How to make the packaging box more sustainable？

Sustainability boxes are environmentally friendly packaging boxes that minimize the impact on the environment. Consumers can reuse eco-friendly packaging boxes. So how can you make the boxes more sustainable?

1.Choose environmentally friendly materials

For environmental protection materials, paper is no doubt about environmental protection materials. But from the raw materials of paper, environmental protection is also classified. For example, for those raw materials are recycled pulp made of paper and through the FSC agency certification, it is 100 percent environmentally friendly. And some paper used in the production process of the pulp is extracted from the trees, and the cutting of these trees will have an impact on the environment, it can not be determined that the paper is 100 percent environmentally friendly.

2.Choose environmental technology

Print. Packaging box printing is the selected ink is the main factor in determining whether printing is environmentally friendly. Compared with ordinary inks, plant oil inks and UV inks are relatively environmentally friendly. plant oil ink generally refers to the soybean oil ink, plant oil ink is renewable, no harm, recycling, and in the production of the consumption is relatively little, no pungent smell. So it is one of the very environmentally friendly inks. Secondly, UV ink is directly under ultraviolet irradiation to achieve curing printing effect. At the same time, UV ink is a fast drying speed, good luster, water resistance, solvent resistance, good wear resistance of the ink.UV ink has become a mature ink technology, and its pollutant discharge is almost zero, so it is very environmentally friendly.

Emboss.Embossing process is the use of concave and convex grain mold, under a certain pressure and temperature to make the packaging material deformation, forming a specific pattern, in the production will not cause any impact on the environment, therefore, embossing process is also the most typical environmental protection process in packaging.
