Never has it been more important for consumer facing products to be sustainable and environmentally friendly. Some popular Instagram accounts such as Pointless Packaging base their entire existence on highlighting excessive single use plastic wrapping and styrofoam packaging. Consumers are increasingly willing to change their spending habits to avoid egregious packaging and support plastic-free shopping.

Like the customers, we also believe in the sustainability of cardboard versus plastic and other materials for packing, packaging and displays.

At n.smith we adopt the philosophies of Reduction and Recycling in order to help ensure the sustainability of your business. Corrugated cardboard is the number one most recycling packaging, accounting for 84% of all recycling in the UK.

Recycling a tonne of cardboard helps save:

• 209 litres of oil
• 4000kW of electricity
• 9 cubic yards of landfill space
• 17 trees
• 31,822 litres of water

In terms of store shelves, there’s a tangible benefit to your products appearing in cardboard Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) and Retail Ready Packaging (RRP). Customers look for and appreciate cardboard packaging, both by helping lend a premium veneer to a product range (our team of creatives are here to help you out here) and by virtue of it simply not being plastic.

Tailored cardboard product packaging can also help to reduce the quantity (and costs) of cardboard required. By using cardboards which are fully recyclable, you are already reducing the impact of your business on the environment.

The Food & Drink Expo will be taking place 5 – 7 July 2021 at the NEC in Birmingham. It represents one of the first opportunities for us to get back out there in exhibition spaces.

In-store it can become all too easy for products to get lost in the miles upon miles of aisles and shelves. Being seen is the first and most important step toward being bought but it’s not the only one. This is where Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) can become crucial for being picked up by stores and for being noticed by customers.

The core values of SRP are known as the ‘5 Easies’. 5 crucial aspects we can work through with you to ensure you make your products as buyable as possible. 

The Shelf Ready Packaging ‘5 Easies’:

With the country gradually opening up and returning back to normality, it’s now only a matter of time until we’re back to doing all the things we’re used to in the business world, such as exhibitions and events where we can meet new clients and rub shoulders with others in our industry. It is time to get noticed at trade events and exhibitions with bespoke cardboard displays.

Pallet displays are the perfect solution to go from manufacturing onto the shop floor, whilst keeping your brand clearly displayed for all to see and are also a great way for retailers to display, advertise and ultimately sell your products. 

A branded pallet will attract more attention not just from the buying customer but also by the retailers who will always show a preference to branded pallets, over plain pallets and display them in prominent locations around the store to attract better foot fall.

At n.smith, we design and create eye-catching displays from full pallet wraps to pallet skirts, in short or long runs, for small one off promotions to large run national campaigns.
