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.

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.
FSC® certification is your assurance that forests and supply chains are independently audited. By choosing FSC®-certified products, you support responsible forest management that helps protect biodiversity, upholds workers’ and Indigenous Peoples’ rights, and promotes transparency and accountability in forest supply chains. www.fsc.org
