5 Ways Using Paper Can Make Your Packages Greener And Less Prone to Damage

Paper is a sustainable, capable packaging material. Here are some of the ways protective paper packaging can increase sustainability and reduce damages.

Executive summary:
*Paper is a sustainable option for shippers who want to simultaneously protect packages and meet sustainability goals.
*Protective paper packaging is an excellent material for block and brace packaging and works well for industrial components like small automotive parts.
*Pregis machines like the Easypack® Packmaster™ Pro complement paper packaging and allow workers to quickly and efficiently protect products during shipment.
*Box-in-box products, like those commonly used by e-commerce shippers, can be filled with paper packaging to provide extra protection.
*Paper is ideal for products with sharp edges or irregular shapes, as it can be ripped and torn without losing its cushioning qualities.

There’s just something about paper that feels natural. Maybe it’s the age-old relationship consumers have with paper, from growing up with binders full of assignments to carrying home brown bags filled with groceries as an adult. No matter what every individual’s experience is with paper, using the material for packaging is a continual option shippers favor when creating a sustainable unboxing experience.

For eco-friendly businesses, paper packaging has a biodegradable advantage and is renewable from sustainably managed forests. On top of that, most paper packaging is easily recyclable — a valuable trait for consumers who wish to reduce their waste and make their purchases greener.

That’s why Pregis’ Easypack paper is 100 percent recycled, 100 percent recyclable, and FSC® certified.Consumers who wish to participate in a more circular economy can be assured the paper they recycle will end up serving a purpose in the future, as well.
