Paper And Cardboard Tube Packaging: Which Businesses Can Benefit From Them?

We all know the dangers and adverse effects of climate change. How glaciers are melting and how desserts are turning green. It might seem insignificant if we look at these climate changes individually, but collectively, they lead us toward doom.

Climate change is no joke; as more and more animals are becoming extinct and more places are getting affected, people are becoming conscious of this vicious thing. And some people and businesses are making sustainable choices to help against climate change.

One of the most noticeable things businesses are doing nowadays is choosing sustainable packaging like paper tube packaging, cardboard boxes, paper bags, and much more. Again, this may sound insignificant, but at least they are playing their part and are not becoming the cause of widespread plastic and other non-recyclable materials.

But which businesses can take a cue from those that are using unsustainable packaging? Let’s find out.

Five businesses that can use sustainable packaging ideas

Technology has advanced so much that creating custom paper tubes or other packaging types is no issue; all that is needed is a will to save the planet.

Health and Wellness Industry

The health and wellness industry covers everything from medicines to ointments and from recovery tools to massage oils. Every item included in the health and wellness industry can be easily packed in varying packaging.

For example, if you want to pack a deodorant, you can put it in a cardboard tube packaging sturdy enough to last as long as the deo itself. This way, you will save the planet and also the deodorant.

Jewelry Industry

It doesn’t matter what kind of jewelry you sell at your business because how you pack it can make a huge difference. Jewelry is something that can easily be packed in paper or cardboard packaging because such packaging can keep the jewelry safe from any moisture and any foreign substance. And not to mention, jewelry in cardboard or paper packaging gives a grand and vintage look.

For example, if you want to pack a bracelet, putting it in a small cardboard box and a paper bag will make it look wonderfully adorable.

Food Industry

Most of the food industry has already shifted to cardboard and paper packaging boxes, which is a fantastic thing considering that everyone buys food and everyone is being positively affected by this. Apart from being sustainable, food can even stay fresh when packed in such packaging and can also prolong its shelf life.

For safety and sustainability, food businesses like bakeries, home-based foods, and natural foods (fruits and veggies) can be easily packed in paper/cardboard.

For example, when selling buns or biscuits at your bakery, you can tightly pack them in paper and then double-wrap them in paper and a cardboard box to maintain freshness.

Handcrafted Products

This is mainly for small businesses that sell handmade products. Since paper and cardboard packaging is available in various sizes, it can be used to pack almost anything. From resin artworks to handmade jewelry, bags to hand-painted pots, and everything in between, can be adjusted in paper or cardboard packing. 

You can also design the packing according to your business to give it a rugged and vintage look. For example, if you have a company of handmade and hand-painted vases/ceramics, you can perfectly wrap and pack them in different layers of paper and cardboard to protect them from breaking.

Stationary Industry

Stationery includes everything: pens, pencils, files, holders, paints, colors, diaries, etc. And every stationary item can be quickly and adorably packed into paper or cardboard packaging. Since stationery is a delightful item, it looks fantastic in paper packing and looks welcoming and magical.  

Each stationary type can be packed in a fancy or plain paper packaging with frills and paper ribbons to give it a festive and attractive look.

For example, if your business specializes in pens, you can get a cute cardboard box made specifically for your pens and then pack it gracefully.

These were just five businesses (but even more can benefit from it) that can help the environment be healthier and greener with a little initiative of using degradable packaging. So, play your part in sustainability today with small steps!
