Environmental Benefits of Sustainable Packaging and POS
Protects forests, biodiversity and wildlife from deforestation and degradation and makes sure materials are only sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Eliminates toxic materials in packaging production and decreases your organisation’s logistics carbon footprint with flat-packed packaging.
Reduces waste by ensuring that your packaging and POS are either fully or partially made from recycled materials, rather than virgin resources.
How is Corrugated Cardboard Made?
Corrugated Board is made from papers made up from cellulose fibres, which are virgin or recycled. Corrugated board is made from a combination of two sheets of paper called liners glued to a corrugated inner medium called the fluting.
These three layers of paper are assembled in a way which gives the overall structure a better strength than that of each distinct layer.
This construction forms a series of connected arches which can support strong weights. The air circulating in the flutes also serves as an insulator and provides excellent protection against temperature variations.
