Allpack understands the packaging industry plays a vital role in the global economy, providing a myriad of essential products to both businesses and consumers. But with increasing concerns over the environmental impact of packaging materials, manufacturers and suppliers are under pressure to provide more sustainable solutions to the market.
One of the latest innovations in sustainable packaging is pulp fitments. These lightweight, uniquely designed fitments are typically manufactured from recycled paper pulp and are designed to securely hold paint tins and plastic tubs in place within their outer packaging, offering a range of sustainability benefits compared to traditional packaging materials, such as plastic or foam inserts.
Assuring sustainability
Ultra-lightweight, simple-to-use fitments offer several sustainability benefits, including:
Renewability and recyclability
Since the pulp is a renewable resource, it can be replenished through sustainable forest management processes. Better still, it’s made from recycled paper and is fully recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
A smaller carbon footprint
Lightweight and requiring less energy to produce than materials such as plastic or foam, pulp offers a lower carbon footprint – both in production and transportation.
Better waste management
Foam inserts can take hundreds of years to break down and may release harmful pollutants into the environment, whereas pulp material will naturally break down over time, helping to cut your environmental impact. An effective layer of protection
With a good weight-to-strength ratio, combined with a tight-fitting profile, ensures contents are securely held whilst in transit, saving the cost of returns and creating positive first-time customer experiences. PaintGuard™: a greener choice for posting liquid containers.
Packaging and sending liquid products can be inherently tricky. Firstly, it’s necessary to house bottled products securely and avoid spills. Then there’s the strength and robustness of the pack to consider. For many businesses, this results in the use of large tape volumes and mounds of void fill, to avoid the knocking and dislodging of tins whilst in transit. But varnishes, paints and oils can now be securely packed with greater speed and protection, using sustainable container holders.
Manufactured from fully recycled materials and designed with full recyclability in mind, PaintGuard™ is a must-have for secure liquid in-transit packaging. These versatile container holders are a secure option for sending tins and tubs of liquid through the post. The eco-friendly pulp fitment fits into specially designed cartons to safely secure multiple sizes of metal tins and plastic tubs, giving functional, affordable transit packaging to a range of liquids – including oils, varnishes and paint.
To ensure increased safety and enhance waste-free packing, PaintGuard™ boxes are complete with tape application guidelines, allowing packing operatives to work with greater efficiency – with even less material. PaintGuard™ has been tested to exceed the ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) standard drop test protocol, guaranteeing the product is UK Courier-Approved to have no damages, breakages, spillages or product dents during transit.
To assure greener packing and storage, PaintGuard™ container holders and cartons are built to integrate with Allpack’s Boxbond™ Self Adhesive Paper Tape X72 Reinforced tape 72mm x 25m, maximising waste management efficiency and simplicity.
