GO GREEN

Times are changing. Sustainability and environmental awareness are paramount in today’s society and marketplace, increasing the importance of recycling and waste reduction.

The environmental impact of non-degradable packaging is increasing and following the ban on exports of plastic waste this is an issue that needs to be urgently addressed.

Many leading retailers are now implementing stringent controls to reduce volumes, and more environmentally ethical alternatives are under development.

We have FIVE key criteria for our products to reach so that they meet environmentally friendly standards:

SUSTAINABILITY

TAPING + SEALING

SEALMORE® KRAFT HOT MELT TAPES

If you prefer to use a pressure- sensitive tape but want to stay green, Sealmore kraft paper tape with hot melt adhesive is your answer as it’s biodegradable. Available in natural kraft, it blends well with brown corrugated card and is less susceptible to creasing than plastic tape, so presentation is excellent.

SEALMORE® WATER ACTIVATED TAPES

Tegrabond tape is the ultimate eco-friendly case taping method. Made from natural kraft
paper carrier and starch adhesive it’s 100% sustainable, 100% biodegradable and 100% recyclable without having to
be segregated from cardboard.

SEALMORE® MASKING TAPES

Masking tape is also used for sealing packages when a temporary hold is needed that doesn’t
leave residue when removed.

VOID FILL

KRAFT PAPER VOID FILL & PADDING

As we’ve already mentioned, natural kraft paper is a sustainable, recyclable and biodegradable packaging material, and our Pacplan X-FILL and X-PAD quickly convert it from compact paper stacks to high-bulk void
fill and padding material.

BIOFILM AIR PILLOWS

Pacplan Biofilm is made from natural by-products of the potato processing industry – sustainable use of material that would otherwise go to waste.

AIR PILLOW VOID FILL

Air pillows are the Big Momma of bubble wrap, but you get a lot more fill for the same amount of plastic.

CARDBOARD SHREDDERS

Energy-efficient motor technology is just one High Five credential of this product range, but that’s not all. Ranging from compact benchtop to freestanding three-phase with dust extraction, these powerful shredders make light work of turning waste corrugated packaging into free, useful packing material. With the flick of a flap, it can change between high-bulk void fill to protective matting for carton lining, interleaving and wrapping.

EDGE PROTECTION

EDGE BOARDS

Six-ply corrugated cardboard is excellent for absorbing impacts and these corner and edge protectors are popular for transportation and storage of larger items such as appliances.

CORRUGATED CORNER & EDGE PROTECTORS

Made entirely of sustainable, recyclable content, these kraft-lined edge protectors defend large and palletised consignments from damagecaused by strap tension, edge impact and dislodged cartons. Used in combination with strapping, they also eliminate the need for plastic stretch wrap – another environmental plus-point.

MAILING

JIFFY® PADDED MAILING BAG

Made entirely from natural fibres, these now famous padded mailing bags have been in production since 1967 and still continue to provide protection for millions of products sold through e-commerce.

GREEN DOCUMENTS

No need to spoil the packaging’s green credentials by sticking a plastic envelope on the outside – these enclosed wallets are the perfect oxo-biodegradable alternative.
