Our commitment to a healthy environment is reflected throughout the packaging materials we offer.

Did you know that we offer blister cards and folding cartons with aqueous coatings and plant-based inks?

Our fiberboard materials are avaiable with up to 100% recycled content.

We supply void fill and protective packaging materials that have recycled content and are biodegradable.

Many of the poly bags we provide are produced in a facility that operates on 100% renewable energy.

Materials to Meet Your Green Packaging Initiatives

We are here to help you meet your sustainable packaging goals with a wide variety of packaging materials.
We look for the best materials in today's packaging market that minimize environmental impact.

Here are some of the packaging materials we offer that might help you go a little greener.

Flow Wrapping Film

Sustainability Tip For specific uses, where barrier properties are not required, our biodegradable cast cellulose film has excellent clarity and dimensional stability, with resistance to aging brittleness and yellowing. Also, when barrier properties are not required, cold seal paper-based materials that are recyclable and biodegradable can be used instead of plastic materials.

Flat Bags & Stand-Up Pouches

Sustainability Tip Many of the bags we supply are manufactured using 100% renewable energy from sources like wind and solar power. Compared to traditional hard plastic containers, transporting pouches uses a fraction of the space and weight, dramatically reducing transportation carbon emissions.

Vertical Form Fill & Seal Film

Trays & Cups

Sustainability Tip Our plastic trays and cups are sourced from manufacturers that optimize their products by reducing their weight and increasing their recycled content. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, landfill waste, and energy consumption minimizes operational impacts.

Blisters & Clamshells

Sustainability Tip Many of our blister cards use recycled manufactured scrap, VOC-free environmentally-friendly aqueous coatings, agri-based inks, and comply with all environmental regulations.

Autobag Bags on a Roll

Sustainability Tip Our biodegradable roll bags feature a special formulation that causes some bio-degradation without compromising performance. Our recycled roll bags are made with pre-consumer recycled material.

Shrink Sleeves & Tamper Bands

Sustainability Tip Our shrink sleeves are designed to be lighter than water. This design helps to separate these plastics out of the recycling stream.

Folding Cartons & Trays

Sustainability Tip Many of our paperboard cartons and trays are made from up to 100% recycled content. And, of course, are 100% recyclable.

Void Fill Air Pillows and Bubble Material

Sustainability Tip Our biodegradable air pillows and bubble material feature a special formulation that causes some bio-degradation without compromising performance. Our recycled air pillows and bubble material are made with pre-consumer recycled material.

Corrugated Shipping Cases & Trays

Sustainability Tip Many of our shipping cases and corrugated trays are made from up to 100% recycled content. And, of course, are 100% recyclable.

Labels

Sustainability Tip Many of our labels utilize 30% to 100% post-consumer recycled paper content.

Thermal Printing Ribbon

Sustainability Tip Some of our thermal ribbon manufacturers recover and reuse 80% of the solvent needed for manufacturing. Thermal transfer ribbons are wound on cores made from 55% recycled material with packaging made of 45% recycled material. Used ribbons can be recycled and converted into alternative fuel.

Corner Board

Sustainability Tip Our corner boards are recycled wonders. Recycled fiber is salvaged and collected from many sites across the US. Over 4 million tons of pre- and post-consumer waste paper are collected for re-use each year. That’s about 60 million trees saved.
