Sustainable Packaging That Performs: Materials, Tests, and Trade-offs

By Arkea-Tech • 5–6 min read

We treat sustainability like engineering: pick substrates with intent, test for reality, and remove unnecessary parts. No green-washing—just materials and geometry that hit price, performance, and footprint.

Recycled Board • 350 gsm • mono-material • Good printability • Recyclable stream Mono-PE Film • Lightweight • flexible • Easier sorting (single resin) • Lower transport footprint Vegetable Inks (Low VOC) Stable color gamut for most packaging jobs. Lower emissions vs solvent inks.
Pick substrates intentionally: recycled board, mono-PE films, and low-VOC inks cover most needs without drama.

Engineer for reality

Compression, humidity, abrasion—test them early. Flat-pack geometry is your friend: fewer cubic meters shipped, fewer breaks.

Stack test QC Checks • Drop test (1m) • Humidity exposure • Seal integrity
Real workflow: cartons ride a conveyor, stacks get tested, QC signs off before shipping.

Reduce parts, increase clarity

Every flap, insert, and finish adds cost. Clear messaging + fewer components = better UX and lower footprint.
