Custom Eco-Friendly Packaging

For brands that want packaging with a lighter footprint, paperboard is the straightforward choice: kraft, corrugated and white cardboard boxes and bags, printed in full colour, without switching to a different material family. This page covers the eco-friendly options we already make, and how to choose finishes that match your priority.

We do not claim a certification we do not hold. What we do offer is FSC paper on request, kraft and corrugated paperboard as standard materials, and a direct conversation about finishes: if recyclability is your priority, tell us at quote stage and we recommend the finishes that keep the box closest to plain paperboard.

Frequently asked questions

Are paper boxes recyclable?

Paperboard, kraft and corrugated boxes are widely recyclable. Some finishes, such as heavy foil or film lamination, can affect recyclability, so tell us if recyclability is a priority and we recommend finishes to match.

What is the FSC paper option?

FSC paper is available on request for your order. Tell us at quote stage that you want FSC paper, and we confirm availability for your chosen style and material.

Can I still get premium finishes on an eco-friendly box?

Yes. Matte and gloss lamination, foil stamping, spot UV, embossing and debossing are all available. If recyclability is a priority, we can discuss which finishes keep the box closest to plain paperboard.

What is the minimum order and lead time?

They depend on the box style, material and finishing. Mailer and corrugated boxes start at 100 pieces, folding cartons and rigid boxes at 200 pieces, and paper bags and specialty boxes are confirmed per style. Production across our box range runs 12–25 days, and your exact lead time is confirmed with the quote.
