Sustainability isn't a checkbox anymore. It's reshaping how companies design products, pick suppliers, and manage their budgets. Packaging is where this shift hits hardest. With waste rules getting tighter and customers paying closer attention, the old single-use model is on its way out.

Let's look at the differences to ensure that you're using the optimal packaging solution for your products and marketing needs.

At CMYK Print & Promotions, we recognize that sustainability is no longer a passing trend but a lasting expectation.
