Eco Look vs. Eco Reality
An eco-friendly carton should:
- Look natural (kraft, white, uncoated)
- Be recyclable
- Use minimal ink
- Avoid plastic
- Have simple, clean design
Certification FSC
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification means:
- Paper comes from responsibly managed forests
- You can use the FSC logo on your packaging
- Builds credibility with eco-conscious buyers
Greenwashing to Avoid
Don’t claim:
- “100% eco” — unless every component is
- “Zero waste” — every product has some impact
- “Biodegradable” — unless it actually is
Do claim:
- “FSC-certified paper”
- “Recyclable carton”
- “Made with recycled content”
- “No plastic lamination”
Par type de produit

Cadeaux | Textured white or kraft |

Common Eco Packaging Mistakes
- Claiming “eco” without proof — Get FSC certification
- Plastic lamination on “eco” boxes — Contradiction
- Too much ink on “eco” boxes — Less ink = better
- No recycling instructions — Tell customers how to recycle
- Ignoring print quality — Eco doesn’t have to look cheap
