Why Eco-Friendly Packaging Matters
Consumer expectations around sustainability continue to grow, with many customers actively seeking businesses that demonstrate environmental responsibility. Adopting eco-friendly packaging can help businesses reduce waste, improve recyclability, and support broader sustainability objectives.
In addition to environmental benefits, sustainable packaging can strengthen brand reputation, meet customer expectations, and help businesses align with changing industry standards and regulations. Small changes, such as switching to paper tape or recyclable packaging materials, can contribute to meaningful long-term improvements.
Simple Ways to Switch to Eco Packaging
Making your packaging more sustainable can often be achieved through straightforward product changes, including:
-Replacing plastic wrapping materials with kraft paper.
-Using recyclable cardboard boxes instead of plastic packaging wherever possible.
-Switching from plastic tape to self-adhesive paper tape.
-Choosing paper-based envelopes for document and postal requirements.
-Incorporating recyclable void fill materials to protect products in transit.
These adjustments can help businesses reduce their reliance on plastic packaging whilst maintaining product protection and presentation standards.

Cardboard Boxes
Our recyclable cardboard boxes provide a strong and sustainable packaging solution for businesses across a wide range of industries. Manufactured from corrugated cardboard, these boxes offer excellent protection during storage and transit whilst supporting recycling initiatives. Suitable for shipping, warehousing, removals and eCommerce fulfilment, cardboard boxes remain one of the most versatile and environmentally responsible packaging choices available. Many are produced using recycled materials and can be recycled again after use, helping to support a circular packaging economy.
Self-Adhesive Paper Tape
Our self-adhesive paper tape offers an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic packaging tape. Designed for sealing cardboard cartons and parcels, paper tape provides a secure bond whilst remaining fully recyclable alongside the box. Ideal for businesses looking to simplify recycling processes and reduce plastic usage, self-adhesive paper tape combines practicality with sustainability, making it a popular choice for eco-conscious packaging operations.
Kraft Paper
Kraft paper is one of the most versatile eco-friendly packaging materials available. Commonly used for wrapping, cushioning and void filling, it helps protect products during transit whilst remaining fully recyclable and widely accepted through paper recycling streams. Available in sheets and rolls, kraft paper is an excellent replacement for plastic-based wrapping materials and can be used across a variety of packaging applications, from retail fulfilment to warehouse packing stations.
Void Fill
Protecting products doesn't have to rely on plastic packaging. Our range of packing chips provides an effective void fill solution that helps reduce movement inside cartons and minimise the risk of damage during transportation. By using environmentally conscious void fill materials, businesses can improve product protection whilst supporting sustainability initiatives and reducing unnecessary packaging waste.
Mailing Bags
We also offer a selection of mailing bags designed to support more sustainable shipping practices. Lightweight and efficient, mailing bags can help reduce packaging weight and minimise transportation-related emissions when compared to larger packaging formats. Suitable for clothing, accessories, printed materials, and other non-fragile items, they provide a practical solution for businesses seeking to optimise both packaging efficiency and environmental performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can flutelopes replace bubble wrap envelopes for posting books and small items?
Flutelopes can be an excellent packaging option for books, documents, photographs, brochures and other flat items that benefit from rigid protection. Manufactured from corrugated board, they help prevent bending, creasing and crushing during transit. Whilst bubble-lined envelopes provide cushioned protection for delicate products, Flutelopes offer a sturdy alternative for items where maintaining shape and presentation are priorities. The best choice will depend on the type of item being posted and the level of protection required.
2. Is sustainable packaging a good option for Etsy sellers?
Yes, sustainable packaging is becoming increasingly popular amongst Etsy sellers as many customers actively look for environmentally responsible businesses. Using recyclable cardboard boxes, kraft paper, paper tape and paper-based envelopes can help reduce packaging waste whilst supporting a positive brand image. Sustainable packaging can also enhance the customer experience by demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility, which may encourage repeat purchases and positive reviews.
3. Gummed paper tape vs plastic tape: how do they differ?
Gummed paper tape and plastic tape both provide effective carton sealing solutions, but they differ in terms of materials and recyclability. Gummed paper tape is paper-based and can often be recycled alongside cardboard packaging, helping to simplify the recycling process. Plastic tape is typically manufactured from polypropylene or similar materials and usually needs to be separated from cardboard before recycling. Many businesses choose paper tape as part of their efforts to reduce plastic usage and support more sustainable packaging operations.
4. What is honeycomb wrap?
Honeycomb wrap is a paper-based protective packaging material designed as an alternative to traditional plastic cushioning products. It features a unique honeycomb structure that expands when stretched, creating a protective layer around products during transit. Honeycomb wrap is commonly used for wrapping glassware, cosmetics, ceramics, gifts and other delicate items. Its recyclable paper construction makes it a popular choice for businesses looking to improve the sustainability of their packaging processes.
5. Is there any specific packaging for wine bottle shipping?
Yes, wine bottles require specialist packaging to help protect them during storage and transportation. At Redmont, we offer wine boxes specifically designed to securely hold and protect bottles in transit. These boxes help minimise movement, reduce the risk of breakage and provide a more professional shipping solution for wineries, retailers, gift suppliers and eCommerce businesses. Choosing purpose-designed wine packaging can help ensure bottles arrive safely whilst improving presentation and customer satisfaction.
