Pathway to sustainable packaging
Our goal at JohnsByrne is to assist our customers along the path to a more sustainable package. We do this by leveraging multiple elements to deliver sustainable packaging solutions including:
- Creative structural design that can reduce the amount of outer packaging.
- Leverage and support the use of recognized certifications, including FSC and PEFC.
- Reducing the use of virgin paperboard, by using high percentages of post-consumer waste.
- Leveraging inks, foils, and embellishments that make packaging standout, but still represent a responsible consideration for our environment.
- Combine the best structure with optimal paperboard, to align with our customers needs.
