What we like about Greener Printer: They offer soy-based inks and boxes made from 100% recycled paper. They offset their carbon emissions via carbonfund.org.
Folding Cartons
With options for soy ink, and 100% recycled paper.
-
Folding cartons are made from a sturdy, yet foldable board. Because it’s still relatively flexible, there are several printing options for a glossy or matte finish.
-
These paperboard boxes are made from trees, which are a renewable resource. Paper is lightweight in shipping and these folding cartons can be engineered for structural stability with flat pack shipping. Paper is also easily recycled or composted (see Disposal).
For more transparent sourcing, Greenerprinter seems to offer FSC certified paper. FSC certifications set standards for tree farming like stricter restrictions on clear cuts and pesticide use.
-
The best afterlife for most paper products — from collateral to boxes — is recycling. Most paper fibers can be recycled more than five times. Paper with tape or stickers can still be recycled, because non-paper materials are sifted out in the recycling process.
-
Printed designs will match the finish of the paper. For a shiny finish, you’ll need to inquire about added coatings. Coatings may also be necessary if your packaging needs extra water resistance.
A glossy finish may be possible by using a glossy stock or an added coating.
