Consumers of all types of products are becoming increasingly aware of how their purchasing choices have an impact on the earth. Gone are the days when people gave no thought to the landfill the packaging of a much-loved product ended up in. With this growing trend of consumers expecting sustainable packaging choices from companies, companies across many sectors are going to great lengths to achieve sustainability in all parts of their businesses. Shrink sleeves offer a great opportunity to make a positive impact on the planet and on your customers’ packaging choices.
Some types of packaging are, as we know, less sustainable and harder on the environment than others. Many communities across the United States have seen incredible advances in their recycling programs, but people still often wonder exactly what can be recycled and what steps you have to take before recycling product packaging. If the only packaging on your container is a shrink sleeve printed by Dion Label Printing, and the container itself is made of a recyclable material, the answers to those questions are easy. Because shrink sleeves are applied using a non-adhesive heat process, it is easy to remove the label before composting or recycling. There is no residual adhesive left on the product container, which is great news as adhesive elements have been known to contaminate recycling systems.
Shrink sleeves offer further benefits to companies thinking about sustainability. They weigh significantly less than traditional labels, so they can be shipped more easily and economically with less packing material. Shrink sleeves can save your company from having to considering using secondary packaging because of their increased print space and their ability to incorporate a tamper-evident safety seal right onto the main product label. You can also use shrink sleeves for wrapping more than one product together in a combo pack, helping to further reduce packaging waste and save shelf space.
If your company wants to participate in the transition towards sustainable packaging, shrink sleeves offer a great number of benefits. At Dion we strive to implement strategies to reduce our impact on the environment; let us help you do so as well! Read more about our eco-friendly processes
