📦 Unboxing Happiness! 📦 Eco-Friendly Benefits of Kraft Paper Packaging

Why We Use Kraft Paper Boxes for Our Products

Traditional product packaging materials can be harmful to the environment. However, the increasing environmental awareness among consumers has pushed brands to turn to sustainable alternatives. As an environmentally conscious company, we want our values to be reflected in all aspects of our operations, and that includes our packaging. In a time where environmental stewardship is paramount, our choice of kraft paper boxes and bags highlights our commitment to eco-friendly practices. It may not be as pretty as shiny colourful boxes and bags but let us share with you why we’re passionate about this simple, yet powerful material.

Kraft Paper: A Green Packaging Solution

Naturally Sustainable: Kraft papers are arguably more sustainable and eco-friendly than regular paper materials, and unlike plastic, paper bio-degrades within weeks, and can be recycled. Kraft paper boxes don't require extensive bleaching, which can decrease the paper’s strength and increase the manufacturing costs. It can also use resinous wood materials or can be made from recycled material, which aren't able to be used in traditional paper making. Because nearly all chemicals used in the process are recovered and reused it is a self-sustaining manufacturing method. More and more consumers are looking for packaging that is less harmful to the environment, so we think by using kraft paper products we are taking a  significant step in the right direction.

The Recyclability Factor: The recyclability of kraft paper is nothing short of impressive. It can be transformed into new paper products time and again, making it a keystone in the circular economy. By opting for kraft paper products, we’re actively participating in a cycle of reuse and regeneration.

Durability: Kraft paper’s reputation for strength is well-deserved. It provides robust protection for our glass products, ensuring they arrive safely. This durability means we use less material for reinforcement and therefore cut down on resource consumption.

Natural Beauty: We think that Kraft paper boxes have understated elegance that aligns with our brand ethos. Its earthy, rustic look emphasizes our commitment to sustainability and matches nicely with the bright, sparkle of our products. The organic feel of kraft paper enhances the unboxing experience, connecting our customers to a sense of nature and simplicity.

Branding Potential: For our customers, Kraft paper boxes provide a neutral backdrop which allows for striking custom add ons. Our clients have enhanced this simplistic design with their own ribbons, company stickers, custom stamps or hand written notes. It’s branding done right—memorable, impactful, and responsible. Our number one concern is to make sure the glass is protected during transportation while ensuring our packaging stands out while staying true to our environmental principles. The decoration is up to you!

At Hanscomb Glass, we believe in the power of thoughtful choices. While what’s inside the box is most important, the packaging itself is a reflection of our values. We use kraft paper boxes to make a meaningful contribution to a sustainable future, without compromising on safety, quality or aesthetics. It’s a journey we’re passionate about, and are constantly working to implement greener alternatives into our business.
