Packaging is more than just a way to protect your products from damage during storage, handling, and shipping. It is also a powerful tool to enhance your brand image, communicate your values and mission, and create a memorable shopping experience for your customers.
Especially if you sell Eco goods or online, you need to pay attention to the packaging you use for your shipments. It should be resistant, functional, and customized to suit your products and make them stand out.
To select the right packaging for your products, you should consider the following factors:
- Size and composition: Your packaging should fit your products snugly and be made of durable materials that can withstand shocks and vibrations.
- Fragility: Your packaging should provide adequate cushioning and protection for fragile items, to avoid returns and additional costs.
- Personalization: Your packaging should reflect your brand identity and message, with colors, logos, designs, or labels that make it recognizable and attractive.
There are many types of paper and cardboard packaging (and other materials) that you can choose from, depending on your products. In this article, we will explore some of the most common ones and their features.
The best packaging solutions for different products
Packaging is not only a way to protect your products from damage during shipping, but also a way to showcase your brand and its values. One of the values that we care about is sustainability, and we offer packaging solutions that are eco-friendly and effective.
Packaging for fragile products
If you need to ship fragile products like glass bottles, we have several solutions that use a corrugated cardboard box as the outer packaging, and an Eco-Pulp Bottle Packaging as the inner packaging. This is an innovative and ecological solution that replaces plastic protectors and protects bottles from impacts and vibrations.
Eco-Pulp Bottle Packaging is made of pulp, a recycled and recyclable material that is also biodegradable. It is designed to fit different types of bottles and provide high protection during handling, storage, and shipping. It is also stackable, easy to use, and reduces packaging time and materials.
Furniture packaging
When you need to ship furniture or large items, you need custom-made packaging that can support the weight and size of your products and protect them from scratches, dents, or damage during handling and shipping.
In this case, we recommend using a protective material, such as bubble wrap, foam, or paper pads, to prevent the surfaces or edges from being damaged.
Packaging for glass products: the paper solutions
We have already mentioned Eco-Pulp Bottle Packaging, which is ideal for protecting bottles inside the box.
But we also have other solutions based on paper and corrugated paper that can protect fragile, cylindrical, and small items, such as vials, jars, or cosmetics.
One of them is Flexi-Hex®, a paper sleeve with a unique hexagonal structure that optimizes the amount of protective materials used and reduces storage and shipping costs, thanks to its lightweight and small footprint. It is also a green alternative to plastic.
Another one is Eco-Sleeve Plus, a protective, multipurpose sleeve that is suitable for fragile cosmetics, jewelry, pharmaceuticals, and other bottles and jars. It can be customized with printing and sizes.
Eco-friendly packaging solutions for clothing
If you are looking for packaging solutions that are not only effective but also eco-friendly, you have come to the right place. We offer a range of alternatives to plastic that are innovative, versatile, and super-efficient, and that are highly appreciated by both the fashion industry and consumers.
Eco-transparent paper polybag: a transparent bag made of paper
This is an innovative alternative to traditional transparent plastic bags, that offer the same benefits without the environmental impact. It is made of paper, which is circular by nature, and it is translucent, allowing you to see the garment and the brand inside. It also protects the garment from dust and moisture, and it is recyclable and biodegradable.
By choosing an Eco-transparent paper polybag instead of a virgin paper product, you save 68.08 Kg CO2 equivalent of greenhouse gas emissions for every 1000 pieces!
Eco-seal security: a paper-based security label
This is a paper-based solution that replaces the common plastic security label and reduces the amount of total plastic packaging. It has a die-cutting design that makes it burglar-proof, to protect the product from opening or tampering. It is very popular among brands in the fashion and luxury sector.
It also has a durable quick-setting adhesive, which makes it easy to use and fasten on the box or shopper. It can be customized with printing and security holograms.
Eco-friendly and innovative solutions for packing furniture
Protecting the surfaces and edges of large objects is crucial when packing and shipping them, and that’s why corner protectors are indispensable.
Eco-Angular: a green solution for protecting corners
One of the most important things when packing and transporting large objects is to protect both surfaces and edges, so the use of corners is essential.
We have different types of Eco-Angular available, both made of paper or based on cultivated mushrooms. Each type has its own features, and we are happy to help you choose the ideal one for your needs.
Eco-Wool Padding: a recycled wool padding
This is a padding made of recycled wool scraps from the fashion industry, which provides cushioning and extra padding for your packaging while contributing to the circular economy.
The padding is soft, water-repellent, and durable, and it is also available in sheet form, which is a sustainable alternative to plastic bubble wrap.
