Save that wrapping paper for Christmas – and save the world too | Christmas
I’m a bit of a Scrooge at Christmastime, often choosing to give experiences over things, eschewing plastic toys whenever possible, and usually making a vegetarian meal instead of the classic roast turkey. But even I can’t deny the allure of a beautifully wrapped gift.
It’s still possible to make eco-friendly choices while also giving gorgeously wrapped presents; the holiday season truly doesn’t have to mean expensive paper and tons of waste. Each year, the US spends over $3.2bn on wrapping paper and each year Britons throw out enough gift wrap to circle the globe nine times.
Here are some ways to say bah humbug to these costly, wasteful ways and embrace a green Christmas in 2016.
‘Brown paper packages tied up with string’This famous line from The Sound of Music sums up the happy charm of a simply wrapped gift, one that remains even in today’s over-the-top culture. It’s easy to create a waste-free version of this wrapping style by reusing paper grocery bags (turned inside out and cut to fit) or by reusing paper packaging.
Depending what look I’m going for, I’ll either let my daughter decorate the paper with her drawings, or tuck a sprig of fresh greenery into the bow. Simple, pretty and waste-free.
Black and white and red all overAs a lifelong book lover, I’ve always been partial to the look of gifts wrapped in newspaper. The crisp black text on a white background lends a modern, abstract look and a thick red fabric ribbon keeps it looking luxe (I buy fabric ribbons instead of the plastic kind and also save them from gifts I receive). This is a fantastic way to use up newspapers headed to the recycling bin and kids love getting their presents wrapped in the comics section.
FuroshikiThe Japanese practice of wrapping gifts in reusable cloth dates back to the 1600s, but it has enjoyed a bit of a comeback recently as a beautiful, waste-free wrapping choice.
Whether you’re a quilter with extra fabric scraps lying around or you want to include a scarf or tea towel as part of your gift, wrapping presents in fabric is a striking departure from thin, crinkly wrapping paper. Secondhand stores are a fantastic source for beautiful silk scarves and if you’re really handy you can even sew reusable fabric gift bags.
Functional artMy daughter is a prolific artist (thankfully she hasn’t yet explored the blank canvas of my walls) so I began saving the art roll from her easel. When it’s time to wrap gifts for Christmas or her friend’s birthday parties, I use the painted paper instead of gift wrap. It’s a nice way to reuse something I’d feel guilty throwing out and our family loves seeing their gifts decorated with her wild paintings.
Now that we’ve got gift-giving sorted, what do you do with the wrapping paper on gifts received from others?
Well, despite my affection for the rip-and-tear folks among us (who can begrudge such unbridled enthusiasm?) I have absolutely no shame in being that person who carefully peels off tape and neatly folds gift wrap for later use.
Doing so reduces waste and allows an opportunity for reuse, but another reason to save that pretty paper is because a good portion of wrapping products aren’t recyclable.
That’s right, although it’s called wrapping paper, many kinds of gift wrap are actually made with shiny foil or coated in plastic film, rendering it unfit for the recycling bin. Same goes for plastic ribbons and bows (they’re inexpensive and pretty but can’t be recycled) and tissue paper (which is best reused or tossed in a compost bin if you’ve got one).
The best way to ensure you’re disposing of wrapping products properly is by checking with your local recycling department. A quick Google search of “[Your city/town] recycling guidelines” will let you know what your local recycling service prefers you to with these festive trappings.
Of course, the most effective way to reduce wrapping paper waste is to reduce gifts altogether. Consider organizing a secret santa exchange, getting just one or two gifts per child, and giving experiences instead of things. A certain Mr Grinch said it best:
It came without ribbons.
It came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled ‘till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store.
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more…

5 Reasons Why It’s Time To Bin Christmas Wrapping…
We all want to give beautifully wrapped presents but it’s time to rethink using the rolls of wrapping paper that we’ve all dependent on for years.
5 Reasons Why It’s Time To Bin Wrapping Paper This Christmas
1. Keep rollin’
The UK gets through 100 million rolls of wrapping paper each Christmas – approximately 227,000 miles of the pretty paper stuff. That’s enough to wrap the equator nine times.
2. It’s not like other paper
As you’re slumped on the sofa half covered in discarded wrapping paper, while the cat settles down under it for a snooze, it’s tempting to think that it can all be bundled up and shoved in the recycling bin. Sadly, that’s not the case.
The Sellotape, plastic ribbons and metallic or glitter on the paper generally make it impossible to recycle so the only option is landfill or incineration.

3. Think of the trees
While we might all print less at work and send less letters, Christmas time sees us all go a little crazy on the paper front.
It’s estimated by DEFRA that around 50,000 trees are cut down each year to make enough paper to wrap our presents.
The UK’s Committee on Climate Change released a report in 2018 that said we need to commit to planting twice as many trees by 2020 to help capture carbon and slow down the impact of climate change.
9 Ways You Can Plant More Trees This Year
4. Think of the emissions
Most of the UK’s paper comes from Scandinavia so each roll of wrapping paper has an air mile footprint, while Greenpace found that the production process emits 3.5kg of CO2 to make one kilogram of wrapping paper.
5. Stop the sticky tape
Wrapping paper needs Sellotape / sticky tape to hold it together which isn’t recyclable. If you’re trying to do a plastic free Christmas then don’t fall down at the last hurdle over the sticky stuff.
Small bits of plastic like sticky tape often end up in the sea, breaking down into microplastics and infecting our food chains, waterways and marine wildlife.
Why does this matter again? There are eight million tonnes of plastic in our oceans.

World Sack Kraft and Wrapping Paper Study
World Sack Kraft and Wrapping Paper Study
A detailed analysis and forecast of global sack kraft and wrapping paper markets until 2018 by major grade.
Included in the study:
- Demand forecast for all major producing and consuming countries
- Breakdown of top global producers for bleached/unbleached sack and wrapping
- Regional capacity and production overview including a list of major projects
- Critical information on emerging trends in global wrapping and sack consumption
- Details on the global trade balance and major exporting countries
- Historical data from 2002-2012, preliminary estimates for 2013, and 5-year forecast through 2018
Global demand for sack kraft and wrapping papers increased 1.5% during 2012 to reach an estimated 15 million tonnes. During the last decade demand for wrapping paper declined or stagnated in the majority of developed countries. In North America sack kraft and wrapping consumption declined at a 3.4% average annual rate from 2003-2012. Demand in Western Europe held up relatively well increasing approximately 1.3% annually from 2003-2007, before declining at a 1.7% average annual rate through 2012. Emerging markets Asia, Middle East and Africa sustained 4.4% average annual growth in wrapping demand over the past decade. Wrapping consumption in these developing economies will continue to increase as disposable incomes grow.
World Sack Kraft and Wrapping Paper Study explores how sack kraft and wrapping paper capacity expansions in emerging countries will impact international trade dynamics in the global market. This is the first available global data for major sack and wrapping grades including; unbleached sack, unbleached wrapping, bleached sack and bleached wrapping.
Despite stagnant consumption patterns in western Europe and the US, developing countries will continue to support growth in global wrapping demand
Special focus on Chinese markets
Chinese demand for wrapping papers increased at a 7.6% average annual rate, over the last decade. During that same time, Chinese producers added about 250,000 tonnes of new kraft and wrapping capacity annually. Capacity expansions were carefully planned and China reduced imports of kraft and wrapping papers from approximately 500,000 tonnes in 2002 to just 250,000 tons in 2012. This study shows how capacity expansions in emerging countries will impact international trade dynamics and future trends in global consumption.
Chinese wrapping demand reached an estimated 4.7 million tonnes, 30% of global consumption in 2012

Something we want you to know, though…
We’re not a wrapping paper company (we’re actually a travel company). EEK! GASP! We know, we know… crazy, right? Why are we even making gift wrap anyway? Well, there’s a pretty interesting story behind that:
A few years ago, the founder of Journo Travel Goods, Dane Homenick, was cruising The Bahamas with his wife Makaela on their sailboat ‘Sea Otter.’ And since things can change pretty fast out at sea (you know, a new shipwreck, shifting sand, etc.), you shouldn’t use old oceanic marine charts.
So instead of tossing out these lovely old charts from all over the Caribbean Islands, they thought they’d use them as wrapping paper…
Turns out their friends talked about the wrapping paper more than the present inside! (So either they’re bad at buying gifts or the wrapping paper design was just that awesome hehe)
Naturally, we thought we’d make some for the Journo community… and, we’re pleased to say, things took off. 🙂
What you have in front of you is the Straits of Florida Nautical Chart Edition…
It’s now become our signature, classic style that so many have picked up and loved.
What other wrapping paper has a back story like that? 🙂
On top of that, we have an iron-clad, no-questions-asked guarantee: If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, simply contact us for a full refund.
🔸——— READY TO SHIP ——— 🔸
Prepped in the studio and ready to ship! Standard delivery times:
– DOMESTIC (U.S.): 3 – 5 business days
– INTERNATIONAL: 7 – 14 business days
–> Grab yourself this stunning, rare ocean image wrapping paper and make your gift stand out among all the rest.

477288 I find that the best use of wrapping paper is to wrap up the letters that various NPCs send you after you complete their quests, then give them to other players as gifts. Many recipients will accuse you of being various things that are lacking in intellectual ability, but I think that they’re secretly grateful.

This was fixed, you can now successfully wrap caged battle pets up into a present. However, if you try to link a wrapped battle pet in chat, it’ll link the pet instead of the wrapped present, unlike other wrapped items.

You can however wrap battle pets, limited duration items such as Keg of Old Dalaran Red and holiday items such as Wondrous Charm Bracelet though.Sometimes this makes the item easier to store or mail, and the gift will still be removed as if it were the item, should its duration expire.
The other type of wrapping paper you can buy from most general goods vendors is Blue Ribbon Wrapping Paper, whereas Blue Ribbon Wrapping Paper, Purple Ribbon Wrapping Paper and Green Ribbon Wrapping Paper are only able to be purchased during The Feast of Winter Veil from Smokeywood Pastures goblin vendors in all major cities.

Wrapping paper will save the world – Fruit and Vegetable Portal
Wrapping paper brand E can be easily recognized by its beige shade and small dark splashes. Such packaging differs from other types of paper and to the touch – it is embossed with a slight roughness.Products packaged in environmentally friendly bags or sacks retain their positive qualities longer!
The density of such paper is very high – 80 g / m2, which is why it is used as a strong and reliable packaging for the transportation and storage of various goods and products.Despite the fact that modern industry produces a large number of packaging materials, the popularity of wrapping paper has not diminished over the years. Food manufacturers especially love it and choose it for their products as an environmentally friendly and reliable material.
Cereals, sugar, flour and animal feed – all this is packaged and wrapped in E-grade wrapping paper in the form of bags and sacks. It is this type of wrapping paper that is defined according to GOST for food packaging.In this form, the goods can be stored in warehouses for a long time or transported by any type of transport to the destination.
To create such paper, coniferous wood or waste paper is used; in the process of hydrolysis, cellulose decomposes into fibers, which are treated with a solution of hydroxide with sodium sulfide.
Non-toxic wrapping paper is a very economical packaging with many benefits. It is not only cheap, but also allows the product to breathe, which means it prolongs its freshness.It does not interact with food dyes, but it is also convenient to apply a company logo, advertisements and contact information to it. In this case, such packaging is an advertising object that is considered and studied by hundreds and even thousands of buyers.
Brown E-grade wrapping paper does not bleach with chlorine, which means it is completely safe for human health. Even if it enters nature, it will become only a decay product, leaving no chemically harmful substances behind.
If you have white wrapping paper in front of you, then it was specially bleached and only dry food can be wrapped in it.
The late 1980s saw a real boom in plastic bags. They were bought up in whole lots, protected and preferred to pack everything only in such products. At that time, most of the enterprises that made packaging from wrapping paper closed down and now there is no way to restore them. It’s a pity, because paper packaging is back in fashion, and not only because people prefer the “Retro” style, but most people understand that products packaged in environmentally friendly bags or sacks retain their positive qualities longer.
Thinking about our health and the state of our loved ones, we pay attention to the state of our planet. Well, in this paper, as a means of packaging, will be our most important assistant. 90,000 How the invention of paper changed the world

Printing press made in 1440s by a jeweler from the German city of Mainz by Johannes Gutenberg, is considered one of the most important inventions of mankind.
Gutenberg figured out how to make durable metal characters in large quantities and how to fix them firmly enough to print hundreds of copies of a page, but still be able to reuse the same characters to print another page.
His famous Latin Bibles, typed in crisp black script – excellently divided into two dense columns and in some places highlighted in red ink – were so beautiful that they competed with the calligraphy of the monks.

Who Was First?
Gutenberg’s primacy in printing can be challenged as the first movable type printing press was developed in China. At the same time that Gutenberg was inventing the printing press in Germany, Koreans were already abolishing their traditional writing method in order to facilitate printing. They have reduced tens of thousands of characters to just 28.
It is also not true that it was Gutenberg who was the first to kickstart mass literacy.This happened 600 or 700 years earlier in the Abbasid Caliphate that spanned the Middle East and North Africa.
Nevertheless, the Gutenberg press really changed the world. His invention led to the European Reformation, the development of science, the emergence of newspapers, the novel as a literary genre, school textbooks and much more.
But Gutenberg would not have been able to create his machine without another invention, which is equally necessary in the printing business – paper.
Paper was invented in China 2000 years ago.
It was originally used to pack precious items, but soon people began to write on it because it was lighter than bamboo and cheaper than silk.
The Arab world soon adopted this method, but the paper got to Germany just a few decades before the Gutenberg press.
But why? For centuries, Europeans did not need paper: they had parchment made from animal skins.
Parchment was expensive: it took 250 sheep skins to make one parchment Bible.But since few people knew how to read and write, it hardly mattered.
With the emergence of a large class of merchants who needed contracts and invoices, cheap writing material became more in demand.
Cheap paper made typography more attractive, as the expense of a typeset was easily rewarded with long-term use without slaughtering millions of sheep.

But paper is used not only in printing.We glue the walls with it in the form of wallpapers, posters and photographs; we filter coffee and tea through it; we pack milk and juices in it and use it as corrugated cardboard to make boxes.
We use wrapping paper, greaseproof baking paper, sandpaper, napkins, receipts and tickets.
In 1870 – the same decade that the telephone and the light bulb were invented – a British perforated paper company produced a paper that was soft yet strong and absorbent.This is how the world’s first toilet paper was born.
The massively produced paper is, in fact, a truly industrial product, so when Christian Europe finally realized its need, the continent’s first heavy industry emerged.
Endless Improvements
Paper was originally made from refined cotton, but it needed some kind of chemical to break it down. Ammonia from urea did this well, so for hundreds of years European paper mills have been operating on human waste.
The grinding of the pulp also required an enormous amount of mechanical force. One of the first paper mills in Europe – Fabriano in Italy – used fast mountain streams to drive powerful hammers.
After thorough grinding, the cellulose obtained from cotton is separated, representing a dense fibrous “filler”. It is thinned, dried, and a durable, bendable “rug” is obtained.
Over the centuries, this process has undergone many improvements: for example, threshers, bleaches and additives have helped to produce paper faster and more cheaply, however, as a result, quality often suffered – the paper became less durable.

By 1702, paper had become so cheap that it was used to make a product specifically designed to be thrown away after 24 hours – the world’s first daily newspaper, the Daily Courant.
And then an inevitable crisis occurred: Europe and America began to need paper so badly that they began to lack raw materials.
The situation became so dire that people appeared who were ready to comb the battlefield and undress the fallen in order to then sell the bloody uniforms to paper mills.
And suddenly an alternative to cellulose was found – wood.
The Chinese have long known how to get paper from wood, but the Europeans have just figured it out.
In 1719, the French biologist Rene Antoine Reaumur published a scientific work, indicating that bees can create paper nests by chewing on a tree, so why not people too?
When his idea was noticed years later, papermakers quickly realized that wood is not such a simple material and contains much less cellulose than raw cotton.
It was not until the middle of the 19th century that wood in the West became an important source of paper production.

The circulation of paper in the world
Today, paper is usually made from itself, that is often from waste paper recycled in China.
A paper mill in Ningbo city, 200 km south of Shanghai, produced a box into which a laptop is then packed.
This box is shipped across the Pacific Ocean, and somewhere in Seattle or Vancouver, the laptop is taken out of the box, thrown into recycling, and then sent back to Ningbo – where it will be crushed to pulp, and then again made into a new box.
With regard to writing, some argue that the days of paper are numbered, believing the computer will reign in the “paperless office”. But similar predictions have been made since the time of Thomas Edison, who in the late 19th century believed that all memos would be written on his wax rollers (which were used by Edison’s phonograph).
This idea reappeared in the 1970s, when the first computers began to appear in offices, and began to be repeated in the following decades in the reports of futurologists.
Meanwhile, paper stubbornly continued to be in demand. Yes, computers made it easier to distribute paperless documents, but printers also made it possible for the recipient of the document to go and print it.

Copiers, faxes and printers continued to spit out a huge amount of sheets of paper, and gradually the “paperless office” ceased to be a prediction and became something of a joke.
But, perhaps, something has finally begun to change: since 2013, paper production has begun to decline.
Many of us still prefer to hold a real book or newspaper in our hands, rather than flip through the pages of the Internet, but the cost of digital distribution of a printed product has now become so cheap that we involuntarily began to choose a cheaper option.
Finally, digital technologies began to do with paper what paper once did with parchment using Gutenberg’s typographic method – they win in the competition, but not at the expense of quality, but at the expense of cheapness.
So that paper will survive, and not only on supermarket shelves or in toilets, but also in the office.
The old method is sometimes the most durable. We still use pencils and burn candles, and the world still produces more bicycles than cars.
After all, paper has always been used not only for book printing, but also for everyday needs. Where else can you quickly jot something down, jot down a shopping list, or draw a devil if not on the back of an envelope?

Packaging evolution – the history of packaging paper and corrugated board
It would seem that wrapping paper can conceal interesting things? Meanwhile, many interesting and funny stories are associated with it, which vividly illustrate the path that packaging paper has traveled: from a means of protecting goods from dust and dirt to a powerful marketing tool.
When paper became packaging
The production of the first types of paper involved significant costs, and the paper was so expensive that only wealthy people could afford to buy books. However, when the production of paper was put on a mass basis, paper, in addition to the function of an information carrier, began to play the role of a packaging material. Today, more than 40% of all packaging materials are based on paper. There are many types of wrapping paper, from rough gray and brown to bright gift wrapping.A drawing is often applied to the surface of gift paper, corresponding to the theme of a particular holiday. Gift paper is offered by special departments in stores, where the gift will also be beautifully wrapped for you.
Special wax paper and parchment paper have long been used for food packaging.
They are produced for the same purpose to this day.
What should be wrapping paper
Modern types of wrapping paper usually have one glossy surface.The paper is quite dense, opaque, not only a drawing, but also varnish and embossing can be applied to it. The wrapping paper is resistant to bending. A special requirement is the chemical neutrality of the wrapping paper, as food is often wrapped in it.
When did the paper bag appear?
Since paper began to be used as a packaging material, food and goods have simply been wrapped in it in one way or another. Some particularly adventurous shopkeepers hand-glued the paper into bags.However, already in the middle of the nineteenth century, the first machine appeared in the United States, on which paper bags were produced. This was due to the fact that after the Civil War in the United States, the amount of cotton produced, which was the main material for the production of sacks, fell sharply. This forced Americans to seek new opportunities. And the result was the creation of a paper bag.
Soon, the United States not only fully provided itself with paper bags, but also offered the rest of the world the equipment for their production.A real breakthrough in the production of paper bags was the technology patented in 1870, which made it possible to produce bags with a flat bottom. For many years, these bags have sold bulk goods all over the world: flour, cereals, dry food, bulk building materials, etc. And after the handles were attached to the paper bag, it also began to act as a bag.
Paper bags experienced a true heyday at the time when the first large supermarkets began to appear, and for a long time they had no equal in this area.Today, paper bags in supermarkets have almost completely given way to plastic ones, having remained mainly only in expensive stores – after all, paper bags look much more elegant than plastic ones.
Paper bags with handles
A paper bag is much more convenient to use if it is equipped with handles. Such bags are made mainly from craft – brown or bleached. However, for carrying out promotions, you can also order packages of coated paper, dyed or laminated.Such paper does not tear at the folds, and the bag retains its attractive appearance for a long time. The bags can be printed in color either by silk-screen printing or by offset printing.
From paper packaging to cardboard packaging
A gift today can be packed not only in paper. It is much more interesting if the package is packed in a cardboard box, which is so interesting to open. Cardboard boxes have been made from hand-made cardboard for quite some time. Such a box was no less appreciated than the gift enclosed in it.However, industrial methods of paperboard production soon emerged. Today it can be obtained by the method of casting (the so-called “natural” cardboard), by pressing wet paper and by gluing paper layers.
One of the most common types of cardboard, according to Pimas specialists, is pressed cardboard. At first, the cardboard boxes were only round. They were made according to the same method as tin boxes. The master wrapped cardboard around a cylindrical blank, fastened its ends and glued the bottom.Such boxes were used to sell hats, in jewelry stores and pharmacies, as well as in pastry shops.
Gradually round boxes gave way to square and rectangular boxes, and today even round objects and products, for example, cakes, are often packed in such boxes. Although round boxes are still found – they sell expensive sweets, and the same cakes can, if desired, be found in round boxes. Sometimes perfumery products are also packed in round cardboard boxes.
Why did the cardboard box become square
Round boxes were made in a handicraft way and did not become widespread as containers for serial packaging of large quantities of goods. Such boxes are not very convenient to transport and store: they take up too much space. Eventually the boxes became square. This happened after a blank was invented from which the box could be folded by folding. The first such boxes began to be produced all in the same America, and this happened in the 50s of the nineteenth century.In such a box, Bird & Company sold nails, and the box was folded in the presence of the customer before releasing the goods to him. This greatly slowed down the trade process and irritated impatient Americans.
It wasn’t until the end of the century that cardboard boxes appeared that were quick to make. The author of the development was Robert Geir, a typographer from (guess where?) America, and specifically – New York. His main field of activity was printing on paper bags.He came up with the design of a machine for cutting cardboard, and also noticed that along the straight lines drawn on the cardboard with the help of a metal ruler, it bends perfectly. Then an inventive typographer created special stamps, the sharp edges of which cut the cardboard, and the blunt ones marked the fold lines. With the help of his machine, he got the hang of producing over 7,000 carton blanks per hour. After a few scissors movements and bending, the workpiece was transformed into a convenient box. Sellers of various goods became keenly interested in the products.And then an amazing fact came to light: buyers were much more willing to purchase goods prepackaged at the factory in boxes with inscriptions and drawings than the same goods, but in bulk. Naturally, this fact immediately attracted the attention of major food manufacturers.
From packaging to advertising media
Packaging can easily become an advertising medium. To do this, the appropriate graphic and text information must be applied to its surface. Cardboard is best suited for printing, one surface of which is coated.The dense white coating on the board is made of bleached cellulose, and this layer hides the unsightly “middle” of the board underneath. However, not all products can have a bottom gray or brown layer of packaging. Therefore, most packaging materials are now available with two coated surfaces. In extreme cases, one of them is not coated, but simply bleached. Packaging cartons are made of several layers glued to each other. Cast cardboard is rarely used as a packaging material due to its high price.
For offset printing, cardboard can be used, the density of which does not exceed 300 g / m2. In the production of some types of cardboard packaging, intaglio printing is used – for example, in the production of packaging for cigarettes. If the package belongs to the “luxury” class, in its production, not only printing and basic methods of processing cardboard (cutting, folding, gluing) are used, but also varnishing, embossing, including foil stamping and relief stamping. The production of packaging paper is carried out on sophisticated and high-tech equipment that forms a single line.The best technique used in the manufacture of high-quality cardboard packaging is offered by Bobst (Switzerland).
Multi-ply cardboard – anti-drip
Cardboard has relatively recently begun to be used not only for packaging solid and bulk products, but also for packaging liquids – water, juice, dairy products and even alcoholic beverages. Initially, the very idea of packaging liquids in cardboard packages caused a natural mistrust, which was overcome by Tetra Pak, which now produces about a third of all such packaging products in the world.For the first time, packages for packaging milk, in which it not only did not leak, but also did not deteriorate for a long time, were developed in the late 50s, and their industrial production began in 1961.
The production of packaging materials using Tetra Pak technology is fully automated. In our country, similar equipment appeared in 1972. The first domestic carton packages were tetrahedral and intended for milk packaging. This packaging material was based on thick paper.It was covered with polyethylene and printed in one or two colors using flexo printing. On the reverse side, the packaging material was waxed. This packaging material was delivered to dairies in the form of rolls, and directly at the plant, it was cut into individual blanks, which were then welded. However, this technology was not very efficient: about 10% of milk bags made in this way simply leaked. The leakage problem could not be solved for 10 years, and the domestic milk bags stopped flowing only when the Elopack filling equipment and new high bags called “Purpak” appeared in the country.Domestic packaging materials, which had aseptic properties, began to be produced in Moscow in 1985. They delighted customers with the quality of the print, which was still applied by flexography, but already transmitted 6 colors and was distinguished by high definition.
Today, cardboard is no longer waxed, but covered with polyethylene or foil. Among the domestic producers of cardboard-base can be called the Syktyvkar Combine, and foil – the company “Sayanskaya Foil”. By the way, about the foil.The specialists of the Pimas company note that for the first time they began to wrap food in it in France. It was over 150 years ago, and the first products to receive this honor were sweets. The combination of foil and paper for packaging sweets was first used in the middle of the 19th century by the Cadbury company. Today, candies are wrapped in BOPP composite materials, which have a metallic luster and hold their shape well when wrapped.
Corrugated cardboard
A big step in the development of cardboard packaging materials was made when corrugated board appeared.It can be used to make boxes of the largest sizes, in which it is convenient to transport even such large items as household appliances and furniture. And corrugated cardboard appeared as a modest material that was used in the manufacture of men’s hats as a padding. The cardboard that we all know today, which is a corrugated interlayer between two layers of smooth cardboard, appeared in 1874.
In our country, along with three-layer, five-layer cardboard is also popular.Printing on cardboard is most often done using flexography. If you need a higher print quality, a layer of paper is applied to the cardboard, which is printed in an offset method. But in Europe, double-layer cardboard has become widespread. It can be used for full-color printing – the cardboard is laminated with a paper layer with an already applied print. In our country, this method is not used for the reason that two-layer cardboard is transported in rolls and wrinkled along the way. In Europe, lamination is combined with the production of cardboard.
Russia is a large exporter of the so-called containerboard, which serves as a raw material for the manufacture of corrugated board. It is unprofitable to export ready-made cardboard, as it is inconvenient in transportation – it takes up a lot of space. The finished corrugated cardboard is exported only to the Baltic States, where it is used in the fishing industry.
Along with the fishing industry, corrugated cardboard is actively consumed by other branches of food production: confectionery, canneries, factories for the production of alcoholic beverages, etc.Corrugated packaging is also in demand in the chemical industry for packaging household chemicals.
The overwhelming majority of packaging materials in Russia (about 90%) are packaging made of brown corrugated cardboard, on which one-color printing is applied. The share of materials where printing is performed with 4 colors is gradually growing. The predominant method of printing is flexo printing, since it is cheaper than offset printing. When applying offset printing, lamination is used, the direct method of applying offset printing is very rarely used.
Use of corrugated cardboard containers
Corrugated cardboard products are becoming more and more complex. Their design and configuration are changing. For convenience, windows and holes are made in the boxes – such boxes are easier to carry. Various trays and pallets appear, which are used not only for transportation, but also for displaying goods. Even exhibition stands are made of corrugated cardboard. And from two-layer cardboard are made small stationery: notebooks, folders, postcards.
For environmental reasons, many companies are moving away from laminated cardboard, which is difficult to recycle. Natural, environmentally friendly cardboard is in vogue with environmentalists. Today, corrugated cardboard is used even where more expensive and attractive types of cardboard were traditionally used – for example, when packaging perfumes and dishes.
Carton & Marketing
Few people know that the triumphal procession around the world of oatmeal began precisely with the use of cardboard boxes for its packaging.Until that time, oatmeal was considered a food product intended exclusively for horses.
The owner of the now world famous and then small company “Quaker oats” GT Crowell began to pack oatmeal in colored cardboard boxes. And in order for customers to know what, in fact, to do with it, recipes for its preparation were printed on the box. The product has become, as it is now fashionable to say, positioned as a dietary food product, as well as a food product for children and even a delicacy.So for the first time in the history of marketing, the demand for a product that, in general, was nothing special, was artificially created thanks to packaging. However, the packaging did not work alone for advertising the oatmeal: over time, the enterprising owner of the company began to travel around the country on a freight train filled with samples of products that were distributed to the public for free.
Crowell went even further. It was he who came up with the idea of giving gifts to consumers of his product. And the proof of purchase should have been images cut from the packaging.This move was very much to the liking of the Americans, who were greedy for “freebies”, and very soon the mail was literally inundated with letters with pieces of cardboard enclosed in them.
Another company that also made the packaging “work” to promote the product – Uneetla – announced that cookies are better stored in a cardboard box. Interestingly, the advertising campaign did not say a word about the taste of the cookies (perhaps there was simply nothing to talk about). These cookies have gone down in history thanks to their packaging, not their taste.
As the specialists of the Pimas company note, a similar approach to the promotion of products is still used in those cases when there is nothing to say about the merits of the product itself due to the absence of such.The well-known small crackers appeared because the producers of unsold bread did not want to throw it away. How to get the buyer to buy stale bread? Cut it beautifully, dry it a little and hide it in a shiny colorful package. It would also be nice to add something about the benefits of this product – well, for example, that it helps to cope with depression (?). This is exactly how the promotion of crackers took place when they first entered the market.
The study of the influence of packaging on the sales of a product was devoted to whole psychological and marketing research, during which experts came to the conclusion that the presence of colorful packaging automatically increases the prestige of the product in the eyes of consumers.
Packaging as a means of manipulating demand
Much has been said about the tricks that large supermarkets use to stimulate sales. The consumer does not always realize that he is simply being manipulated, and quite successfully. We all have seen huge packages of goods that are on the floor of supermarkets, although exactly the same product is displayed in the appropriate place on the shelves of the sales area. The buyer, seeing these group packages, thinks that the goods have just been brought from the warehouse and simply did not have time to be laid out on the shelves, which means that they are the freshest.In fact, this is most often done with goods that are stuck in the warehouse. And the buyer, as they say, is “glad to be deceived” – sales of goods increase by 170%! So the role of the impact of various types of packaging on the consciousness of the mass consumer is exceptionally great, and manufacturers always take advantage of this.

90,000 Five Reasons to Save Paper: Ecology Articles ➕1, 06/04/2021Trees produce oxygen, purify air, soil and water, and create habitats for 80% of animal species. Every year 15 billion trees are cut down in the world, and their total number on the planet since the inception of human civilization has decreased by about 46%. This is partly due to the development of the pulp and paper industry. The World Wildlife Fund estimates that about 40% of the world’s raw wood is used to make office and glossy paper, paper packaging, napkins and other products.To get a ton of material (about 400 standard packs of 500 A4 sheets), 24 wood is required.
One sheet requires 2 to 13 liters of water. More than 400 million tons of paper are used annually in the world (on average 55 kg per one inhabitant of the planet). More than half of this volume goes to packaging production. It is necessary to conserve water resources, because fresh water accounts for only 3% of the world’s water resources and only 0.5% of them are available for drinking.
The process of making paper consists of several stages: softening the cellulose, mixing the fibers, compacting the material, dyeing the finished product.At each stage, substances hazardous to humans and the environment are used: dioxins, lignin, carbon monoxide, ammonia, mercury, nitrates, methanol, benzene. For example, dioxins, when ingested, can lead to hormonal disorders, reproductive dysfunction, or neurological disorders.
The pulp and paper industry is the fourth largest source of greenhouse gas emissions among all manufacturing industries. The industry accounts for over 12% of all energy used in production.The production, delivery and disposal of the newspaper produces about 200 g of CO 2 . One National Geographic magazine emits 800 g of CO 2 during its life cycle, and a paper towel emits about 27 g CO 2 .
The average office worker uses 10,000 sheets of paper every year. 45% of this amount ends up in the trash can on the first day after printing. Although recyclable, this material accounts for about 26% of all landfill waste in the world.In Russia, paper accounted for 35% of landfill waste in 2018.
