • Suitable for various applications
  • Improved durability for shipping and storage
  • Customizable designs to meet branding needs
