Frequently asked questions

Why should my business choose sustainable packaging products?

Choosing sustainable packaging helps reduce environmental impact, meet consumer expectations, and often saves costs through improved efficiency. Sustainable options like recycled pallet wrap, Hexafil, paper tape, and biodegradable fills enhance your brand image, comply with environmental regulations such as the Plastic Packaging Tax, and contribute positively to a circular economy by reducing plastic waste and supporting recycling efforts.

Is your recycled pallet wrap as strong as traditional pallet wrap?

Yes. Our eco-friendly pallet wrap contains at least 30% recycled content but maintains high-performance standards comparable to traditional film. It provides excellent strength, stretchability, and load containment while helping you reduce plastic waste. Using recycled pallet wrap can also help your business avoid the UK Plastic Packaging Tax, saving costs and improving environmental credentials simultaneously.

What are the advantages of Hexcel paper fill over traditional void fill?

Hexcel paper fill is a sustainable, paper-based void-fill alternative that offers strong cushioning and protection without using plastic. It expands into a honeycomb structure providing excellent shock absorption, product protection, and aesthetic appeal. It’s fully recyclable and biodegradable, reduces storage space, and improves packing speed, making it ideal for ecommerce and retail packaging operations.

Can your paper bags be customised and are they eco-friendly?

Yes. Our paper bags can be customised with your logo, branding, and colours, creating a professional, environmentally-friendly impression. Made from recyclable or recycled materials, they provide businesses with an effective way to reduce single-use plastics and showcase their commitment to sustainability. Ideal for retail, events, and promotional uses, they’re a stylish and responsible packaging choice.

Is paper tape a viable alternative to plastic packaging tape?

Absolutely. Paper tape offers a strong, eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic tapes. It’s fully recyclable and bonds exceptionally well to cardboard boxes, creating a secure, tamper-evident seal. Paper tape is easy to tear by hand and can often improve packing efficiency and customer perception. It’s ideal for businesses looking to reduce plastic waste without compromising packaging security.
