How to Use the Recyclable Packaging Logo in Your Next Design

The Paperboard Packaging Recyclable logo can be used on
SBS and recycled paperboard packaging.

Does your brand want to show that purchasing your product is a more sustainable choice?

Communicating environmental benefits to consumers through on-product labeling may be the answer.

A 2016 report by Globescan & BBMG, “Five Human Aspirations and the Future of Brands”, details a fundamental shift in the marketplace towards authenticity, well-being, sustainability, and social purpose.

It reveals the Aspirational generation who combine "a love of style, social status, and sustainability values to shape new cultural norms and rewrite the rules of marketing."

Furthermore, nearly nine in ten (88%) say "I believe we need to consume less to preserve the environment for future generations."

Other studies suggest that consumers want brand owners to provide more environmental information on their packaging (Cone Green Gap Trend Tracker, 2012), or that recycling-related messaging influences purchases (Perception Research Services, 2011).

Brand owners can leverage these trends by including the free Paperboard Packaging Recyclable logo in their next package design.

Video Clip from National Paperboard Competition Now Available

A video clip of a PPC judge commenting on Diamond Packaging's award-winning 2011 Centennial Calendar is now available at: http://www.diamondpackaging.com/multimedia/diamond-calendar-jim.wmv.

Diamond earned five awards in the 68th Annual National Paperboard Packaging Competition, including Gold and Eco Excellence Awards for its calendar. This year's centennial-themed calendar is the company's most ambitious to date, featuring twelve layouts: one for each decade that Diamond has been in business along with a futurevision layout and a 9-11 tribute. Each decade depicts memorable moments from that time period supporting Diamond's message that “We Were There”. The distinguished calendar cover protects the piece, which also serves as a capabilities book.

The calendar was decorated with the latest in package printing technologies, including specialty coatings (emboss, pearl, textured, soft touch), MiraFoil® environmentally-friendly coating, Cast and Cure holographic effects, foil stamping, and multi-level embossing.

Diamond introduced several of its new specialty coatings (DiamondEmboss, DiamondPearl, DiamondTexture, and DiamondTouch) on the cover and several of its layouts. The goal was to produce unique decorative effects through an in-line process without requiring a separate stamping or embossing pass, thereby reducing material and energy usage.
