Across the globe, a change in mindset is underway whereby the sustainability of packaging is becoming recognized as good business. With sustainability increasingly part of their value proposition, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and retail companies are taking steps while fulfilling their commitments towards improving the recycling potential of their packaging.

At its most base level, packaging forms an essential component when it comes to protecting a particular product. For instance, within grocery supply chains, the primary role of packaging pertains to taking care of highly perishable items to ensure the secure and cost-effective delivery of these goods throughout the entire supply chain. In this regard, there has been concern overuse of less plastic in the supply chain in the past few years. For various organizations, this means that they need to strike a careful balance ensuring the safe delivery of products with packaging that is aligned with meeting the sustainability quotient.

Increased Awareness About Sustainability

With increased awareness about sustainability, the industry is witnessing a trend such as recyclable packaging, which is becoming increasingly common. This can, in fact, also play a substantial role in reverse logistics, whereby packaging is recovered and redistributed after being used by the end-consumer, and absorbed into the supply chain for recycling.

As sustainable packaging demand grows, innovative technology is essential. The sustainability trend began in products and has evolved into product packaging. In this regard, Impress Communications is an innovator and solution-focused packaging provider for top multinational brands and emerging start-ups that are founded on innovation. The Impress DNA is structured around disrupting norms and finding unique channels for brands to differentiate themselves.

Concept of innovation Intertwined with High Standards of Quality and Value

At Impress Communications, the concept of innovation is always intertwined with high standards of quality and value. While price is always a factor, particularly amid tougher economic periods, Impress Communications’ mantra is to ensure that they are always providing more than the expected value. This remains the core differentiator, as well as the best way the company can help its customers grow.

As every innovative printing business knows, keeping faith with a pledge like that means investing in whatever it will take to honor the commitment — something the company hasn’t hesitated to do. The print and packaging specialists at Impress Communications keep an eye on the techniques, materials, and capabilities that will drive tomorrow. The company’s significant capital investments remain the key to keeping it five years ahead of the curve.

As such, some of the most important customer collaborations are with companies that share a similar outlook and are actively looking to bring transformative products to market with a large focus on sustainability. Impress Communications began with a core competency in commercial printing and packaging. However, unlike much of the industry, Impress adopted an organizational philosophy of continuous innovation and evolution that has continued to drive its capabilities above and beyond the world of printing. Impress continues to push the industry’s sustainability standards leading the way with North America’s first High-Efficiency UV (H-UV) presses, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 75% and exclusively using inks, coatings, and glues that are Prop 65-compliant.

Environmentally-Friendly Impress Communications

In addition, environmentally-friendly Impress Communications’ shelf-ready packaging fulfills the environmental aspects associated with the sustainable product design: Reduced paper-weight and the deployment of specific types of corrugated cardboard suited for this purpose save resources while also boosting the stability of the retail packaging. Selected raw materials from certified sources are used to produce this packaging. This packaging is thus both affordable to produce and easy to recycle, setting a marker for high environmental standards in shelf-ready packaging from corrugated boards.
