Everyone knows paper is recyclable, but did you know there's paper that can't be recycled? Many paper products are also laminated with thin plastic films or with other un-recyclable material for durability and leak-proofing. These layers are glued or lined, making them impossible to separate and entirely unrecyclable. In the work I do, this is often the case with laminate-finished paper in printed leaflets, stickers, brochures, and food packaging like takeout boxes and paper cups. 💎 Brands committing to sustainability can choose to avoid lamination in their printed marketing materials and point-of-sale material (POSM). 💎 Opting for lamination-free print items not only delivers significant cost savings but also makes positive environmental impacts. It reduces plastic use and improves recyclability. 💎 So, next time you do marketing print items for campaigning do not laminate the paper. #PaperRecyclability #sustainableprinting #printsustainably #sustainablemarketing #sustainability #sustainabilitytips

My clients tend to want a ‘planet friendly’ solution – without compromising on quality. Now, I’m not an expert on sustainable print, by any means – but luckily, I don’t have to be – because “I know a man who is”. Steve Davis, at SD Solutions. With years of experience in the print trade, he’s garnered a wealth of industry knowledge – Steve has become my ‘go to’ to discuss anything about print.

In the studio, our commitment extends beyond just crafting the right message for our clients. We're deeply invested in ensuring that packaging materials not only serve their purpose but also contribute positively to the environment. Considering the vast range of products lining the shelves of supermarkets, packaging emerges as a significant concern. Is it workable to consistently opt for eco-friendly packaging in such a competitive market? The answer isn't always a simple yes. While there's a growing demand for sustainable packaging, there are challenges in sourcing and implementing these materials on a large scale. Moreover, eco-friendly materials must not only be accessible but also embraced by consumers. Are everyone prepared for that? This requires both a shift in cultural mindset and an investment in educational initiatives to promote the benefits of eco-conscious choices. There's a spectrum of options available, but their adoption relies on consumer awareness and demand. And that its an important point In the printing area, the choice of inks plays a pivotal role in reducing environmental impact. Educating clients and designers about the benefits of using fewer colors or opting for non-toxic ink formulations can significantly contribute to sustainability efforts. By simplifying where possible, we not only reduce our ecological footprint but also demonstrate that simplicity can indeed be synonymous with excellence. #packagingsolutions #packagingdesign #brandesign #designthinking #paulalewdesign
