Specify the complete bag

Ask for the proposed paper and handle materials and identify any laminated or reinforced components. Check how environmental statements apply to the finished bag in the market where it will be used.

Use precise, supported material claims

Ask for evidence tied to the complete proposed pack, and distinguish recycled content, recyclability and compostability. Confirm the relevant collection or disposal conditions in the market where the packaging will be used.

Details to include in your inquiry

  • Paper composition
  • Handle material
  • Coating and reinforcement
  • Destination market

Include the requested quantity, artwork status and delivery destination. Confirm available materials, sample requirements, pricing and timing in the written quotation.

Questions about this packaging

Are recycled content and recyclability the same thing?

No. Recycled content describes material used to make the pack. Recyclability concerns how the finished pack can be collected and processed after use. Ask for information supporting each claim separately.
