Discover a range of sustainable eco-friendly packaging solutions to help your business move away from traditional single-use plastic and other packaging, which often ends up in landfill, to more environmentally-friendly choices.
We can produce bespoke printed packaging using a range of recycled, recyclable and compostable materials. From packaging boxes and cartons to bespoke branded packaging, we’ll help you find a solution that balances presentation, performance and environmental considerations.
With over 38 years of experience in print and packaging, we combine our expertise in design, printing and finishing with an ongoing commitment to reducing our environmental impact.
Eco-friendly packaging is designed to reduce its environmental impact through the materials used, how it is produced and what happens to it at the end of its useful life. Depending on the application, this can include packaging made from recycled or responsibly sourced materials, recyclable packaging and compostable alternatives.
There isn’t one packaging material that is right for every application. The most suitable option will depend on your product, the protection required, how the packaging will be used and its intended end of life. Our experienced team can help you select an appropriate material and production method for your requirements.
We offer a range of environmentally considered packaging options, including recycled, recyclable and compostable packaging. We can also produce packaging using FSC-certified materials, helping businesses make more responsible choices without compromising on quality or presentation.
Using recycled materials can help reduce the reliance on virgin raw materials while still providing a professional, high-quality finish.
Recyclable packaging can provide an alternative to packaging made from materials that are difficult to recover after use.
For suitable applications, compostable packaging can provide an alternative to conventional packaging materials.
We produce bespoke printed packaging for businesses across a wide range of industries, including retail, cosmetics, food and drink, healthcare, manufacturing, gifts and promotional products.
Whether you need a small quantity of bespoke packaging or larger-volume production, we’ll work with you to identify a suitable material and production method for your requirements.
Our approach to sustainable packaging extends beyond the packaging itself. Platinum has ISO 14001 environmental accreditation and uses FSC-certified stock across our print operations.
We have also invested in modern, efficient production technology and processes designed to reduce waste and environmental impact. These include remote digital proofing, chemistry-free plate making and modern printing equipment with ink-reduction technology.
We continually review our materials, processes and operations to identify opportunities to work more efficiently and responsibly.
As a Carbon Balanced Printer, we support the Carbon Balanced Programme and the World Land Trust’s work to protect threatened habitats and wildlife.
Becoming Carbon Balanced forms part of our wider commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our printing and packaging operations and making more responsible choices throughout our business.
Our environmental commitment doesn’t stop when your packaging leaves our production facility.
Since 2010, we have operated a free brown box recycling scheme, collecting used Platinum packaging boxes so they can be recycled rather than simply becoming waste.
It’s one of the practical ways we continue to look at the complete lifecycle of the materials we use and reduce unnecessary waste wherever possible.
With over 38 years of experience in commercial print and packaging, Platinum combines packaging design, printing and finishing expertise with a strong environmental commitment.
Our in-house team can help you choose appropriate materials, develop your packaging artwork and manage production through to the finished product. Having design and production capabilities under one roof means we can consider the environmental, practical and visual requirements of your packaging from the outset.
We understand that every packaging project is different, so we’ll work with you to find a solution that is appropriate for your product, brand and requirements.
We’re proud to have worked with businesses across a wide range of sectors to produce bespoke packaging and printed products.
From recycled and FSC-certified materials to innovative packaging formats, our projects demonstrate that environmentally considered packaging can still deliver the quality, presentation and impact that businesses require.
