Sustainable Packaging Questions
Are eco-friendly materials more expensive than standard packaging?
FSC-certified and recycled materials typically cost 10-15% more than standard materials. However, this premium is often offset by improved brand perception, retailer requirements compliance, and customer preference for sustainable brands. Kraft materials are competitively priced with standard white card.
Can I use the FSC logo on my packaging?
Yes — when you order FSC-certified packaging from us, you receive FSC logo usage rights. We provide the correct FSC trademark usage guidelines and can include the FSC logo in your packaging design. This demonstrates your commitment to sustainable sourcing to your customers.
Is carbon-neutral delivery really free?
Yes — all UK deliveries are free and carbon offset. We absorb the carbon offset cost as part of our environmental commitment. No additional charges for carbon-neutral shipping. Offset certificates available on request for your own sustainability reporting.
Do eco-friendly materials compromise print quality?
No — FSC-certified paper and recycled materials accept print just as well as virgin materials. Water-based inks produce vibrant colors. Kraft board has natural aesthetic that many brands prefer. Print resolution (up to 2400 DPI) is identical regardless of material sustainability credentials.
Can you provide sustainability documentation for retailer requirements?
Yes — we provide complete ESG documentation for B2B procurement, retailer onboarding, and tender processes. Includes ISO 14001 certification, FSC/PEFC certificates, carbon footprint reports, waste management data, material compliance documentation. Standard turnaround: 2-3 working days.
