FAQ

What is the most sustainable packaging for food and beverages?

Depending on whether your product is a powder, liquid, sauce, or tablet, if it’s food or beverage or supplement…or anything in between…Pont can advise you on the best packaging. For example, amber glass gives excellent UV protection for premium lotions and artisan beers, and rPET is light, flexible and unbreakable. We make a range of sustainable packaging solutions so we can discuss your needs and make suggestions to suit you and your budget.

How can packaging protect the shelf life of my products?

Choosing packaging that protects your product depends on the product and where you’re selling it – for chutneys and jams going to farm shops, glass jars give the look, feel and protection you need. But for sports supplements, PET containers are probably what you need. Talk to Pont about what shelf life you and customers’ want so your packaging can make it happen.

How can I make sure my packaging meets the latest recycling requirements in different countries? 

Global brands need to understand varying legislation on recycled content and how to comply with different regulations across markets like the EU and US. 

Is sustainable packaging more expensive? 

Cost comparisons are key for brands trying to balance eco-consciousness with profitability, especially for smaller, artisan producers.

How can packaging communicate my brand's sustainability values?

Brands seek ways to highlight their sustainability practices, such as using recycled or responsibly sourced materials, on their packaging to appeal to eco-conscious consumers.

Should we be using tethered closures on our packaging?

In sectors like sports vitamins or personal care, safety is critical. Brands are often looking for packaging that is not only sustainable but also meets safety standards.

How do I choose between different packaging materials?

Artisan brands often weigh the pros and cons of different sustainable materials, considering factors like environmental impact, customer experience, and practicality.

What packaging certifications should my brand look for to prove sustainability?

Many brands seek certifications like FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), BPA-free, or certifications for compostability to validate their sustainable claims.

Can sustainable packaging be customised to match my brand identity?

Personalization is important for artisan brands. They want to know if eco-friendly packaging can still offer customization options, like branded designs, without sacrificing sustainability.
