If you receive plenty of cardboard boxes as part of your business, it’s time to look for recycling options for them. You cannot just throw them away; you need to put them to some use. This will help you do your bit towards a sustainable lifestyle and a greener planet.

It is a good idea to invest in packaging shredders so you can shred the cardboard boxes and put them to productive use. Here are some ways in which you can use shredded cardboard boxes.

Packaging Delicate Items

The best way to use shredded cardboard boxes is by using them for packaging. Delicate items such as artefacts or glass items are susceptible to cracks and damages if they are not packaged with care. Instead of using plastic packaging, consider using shredded cardboard boxes, which will serve the purpose very well.

Potting Soil

Some types of biodegradable cardboards are very good for the soil and can help improve the soil texture. Such cardboard shreds can be u

Whether you manufacture electrical equipment, medical supplies or food, when you are sending your products, you want to ensure your products are safe and secure against tampering after they leave your production site.

Packaging security seals play a crucial role in protecting your products. Whether you use them for storing items or transporting, security seals make sure your packages remain protected and secured.

Security seals are designed to prevent unauthorised access to your products by making it obvious when somebody has tampered with them. They do this by leaving fragments/text of themselves on the packaging or breaking into several pieces when anyone attempts to remove them.

Why Use Packaging Security Seals

• Protection against tampering. As products travel, multiple people at multiple facilities handle them before they reach the end consumers. With several people having access to your products, there’s a huge risk of damage or tampering. Wit

As in most industries, the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted the packaging sector. The impact of COVID-19 has been wide and varied and will also be long-lasting.

The pandemic has not only changed our lives as we knew it, but it is expected to influence our daily life for the next 12 to 18 months. This uncertainty has impacted consumer attitudes towards packaging solutions too.

In this post, we look at some of the key packaging trends in the UK during the COVID-19 era.

Single-Use Packaging on The Rise

Owing to consumer concerns about the safety of reusable packaging, many businesses have favoured single-use disposable packing solutions over reusable packaging.

Moreover, a recent study found that consumer attitudes towards packaging have completely changed since the pandemic. About 68% of consumers state they have a more positive attitude towards single-use packaging.

This stands in stark contrast to the growing concern

Shipping electronics can be a cause for worry; there’s always the risk of damage in transit. Electrical products are particularly difficult to ship – many shipping companies won’t insure them most of the time as they are fragile in nature.

However, it’s not impossible to safely ship your electronic product. In this post, we share some safety tips for packaging electronic products.

Use the Right Sized Box

Give a thought to the type and size of box you will use to package your electronic product. Avoid using a box that is too small; your product will need some room after it has been wrapped and packaged. Be sure to pick a cardboard box that is sturdy, thick and can take pressure.

This is crucial because if the package is stacked beneath other boxes, it could crumple under the weight, which can damage the product inside.

The Packaging

Start by taking any antistatic measures necessary. This will be needed for individual compone

The Coronavirus pandemic has affected eCommerce businesses and the logistics industry alike. Across the logistics industry, carriers are feeling extreme pressure of the outbreak and shipping products has become quite a task.

Add to that the whole range of safety issues and the risk of transmitting the virus through packages, parcel shipping isn’t the same as before.

Here are some things to consider when shipping your products to customers during these COVID-19 times.

Inform Customers about Delays in Shipping Time

During the early months of the outbreak, with people staying at home due to the lockdown, online orders increased, and more small packages were reaching consumers directly.

Online orders have rapidly increased since March and businesses across the UK are scrambling to meet the increased demand.

Be sure to notify your customers that there might be delays in shipping. Announce this on your website, in order confirmation e

We all understand the importance of recycling to our environment, and how we should be always looking for more ways to be more sustainable.

Campaigning group Two Sides and global campaign Love Paper organised a European Packaging Preferences 2020 study, together with independent research company Toluna.

They spoke to 5,900 consumers from nine European countries, including the UK.

People were asked to decide what their favourite packaging material was (paper/cardboard, glass, metal or plastic), they had to base their decision on 15 environmental, practical and visual attributes.

Paper/cardboard was the clear winner having been chosen for 10 out of the 15 attributes, with glass being chosen for four and metal for one.

63% of the respondents said that paper/cardboard was the best for the environment, and 57% saying that it was the easiest material to recycle.

Using shrink wrap for packing has numerous practical benefits, besides their aesthetic appeal. A shrink wrap is an eco-friendly and lightweight plastic film that is draped around an article using a shrink wrap gun. If you’re looking for packaging shrink systems, our specialists can help.

At Tripak, we supply a variety of packing shrink systems, including ‘Hot Air Shrink Gun’, ‘PVC Shrink Film System’ and ‘Shrink Wrapper’.

In this post, we take a look at some of the top benefits of using shrink wrap.

Space Saving

Shrink wrap is a great way to pack several products together, thereby maximising storage. Warehouses and storerooms can use shrink wrap to stock a vast number of items by packing them together, thereby making good use of storage space.

Just imagine the number of extra items you can store in your refrigerator by wrapping vegetables and fruits in shrink wrap instead of putting them in cartons.

Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor of the Exchequer declared during the inaugural Budget presented by the majority government that plastic packaging would be taxed from 2022. The chancellor made it known that the levy on plastic packaging with recycled ingredients below 30% will be effective from April 2022. It is expected that the introduction of the new tax would go a long way in encouraging the uptake and use of biodegradable packaging by about 40%.

Mr Sunak announced that the proposed tax would prove instrumental in dealing with the menace of polluting plastics. The Treasury, on the other hand, proclaimed the allocation of £700,000 for bolstering the IT competencies needed to supervise the prospective ‘Extended Producer Responsibility’ packaging scheme. The chancellor also disclosed a proposal for withdrawing the tax waiver on red diesel-a highly polluting fossil fuel.

The move means that that businesses engaged in waste management and recycling will have to pay a subs

Sustainability is a subject that many industries are putting more emphasis on in the modern world of business. Saving on energy consumption and protecting the environment offers many advantages to the companies and the public. The packing industry has opted for green packaging too. And we are now creating eco-friendly packaging solutions & products that offer the following advantages.

Reducing Carbon Footprint

You are responsible for the amount of carbon dioxide that you release to the atmosphere as you carry out your company activities. Packing your products using green packing significantly reduces your carbon footprint. The package is made of recyclable materials, which means that you will be reducing consumption of non-renewable resources.

Versatility

You can pack anything using the green packaging materials. From food to electric equipment, you cannot miss a green package that works for your product. Any company can use these packages.
