Eco-friendly custom packaging for brands reducing waste.

Frequently asked questions

Is compostable packaging better than recyclable?

Not automatically. Most certified compostable packaging needs industrial composting facilities that many consumers cannot access, so it frequently ends up in landfill or contaminates recycling. Where paper recycling infrastructure exists and is widely used, a recyclable carton usually delivers more real-world benefit.

What does FSC certification actually cover?

FSC concerns sourcing: the fibre came from responsibly managed forests. It says nothing about whether the finished box can be recycled or composted. Those are separate properties and worth specifying separately rather than assuming one implies the other.

Which finishes stop a box from being recyclable?

Plastic lamination is the main one, along with metallic foil and heavy spot UV. Aqueous coatings and uncoated stocks generally keep the carton recyclable. If recyclability is a requirement, tell us at quote stage so finishing is specified around it.

Can you supply documentation for our sustainability claims?

We supply certification documentation for the substrate we run, so you can reference a standard rather than an adjective. The accuracy of whatever environmental claim you print remains your responsibility, and it is an area of increasing regulatory attention in both the US and EU.
