Eco Friendly Packaging
for
CD duplication and CD manufacturing
Packaging products in the
CD duplication and the CD manufacturing industry have long
been dominated by the consumption of plastic and paper, but
at www.CDwest.ca were proud to be front-and-center in
supplying eco friendly packaging alternatives for our disc
products.
Low-plastic and
no-plastic packaging choices are at the forefront of our
efforts with printable board-stock proving to be the best
all-around material for green requirements. The end result
is a completely recyclable product that is very attractive,
versatile and durable, and can be supplied in a multitude of
different configurations for your CD duplication or CD
manufacturing needs.
Leading the way is our
growing line of printed Eco Sleeves and Eco Jackets, plus
our Eco Case with its revolutionary bio-degradable disc tray
made from vegetable-based starch. The traditional retail CD
package was entirely comprised of plastic, paper and metal,
explains Mike Arnold, our General Manager, so we have worked
hard to provide choices that reduce the negative impact on
the environment. Additionally, if there's a particular
format or style you require which doesn't appear to be
available its possible to create a custom die-line to
produce your sleeve for a surprisingly low cost.

From a simple single
pocket style to multi-panels and multi-pockets our sleeves
and jackets combine packaging and print into a single
product, as opposed to traditional plastic cases which
require separate printed inserts in order for you to brand
your product. At CDwest.ca our eco friendly packaging
products are able to carry as many discs as required, but
you can use additional pockets for inclusion of additional
printed materials in the form of folders or even stapled
booklets these too are produced using the same
environmentally sound materials and processes as our board
stock items.
While replacing plastics
with eco friendly packaging products gets the bulk of the
attention in the world of CD duplication and CD
manufacturing, even the printing machinery and inks are
being taken into greater consideration. The availability of
vegetable based inks and waterless printing technology are
quickly winning favour over old materials and technology.
Were now at the point where increasing demand is making the
new greener alternatives much more cost effective. concludes
Arnold , Its definitely an exciting development.
While providing eco
friendly packaging is a good start, there's also a great
need to produce materials in a more effective and
sustainable manner. As an actual manufacturer of your discs
we have greater control over our products and processes so
we are able to offer smaller runs of products than what is
the norm in our industry. In many instances CDwest.ca is
able to provide our CD duplication and CD manufacturing
packaging products in quantities of 300 and 500 units when
most other suppliers have a minimum requirement of 1000.
This less is more approach allows you to purchase products
in the actual quantities that you require instead of being
forced to order more than you need. The end result is less
consumption of resources by the manufacturer, and less
product that you would have to dispose of should you not
have use for it. |
