Eco-friendly mailer boxes and materials
Packaging your customers can put straight in the recycling bin, without giving up a premium look.
What makes a box recyclable
- Single material: corrugated board or card only, with no plastic windows or plastic lamination.
- Water-based inks: low-odour inks that don't stop the board being recycled.
- Paper tape and card inserts: instead of plastic tape and foam.
- Recycled content: ask for recycled-content board in your quote.
Some finishes, like plastic lamination, foil and plastic windows, make recycling harder. We'll always tell you which options keep your box recyclable.

US packaging laws
A growing number of US states have Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws for packaging, including corrugated boxes. Choosing recyclable, single-material boxes now keeps you ahead as rules roll out. We list the material and weight per box on every invoice.
This is general information, not legal advice. Check the current rules for your business.
