Green trays, judged on the whole pack rather than the tray
A green tray inside a pack that still contains a plastic window and a foam pad is not a green pack. This is the mistake worth avoiding, because it is the one that gets noticed - a customer who finds plastic inside a fiber box is more critical than one who expected plastic all along.
How we approach a green packaging brief:
- Inventory the pack first. List every component: tray, pad, window, label, bag, tape. The fiber tray only fixes the parts it replaces.
- Design the tray to replace more than one. A moulded tray can absorb the platform, the divider and the pad, which is where most of the virgin material sits.
- Keep print on the fiber. A printed mark on the tray avoids a label that has to be removed before recycling.
- Confirm the disposal route honestly. Paper stream where the pack allows it, commercial composting where the application calls for it.
The result is usually a pack with fewer parts and a lower material count than the one it replaced - which is a stronger position than a fiber tray added to a pack that stayed the same.
MOQ is 10,000 pieces per design; tooling 7–15 days; production 15–25 days after sample approval. Send your current pack specification and we will show what a fiber version can remove - or browse the molded pulp range.
