We all want to do better with our packaging choices โ itโs about making sure you are keeping the items you are shipping safe from damage as well as doing your bit for the environment. You may also be posting items to your customers, so you want your packaging and unboxing to look good and on-brand too.
While this might seem like a tall order, at Omni Group, we know you want to make these environmentally friendly choices, and we also know you have a budget to keep costs low. Weโve put together five packaging choices you can make today that will make your packaging options not only more sustainable but cost-efficient, too!
1. Useย honeycomb paper to wrap items.
Instead of choosing plastic bubble wrap, why not tryย honeycomb paper? Not only does it protect delicate items, it also provides padding and the specially designed interlocking cells donโt require tape to secure.
2. Use biodegradable bubble wrap to protect.
Bubble wrap has long been a proven way to package and protect products from breakage in transit. Did you know that you can now chooseย biodegradable bubble wrap?ย
3. Filling the void naturally to minimize movement in transit.
Packaging peanuts made from cornstarch are completely biodegradable and will melt away with water. Use these void fill solutions to stop the movement of individual items in cartons when shipping.
4. Useย recycled cardboardย cartonsย over and over again.
Itโs no secret cardboard can be recycled and reused โ but did you know that we can also custom print on anyย cardboard carton or box to help you with your branding?
5. Biodegradableย tape makes recycling easy.
Using aย biodegradable packaging tapeย with an organic adhesive means that boxes can be easily recycled along with their tape, without the need for prior removal.
Making mindful packaging choices in order to minimise damage to the environment and save on costs really is that simple now โ and if you ship goods to your customers, you also make it easy for them to make their own sustainable choices with their disposal options โ to reduce, reuse or recycle.
