Sustainability FAQ.
Q: Is sustainable packaging more expensive?
A: Initially, specialized materials can cost 5-10% more. However, by optimizing the structure (Value Engineering), we can often offset this cost. Furthermore, being eco-friendly can reduce taxes in certain countries and significantly increase brand value.
Q: Can I get my logo printed with eco-friendly ink?
A: Absolutely. We use high-quality soy-based inks that provide excellent color saturation while being much safer for the environment than traditional petroleum-based inks.
