Reusing and Recycling Using Documents Enclosed Envelopes
Our top tips on packaging series continues with helpful hints on using documents enclosed envelopes to improve packaging reusability.
3 reasons to reuse your packaging materials
1) As pressure on the environment and the need for the nation to economise grows, it’s now critical to conserve and reuse packaging.
2) Reusing packaging is the best form of recycling, because it doesn’t require further use of energy, either in converting or transporting the packaging prior to use. It simply extends the life of your packaging
3) Thinking ahead to how your customer receives their parcel, reducing unnecessary packaging and making it easy for the customer to reuse their box, jiffy bag, postal tube, mailing bag or other packaging, could have a positive impact on your environmental credentials
“As a specialist packaging supplies company we believe we have a duty to encourage Customers to give greater thought to the packaging they buy and make better use of the packaging materials they retain.”
How using documents enclosed wallets, extends the life of postal packaging
Also referred to as documents enclosed wallets, packing list envelopes, shipping labels, address and shipping envelopes, these clear polythene packing envelopes can not only save time but packaging too.
Documents enclosed envelopes are used extensively in mail order and busy industrial packing departments to attach delivery notes, invoices or any other document to the outside of parcels and packaging. They can be bought as plain or printed ‘Documents Enclosed’.
Envelopes come as a self adhesive, water-resistant, enclosed label pouch that ensure that documents are protected and address details remain clearly visible. Document enclosed envelopes eliminate the need for a separate address label, but can also save on packaging in other ways.
- Documents enclosed envelopes can replace hand written addresses or large printed labels on boxes, making it easier to cover address details and reuse the cardboard box. The same applies to postal tubes and other cardboard postal packaging
- Documents enclosed labels mark less of the surface area of jiffy mailing bags and so are easier to over label or remove
- If you wish to display your company logo or other important information to the customer, documents enclosed labels enable you to do this without the need for expensive custom printed packaging. By eliminating the need for printed boxes and additional labels, your customers will be able to reuse your boxes.
Bio-degradable document enclosed labels are also available, to help address land fill and litter issues. Standard plain documents enclosed envelopes can be recycled if you have facilities for polythene recycling.
