FAQ

Q: Is this box truly 100% recyclable and compostable? A: Yes. All components — greyboard (100% recycled fiber), kraft paper wrap, soy-based ink, and water-based PVA adhesive — are certified home-compostable per EN 13432 and recyclable per EN 13430. Zero plastic lamination, zero synthetic coatings, zero PVC.

Q: What is the difference between natural kraft and white kraft? A: Natural brown kraft is unbleached with a rustic, organic appearance. White kraft is bleached for a cleaner, brighter look suitable for minimalist branding. Both are available with 30–100% post-consumer recycled content.

Q: Can I use hot foil stamping on kraft paper? A: While foil stamping is possible, we recommend blind debossing, embossing, or laser engraving to maintain the eco-friendly integrity of the box. Water-based matte coating is our preferred compostable finish option.

Q: What closures are available that don’t use plastic? A: Jute string tie, cotton ribbon, kraft paper belly band, cardboard latch, and kraft-covered magnetic closures. All closure options maintain the 100% plastic-free commitment.

Q: How does the durability compare to traditional rigid boxes? A: Rigid greyboard construction (1200–1800gsm) provides equivalent crush resistance. ISTA 1A drop testing confirms protection comparable to traditional non-eco boxes. The water-based adhesive bond strength exceeds industry standards.

Q: What certifications do you hold for eco packaging? A: FSC Chain-of-Custody, ISO 9001:2015, EN 13432 compostability certification, American Soybean Association soy ink seal, EN 71-3 toy safety, and FDA 21 CFR 175.105 for indirect food contact.
