We take sustainability seriously

We use FSC certified carton board for our printing, which means the packaging we make for you can carry the FSC label directly on the pack.

FSC certified board

An organisation your customers already trust

We use FSC certified carton board for our printing. FSC is an international non-profit organisation that promotes responsible forest management via their timber certification scheme. FSC’s certification system enables both consumers and businesses to choose products made with materials which support responsible forestry. When choosing FSC certified board, you can display the FSC “tick-free” logo on your packaging which proves to customers that it has been ethically sourced.

The FSC logo guarantees that trees from FSC-certified forests are used. These are strictly managed to meet environmental, economic and social standards from more than 160 million hectares of forest. It is a globally trusted mark of sustainable forestry because of their top-tier verification processes, which ensure forests preserve biological diversity and benefit the lives of local people and workers, whilst also ensuring sustained economic viability.

Why carton board

Renewable, recyclable and endlessly re-supplied

Unlike many of the resources we extract from the earth, paperboard is inherently renewable and recyclable. We can’t grow new gold to replace what we’ve mined, nor can we extract additional oil once we’ve exhausted a well. Yet sourcing paper from managed tree farms and recycling paperboard packaging creates a virtually endless supply of paperboard, the production and consumption of which has a minimal environmental impact and promotes a sustainable world. FSC is represented around the world and enjoys broad NGO support.

Did you know that trees used to make FSC certified carton board are from responsibly managed forests? Promoted by FSC, responsible forest management maintains and enhances ecological processes and biodiversity. The aim is to protect communities, Indigenous Peoples, workers and wildlife, while respecting the economic viability of forest management operations. While providing us with carton board to package products, managed forests absorb carbon and help our ecosystem remain in balance.
