However, as we\u2019re in the business of making all manner of things from corrugated, including the odd dinosaur, aeroplane and robot to name just a few of our more unusual creations, we thought we were in the perfect position to remind you of 10 reasons why you and your business should choose corrugated for all your packaging requirements.<br><br>1 \u2013 It\u2019s made from recycled material &#8211; An easy one to start with! It\u2019s made from at least 80% recycled material.<br><br>2 \u2013 It\u2019s recyclable &#8211; All 100% of it, which can do wonders for your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies.<br><br>3 \u2013 It\u2019s very adaptable \u2013 As we said in our intro; we\u2019ve made some great things out of corrugated in addition to eye catching boxes, display units, transit boxes, pallet boxes and supply chain solutions.<br><br>4 \u2013 It can be incredibly strong \u2013 We won\u2019t bore you with all the different board types, however there are some that are super strong making them perfect for transporting heavy machinery parts across the globe (Yes, we do work with customers to do just that!)<br><br>5 \u2013 There\u2019s lots of scope for printing \u2013 Whether it\u2019s one colour on a brown transit box, or complex HQPP or digital print, we\u2019ve got the capabilities to be able to work with you to translate your brand guidelines across all your packaging<br><br>6 \u2013 It\u2019s sustainable \u2013 All of our virgin board fibre comes from carefully managed sources and responsible providers including our sister company, Board24. Indeed all our sites are FSC Certified.<br><br>7 \u2013 It can replace non-recyclable packaging materials \u2013 An ever-increasing number of customers are working with us to discover ways to eliminate non-recyclable packaging materials from their packaging streams. Corrugated can successfully replace polystyrene, single use plastic, wood, metal and more, and whilst we\u2019d never claim it can always do every job, we certainly work hard to see if it can!<br><br>8 \u2013 It\u2019s efficient \u2013 Gone are the days of a one size fits all solution. We work with our customers to ensure efficient use of corrugated material which in turn can drive down storage cost, and improve transport efficiencies too<br><br>9 \u2013 It\u2019s tried and tested \u2013 Whilst corrugated may be new to your business, it\u2019s everyday business to us. This means that our teams have years of experience, expert knowledge, and ability at working with a massive range of business types. And, if we\u2019ve not seen it before that\u2019s perfect! We always like a corrugated challenge!<br><br>10 \u2013 It\u2019s what your customers want \u2013 Customers, whether they are consumers or large supermarkets in the retail sector, want packaging that is recyclable and sustainable. Businesses and consumers are making decision based on this now so it\u2019s important to take responsibility for your packaging streams. And it\u2019s great for creating a customer unboxing journey that can consolidate your brand in the marketplace and ahead of your competitors.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">There are many reasons why businesses choose corrugated as a packaging material.
