Five to try: How to make your packaging choices at least 50% more sustainable, without blowing the budget.

12/12/22
We all want to do better with our packaging choices – it’s 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. We’ve put together five packaging choices you can make today that will make your packaging options not only more sustainable but cost-efficient, too!

1. Use honeycomb paper to wrap items.

Instead of choosing plastic bubble wrap, why not try honeycomb paper? Not only does it protect delicate items, it also provides padding and the specially designed interlocking cells don’t 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 choose biodegradable bubble wrap? 



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. Use recycled cardboard cartons over and over again.

It’s no secret cardboard can be recycled and reused – but did you know that we can also custom print on any cardboard carton or box to help you with your branding? 



5. Biodegradable tape makes recycling easy.

Using a biodegradable packaging tape 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 minimize damage to the environment and save on costs really is that simple now – 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 – to reduce, reuse or recycle.
