Common questions

Eco-packaging FAQs

Is all your kraft packaging FSC-certified?
Yes. All our kraft board is FSC-certified, meaning it comes from responsibly managed forests. The board is fully recyclable in kerbside collections across the UK.
What's FlexHold and how does it replace plastic void fill?
FlexHold is a clever cardboard net insert that suspends your product securely inside the box. It replaces plastic bubble wrap, air pillows and foam — and it's fully recyclable with the box. Just as protective, zero plastic waste.
Can I print full-colour designs on kraft board?
Absolutely. We use water-based digital inks to print directly onto kraft. The colours come out muted and earthy (no bright whites or neon), which gives a premium, natural look. No plates or setup fees — just upload your artwork.
What's the minimum order for kraft boxes?
We print from as few as 30 boxes, so you can trial sustainable packaging without committing to massive volumes. Perfect for smaller brands or product launches.
How quickly can you turn around eco-packaging?
Standard kraft boxes can be as quick as next working day, depending on size and quantity. FlexHold inserts add a day or two. You'll see lead times at checkout before you commit.
Will the kraft box protect my products in the post?
Yes. Our kraft board is strong, corrugated where needed, and paired with FlexHold for cushioning. It passes the same drop and vibration tests as conventional packaging — just without the plastic.
Do you offer custom sizes for eco-packaging?
Yes. We can die-cut custom sizes in kraft board to fit your products perfectly. Just get in touch with dimensions and we'll quote you. All digital, no tooling charges.
