Compostable Packaging with Custom Design and Print Options

Plain solutions are not as attractive as printed ones. These would also be a good opportunity to promote your green brand. However, the scope for printing and designing is quite limited compared to other solutions. The reason is quite apparent: a compostable solution is meant to decompose and dissolve in soil, and when it contains various paints and colours, the decomposition process will slow. To avoid that sort of resistance, we use water-based and Soy inks. That way, these will not interfere with the composting process. The same stands true for the choice of add-ons and finishing. For that purpose, we use solutions aligned with the green phenomenon of your materials.

For instance, we would use stickers made from plant-based adhesives. If you need moisture-proof solutions, we will use films made from biodegradable plastic. In place of traditional glues, etc., we use die-cutting techniques that would enhance the look and appeal of your package in retail racks. Even if the solution requires some inserts, we would provide these in bio-degradable stock solutions. Apart from these, specific options can be applied to compostable and non-compostable solutions in London, UK.

FAQs On Custom Packaging

How is compostable packaging different from biodegradable packaging?
While compostable and biodegradable packaging break down over time, compostable packaging is designed to break down fully in a specific composting environment, turning into nutrient-rich compost. Biodegradable packaging, on the other hand, may break down over time but can leave behind harmful residues, depending on the conditions. Compostable packaging is a more reliable and eco-friendly option because it meets specific standards, such as ASTM D6400 or EN 13432, for breaking down in compost.
Is compostable packaging really better for the environment?
Yes, compostable packaging is generally better for the environment compared to traditional plastics, as it decomposes into natural components like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. When composted correctly, it helps reduce waste in landfills, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and contributes to healthy soil by adding organic matter. However, it’s important that compostable packaging is disposed of in the right conditions (industrial composting or home composting) to ensure it breaks down properly.
Can compostable boxes be used for food products?
Yes, compostable boxes is commonly used for food products. Packaging made from materials like PLA, corn-starch, or sugarcane pulp is safe for food contact and provides a sustainable alternative to plastic containers, trays, and utensils. It also helps reduce the environmental footprint of the food industry.
How long does compostable boxes take to break down?
The time it takes for compostable boxes to break down depends on the material used and the composting conditions. In an industrial composting facility, it can take as little as 90 days for the packaging to decompose. In a home composting system, the process may take longer, as the conditions are not always optimal for decomposition. The packaging must be exposed to heat, moisture, and microbes for it to break down efficiently.
