E-commerce packaging supplier UCanPack has announced its 100% recycled corrugated shipping box line said to be “customizable, durable, and affordable”.
The company says the boxes are available in over 1,000 sizes and designed for efficient logistics, aiming to reduce emissions through flat-packed designs. The boxes are also said to meet retailer compliance standards for Amazon, Walmart and Target, ensuring “seamless” automation and delivery.
Apparently, the boxes are sourced from post-consumer and post-industrial content verified by FSC and SFI certifications and can have full-colour CMYK printing with Algae Ink, starting at 100 units. There are optional QR codes for links to product tutorials or loyalty programs, and UCan Pack states every component is recyclable in most U.S. municipal facilities.
UCanPack claims that by using its boxes businesses can reduce packaging waste which accounts for 28% of U.S. municipal trash, according to the EPA. The boxes’ lightweight construction is said to minimize dimensional weight fees, saving up to 20% on shipping costs for e-commerce brands.
At the start of 2025, Antalis Packaging revealed it had tested and re-engineered a customer’s shipping cartons to achieve a 33% reduction in packaging materials, also resulting in a CO2 emissions reduction of 21 tonnes per year. The new cartons apparently reduced the number of pallet movements required by increasing the number of cartons per pallet from 140 to 180.
In similar news, DPD Germany partnered with hey circle in February to utilize its reusable shipping boxes and bags, said to reduce waste and last for 50 cycles. Businesses can rent or purchase the bags and boxes and the goods are then packed, a return label is included, and the packaging is sealed with a zipper and security seal.
