Eco-Friendly Home Fragrance Packaging Boxes for Candles, Diffusers & More
Home fragrance products, like diffusers and scented candles, have become a popular choice for enhancing the ambience of homes and offices thanks to their broad range of fragrances. However, in terms of marketing your home fragrance product, it is essential to consider not just the product but also the packaging that accompanies it.
Protection and Durability
One of the primary purposes of candle boxes and diffuser boxes is to protect the contents during storage and transportation. High-quality packaging prevents any damage to the candle, diffuser bottle, reeds or other components. By investing in robust packaging, you can be sure that your products reach your customers in pristine condition.
Did you know that our eco-toners are Certified Food Safe?
Following a rigorous testing process the eco-toners developed by Ricoh, and which are used on our digital press base, have been awarded a Smithers Pira Certificate of Conformity assuring EU food packaging legislation compliance.
As an eco-friendly printer, the materials and consumables we use must be environmentally friendly whilst able to perform to the highest standards.
How seriously? Well, at Local Printer, we have been offsetting our carbon emissions since 2021 and annually offset 50 tonnes of carbon. This is in addition to the carbon offsetting programmes for our paper, and in combination means that we are a fully carbon-neutral company with some room to spare!
Whilst carbon offsetting is not the same as carbon reduction, it plays an important role in tackling climate change by helping to balance unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions.
Use Singer Sewn Notebooks for a stylish, handcrafted appearance
For those of us old enough to remember, a hand-operated Singer sewing machine was generally employed to fashion school uniforms, soft furnishings and various other items of clothing that would probably make your hair curl.
These days, however, the Singer sewing machine is enjoying a new and alternative lease of life in print finishing. Yes, the Singer Sewn Notebook has finally arrived.
Large Format Printing for Life-Size Christmas Display
Since mid-2019 we have been developing our range of large format products, with an eye to keeping them as eco-friendly as possible. And to that end this year we have designed, produced and installed our first eco-friendly large format Christmas trees for Specialized Cycles.
First up, it must be noted that the plastic business card boxes we use are recyclable and made from reusable polypropylene. Secondly, the reason we currently use plastic business card boxes and not cardboard ones is that it is the only way we can guarantee the integrity of the contents. Cardboard boxes are just not up to the handling they get either in the mail system or in the (sometimes not very careful!) hands of the couriers. So you have a small, sturdy plastic box left over. What can you do with it? We’ve come up with a few different uses that may give a new life to your old box.
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. Supporting small businesses with eco-friendly packaging helps strengthen local communities while reducing environmental impact through more sustainable packaging choices.
As part of our ‘Reuse and Recycle’ blogs this one is all about diverting your magazines, old wrapping paper, catalogues and pretty much everything printed from the bin and using it as the basis for decoupage decoration.
Simply put, decoupage is using printed material that would otherwise be destined for the recycling bin, cutting out pictures, shapes or motifs, creating a collage and gluing to an object before finishing off with a coat of varnish. All very ‘Blue Peter’ but lots of fun and very satisfying!
The Stationery Subscription Box has suddenly catapulted into the stratosphere, largely due to our inherent love of stationery. Even though the digital age was supposed to have done away with dated pens and paper, the sales of stationery continue to increase year on year.
The advent of high-quality digital printing is making entry to the world of bespoke stationery printing exciting and affordable. Couple that with an easy route to market with ‘off-the-shelf’ e-commerce websites and the stationery boom has gone from a rumble to an explosion. And as far as we are concerned – it’s great!
Carbon Capture Is The Way Forward To Reducing Carbon Emissions
A Local Printer uses Carbon Capture material for many of our products, which translates in to money donated to Woodland Trust to plant trees. With our paper merchant partners the combined donations are now in excess of £800,000 which equates to rather a lot of trees. 260,000 to be precise!
