Sustainable Folding Cartons

Folding cartons are a top choice among CPG brands because they are paper-based and widely perceived by consumers as sustainable. In a recent survey, respondents ranked their preferred packaging materials based on 15 environmental, aesthetic, and practical attributes. Paperboard packaging emerged as the top choice in 10 of the 15 categories. It is easily recyclable and made from responsibly sourced materials, making it an excellent option for sustainable packaging. As a leader in sustainable packaging, Meyers specializes in high-quality paperboard printing.

PCW Packaging Supplier


One of the most effective ways to demonstrate your brand’s commitment to sustainability is by incorporating Post-Consumer Waste (PCW) or Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content into your packaging. Consequently, many brands seek reliable PCW or PCR packaging suppliers. While sourcing and printing PCW content for paperboard packaging presents certain nuances, these challenges are significantly less daunting compared to those associated with plastic primary packaging, particularly in the health and beauty industry.


Meyers is proud to serve as a trusted PCW packaging supplier for many of our clients. In addition to sourcing and manufacturing these materials, our team excels in guiding brands through the transition to PCR packaging. With expertise in design, sales, and account management, we ensure a smooth and efficient process for our partners.

Nothing really. PCW stands for Post-Consumer Waste, while PCR stands for Post-Consumer Recycled. In either case, if we’re manufacturing something with one of those materials, it was consumer waste that got recycled and turned into a fresh material.

Many of the paper packaging products we manufacture meet most definitions of compostability or biodegradability. However, marketing packaging with these claims can be complex due to local and federal regulations, as well as certification body requirements. Please contact us to learn more about how we can create packaging for your brand that may qualify for one or both of these designations.

At Meyers, our expertise lies in sustainable folding cartons, so we do not supply standup pouches or other types of flexible packaging. However, we are happy to recommend a trusted flexible packaging supplier to support you and your brand.
