Choosing the right material for your packaging

Sustainable packaging for greater environmental protection

Many consumers today pay close attention to the materials used in packaging. That is why material choice is becoming increasingly important not only for the products themselves, but also for their packaging. At packaging warehouse, you can choose between board grades with a high proportion of secondary fibres and mono-material films designed for recycling.

Choosing materials that can be recycled after use is one important factor. However, the material is not the only aspect – the size of the packaging also plays an important role.

The more efficient the size and shape of a package - perfectly adapted to the product in question - the fewer resources are needed for its production. In addition, this results in less packaging waste. From a business management point of view, it is both sensible and cost-efficient to save packaging wherever possible. This minimizes not only material costs, but also storage and transport costs. For you as a manufacturer, this means using as little packaging material as possible, but as much as necessary.

High recycling rates through the use of sustainable materials
Reducing packaging waste through recyclable packaging

What is sustainability?

There are several ways to grasp and implement this concept. Waste prevention is one of the most important. Active sustainability starts where you can act wisely as a company to avoid packaging waste. Especially in times of online trade, this is a difficult task, because the industry thrives on the fact that a lot is ordered and shipped.

Particularly, but not only in the field of e-commerce, the choice of packaging material is of great importance. That is why packaging warehouse offers a range of board grades with a high proportion of secondary fibres, such as GD2 recycled board (80% secondary fibres) and natural board (100% secondary fibres).

Grass board is another option: it is made from 70% secondary fibres and 30% grass fibres as an alternative fibre source and, in its unfinished form, is recyclable with paper waste.

Packaging that matches your product

To keep your brand consistent, choose packaging materials that match your product positioning. Customers often look beyond the product itself and also pay attention to its packaging.

If it also looks high-quality and natural and is printed in appealing colours, you have created a clear sales argument for this customer group. Please note that environmental labels may only be used on packaging if they are based on a recognised certification scheme.

In addition to appearance, feel is also an important factor. Grass board, natural board and recycled board not only feel high-quality, but also natural. At the same time, they are suitable for high-quality, fully printed packaging. With this choice of materials, you can offer your customers high-quality packaging with a natural look and feel.

Natural grass-based cardboard for sustainable products
Sustainable packaging for food or cosmetics

Your packaging: made in Germany with a natural look

On the road, your products are protected from UV rays and moisture with our packaging. In addition, your products can be better stored and transported.

  • Product safety and the labeling obligation must be ensured in any case.
  • The contents must be optimally protected from external influences.
  • The quality and condition (aromas, taste, consistency) of sensitive goods such as food or cosmetics must be guaranteed permanently and in consistent quality.

On the road, your products are protected from UV rays and moisture with our sustainable packaging. In addition, your products can be better stored and transported. For the presentation, it makes sense to add a Euro-hole suspension, because this allows you to present your goods at the point of sale even more flexibly - whether standing, lying or hanging.

Natural look for your product

The range of sustainable products is almost endless. Particularly in the areas of cosmetics and food, a lot has happened in recent years. There is also a strong trend towards environmental compatibility in cleaning products. Your customers are interested in naturally produced lipsticks, chocolate with little plastic packaging and cleaning agents that are environmentally friendly. Many industries are switching to environmentally friendly solutions and focusing on the increasing demand for sustainable products. Particularly in the areas of cosmetics, food and cleaning products, a lot has happened in recent years, and many brands are rethinking their packaging. Packaging warehouse's packaging materials help you give your products a natural, high-quality look.

Grass board for a natural look

Our grass board is made from 70% secondary fibres and 30% grass fibres as an alternative fibre source. The grass fibres are finely visible on the surface and give the board a natural look and feel. In its unfinished form, grass board is recyclable with paper waste. Grass board can be used in a variety of ways, for example as packaging for cosmetics or for food.
Natural board for a natural look

Natural board impresses with its natural appearance. Our natural brown board is made from 100% secondary fibres (PIW & PCW) and is similar in colour to corrugated board, but solid rather than corrugated. Its stability comes from the fibre density and is quite sufficient for typical folding boxes for product packaging. Natural board appeals to your customers with its simplicity – the natural character can be seen and felt.
Recycled board

Our GD2 recycled board is made from 80% secondary fibres, and our natural brown board from 100% secondary fibres (PIW & PCW). Both can be fully printed and offer you the same design freedom as all other materials. In their unfinished form, they are recyclable with paper waste.
Mono-material film for pouches

Our PP and PE mono-material films for stand-up and flat pouches are available in white or transparent and are designed for recycling. The Doypacks can be configured with zipper, Euro slot hanger or tear flap, so you can get the optimal solution for each product. However, make sure you choose the right fill level when configuring these extras.
