Sustainability in Printed Boxes: A Growing Trend
Sustainability in printed boxes has become a significant trend, driven by increasing consumer demand for Eco-friendly packaging and a global shift towards reducing environmental impact. Here’s a look at the key aspects of this trend: 1. Use of Recycled and Biodegradable Materials Many companies are opting for recycled materials, like post-consumer cardboard, to reduce the demand for new resources. Biodegradable and compo stable options, such as Kraft paper and certain vegetable-based inks, help minimise long-term waste. 2. Eco-Friendly Inks and Printing Processes Traditional inks often contain petroleum-based chemicals, which can harm the environment. The move to water-based or soy-based inks has become popular for minimising toxins. Digital printing also supports sustainability by reducing waste compared to traditional printing methods, as it allows smaller, more precise print runs. 3. Reduced Packaging Size and Weight Reducing the material used in packaging, like right-sizing boxes
