4 Reasons Why Cardboard Is A Good Packaging Material

Leave a Comment / Uncategorised / By Essex Tube Windings

The evolution of packaging has been a gradual process, as over the years it was adapted to transport more than just food items. Today, nearly anything can be preserved by using this technology and that’s because we now have so many options for materials and styles.

Cardboard has been used for containing products since the 19th century and it is still so prevalent in our society today. With this, we decided to observe exactly why cardboard is such a good packaging material.

1. Recyclable

The environmental benefits of cardboard are immense. It is not only recyclable, but it does not require special treatment to dispose of and most places will pick up your old cardboard packaging through their recycling program so you aren’t wasting energy getting rid of them by dumping them in the bin or burning them!

The production of recycled cardboard reduces up to 60% the carbon emissions and oil consumption compared with other materials, which is why many companies in the world use it in abundance.

Cardboard is an amazing sustainable resource because it can be made from other recycled products, just like our products at Essex tubes. All cardboard tubes we produce here consist of recyclable materials as we try to make sure we have a zero-waste process for production.

2. Versatility

Cardboard is flexible, strong and adaptable. It can be creatively adapted to suit any size or shape product you have in mind, which is why there are so many variations of it, including postal tubes.

With the use of advanced design techniques like folding cardboard boxes into multi-use containers, certain shapes are achievable that were never before imaginable!

Brands have been using cardboard packaging for years to offer consumers use after the product has been purchased, one example being clothes brands that create hangers out of their reused cardboard.

Because of its ability to be made into convenient shapes, it also means that when transporting things, it is much easier to carry and manoeuvre. 

3. Cost-effective

One of the main benefits of cardboard packaging is that it’s much cheaper, with many businesses opting for this solution. This doesn’t mean that using cardboard compromises quality or safety.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective and lightweight packaging option, then give corrugated cardboard a try. The material is robust enough to provide protection but doesn’t weigh your product down the way heavy materials can.

When you order your cardboard in bulk, it can save a great deal on packaging costs. 

Additionally, because the boxes are usually delivered flatpack and take up minimal space when ordered in bulk, they will be there for you to take advantage of while not cluttering up all that room where nothing is being stored at this point.

Cardboard is an eco-friendly and cost-effective packaging option for many products because of its lightweight design. Cardboard saves on fuel costs as it creates a more streamlined product to transport, saving you money in the process!

Fuel efficiency is beneficial in so many ways. Save on fuel costs, reduce your carbon footprint and take a step closer to sustainable living.

If you need to transport your goods for a long period of time or want them safe from moisture and other elements that might damage the product; then cardboard is perfect. 

The material is durable enough to withstand all sorts of conditions while keeping its shape so nothing will get damaged on the journey, potentially saving money in the long run.

4. Customisation

Cardboard is a simple material that can be transformed in many ways to create something unique, like with our custom cardboard tubes. 

You have the opportunity to print on it, emboss it and even put shapes or designs into its surface so you get an individualized product for your company.

Creative and engaging cardboard packaging is the perfect way to protect your products with a burst of colour. 

Boxes are dull by default but using colours, logos or other images can make them stand out on shelves for customers! You could use the blank canvas that they provide you as an opportunity to promote your brand even more boldly!

Cardboard Tube Packaging Solutions

At Essex Tube Windings, we specialise in providing cardboard tube packaging, which is perfect for storing artwork and other items that can commonly vary in size.

While we are dedicated to cardboard tubes, we believe that all cardboard packaging solutions deserve to be promoted.

As an environmentally conscious company, we simply believe in further sharing our knowledge of what benefits our environment with the hope that others will take steps to ensure they adopt the same approach to the production of packaging products too.

We hope that this article will be of use to you next time you are considering what to choose with regards to materials for packaging.
