How can we make gift packaging more environmentally friendly and low-carbon?
In today's society, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, low-carbon living has become a trend. For enterprises, environmental sustainability is not only a global trend but also a responsibility that must be undertaken during
the development process. It is also an opportunity and driving force for the innovative development and transformation of enterprises.
As an important tool for showcasing company characteristics, conveying operational concepts, and enhancing the relationship between partners, corporate gifts have become extremely important in terms of environmental
protection. In this context, gift packaging is not only a display of the appearance of gifts but also a key link to reflect the environmental protection concept of gifts. Starting from multiple aspects, achieving low-carbon gift
packaging not only helps to reduce resource waste and carbon emissions but also helps enterprises better demonstrate their sustainability and provide important assistance for green marketing. So, what aspects should we start with to make the
packaging of our gifts and products more environmentally friendly?
01: Using more environmentally friendly and low-carbon materials to make packaging
Choosing environmentally friendly materials is a way to minimize packaging carbon emissions and achieve low-carbon packaging. For example, some companies use natural materials such as recycled paper or bamboo fiber
to make gift boxes,which are not only biodegradable but also have relatively low carbon emissions during the production process.
02: Design packaging using a single material.
The environmental friendliness of packaging can not only be reflected in the production process but also in whether gift packaging can better enter the next recycling process after being discarded, which is a problem that packaging designers
need to consider.Using a single material to design packaging can greatly facilitate recycling after packaging is discarded. This principle has actually been widely adopted in packaging design in the food industry.
03: Reusable Design
Making gift packaging reusable through design is another important way to reduce the carbonization of gift packaging. Extending the service life of packaging can prevent environmental pollution from gift packaging waste in the short term and
reduce the overall carbon emissions of gift packaging.
04: Emphasize the transportability of packaging design.
At the beginning, many packaging designs may become too complicated, not only pursuing the ceremonial feeling of gifts but also having some transportation and other needs. For example, because gifts need to be portable, it is often
necessary to add a packaging bag outside the packaging box. Now, we can combine these functionalities through the industrial design of gift packaging, balancing transportation and portability in packaging.
