Today, one thing is almost universally true for brands in the retail space: everyone is looking for a competitive edge in the market. Margins are already tight and customers are blasted with increasing amounts of advertising: offering free shipping is no longer cutting it in high states online rivalries. In order to get a slice of the pie, companies are having to get creative by offering ever more high-quality customer experiences. 

So while the popularity of e-commerce continues to grow, so does sustainability, and consumers are increasingly to their favorite brands to (literally) deliver eco-friendly packaging options that are recyclable.

E-commerce retailers on the other hand, favor branded boxes. Just a few short years ago, product boxes were the only branded e-commerce packaging, but increasingly, brands are looking to brand shipping boxes, too, in a bid to offer a more competitive and premium experience.

Customers, for their part, love fully branded boxes shipping boxes, but they are also savvier when it comes to what is – and isn’t easily recyclable. Already they know that mixing PET outer-liners with cardboard can be complicated for some recycling facilities to handle, so paper, although ‘old school’ is firmly back in vogue in packaging – both from the consumer and the brand standpoint.

And it isn’t just consumers looking for environmentally friendly packaging options. Online vendors also recognise the need to explore plastic-free product packaging, but for many, it isn’t as easy as simply reverting back to basics with unicolour cardboard boxes:  companies offering high-end goods can hardly forgo branding and luxury finishes on packaging, and they understandably want to provide an attractive and memorable visual experience when unwrapping products.
