Environmental Printing

There is a significant shift from plastic to paper packaging which is gaining momentum driven by environmental concerns, consumer demand and regulatory pressures. Paper packaging has notable environmental advantages over plastic, making it a preferred choice for many businesses and consumers. In a nutshell, eco-friendly paper packaging offers numerous benefits for both businesses and the environment. Here are some key advantages:

Eco foil, also known as eco-friendly foil or sustainable foil, refers to a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional foil used in various applications, including greeting cards.

Traditional foil is typically made from metallic materials, such as aluminium, and often involves resource-intensive and environmentally harmful processes.

Eco foil, on the other hand, is produced using sustainable materials or methods that have a reduced impact on the environment.

However, there remains a misconception that items that have had foil applied cannot enter the recycling stream. However, paper or board with foil applied to it can be re-pulped and therefore recycled. Similarly, paper or board with foil applied can be composted under commercial conditions.

Any business, no matter the size, has a responsibility to find the right packaging for its products. With a strong customer driven focus to move away from plastics, excess packaging and costly materials, eco-friendly packaging is rightly becoming the packaging of choice.

Leading the way on adopting eco-packaging are the small businesses and we are here to help make that process as easy as possible.
