Our long-standing success is built on customisation, flexibility, and a keen understanding of what different industries demand from their packaging.
But we’re not just focused on what’s worked in the past—we’re paving the future of responsible packaging with our sustainable paper sack solutions.
Why Paper Over Plastic?
Paper sacks are fast becoming the preferred choice for companies aiming to meet sustainability targets or demonstrate strong corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Here’s why:
- Biodegradable & recyclable: Unlike plastic, paper sacks decompose naturally and are widely recycled in existing municipal systems.
- Lower carbon footprint: Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) consistently show that paper sacks consume less fossil fuel energy and emit fewer greenhouse gases than plastic alternatives.
- Sourced responsibly: Our sacks are made using sustainably managed forestry products, often certified under FSC® or PEFC™ schemes.
- Customer perception: Shoppers increasingly value sustainable packaging—making paper a wise brand and PR choice.
In short, paper sacks reduce environmental impact and align with government regulations and evolving consumer expectations.
