Sustainable e-commerce packaging

Sustainable e-commerce packaging designed for fashion and lifestyle brands.

What makes e-commerce packaging sustainable?

Sustainable e-commerce packaging replaces high-impact plastics with materials that can be recycled, composted or responsibly sourced. FSC-certified corrugated board, paper void fill, compostable mailers made from cornstarch or PLA, and water-based or vegetable inks are the most common swaps. Right-sizing each box to the product inside reduces waste and shipping cost at the same time.

Weavabel works with fashion brands to design packaging around these materials without compromising the unboxing experience or brand presentation.

Sustainable packaging

Our eco-friendly e-commerce packaging covers the full range: branded boxes, tissue, mailer bags, poly bags, garment bags, and inserts. Every item is available in FSC-certified, recycled or compostable materials, so your packaging aligns with your brand's sustainability commitments without compromising on finish.

Frequently asked questions

What are some examples of sustainable packaging for e-commerce? 

Common examples include FSC-certified corrugated boxes, compostable mailers made from cornstarch or PLA, paper void fill instead of plastic air pillows, water-activated paper tape and vegetable-based inks. Weavabel supplies all of these, designed and branded to your specifications. 

Which packaging materials are most eco-friendly for clothing brands?

For clothing, compostable poly bags, recycled tissue paper and FSC-certified mailer boxes strike the best balance between protection, presentation and environmental impact. The right choice depends on your product weight, shipping method and sustainability targets. 

What certifications should I look for in sustainable packaging?

FSC certification covers responsibly sourced paper and board. GOTS and GRS certify organic and recycled textile content. Look for compostability certification (EN 13432 in Europe, ASTM D6400 in the US) on any material labelled compostable. Weavabel holds FSC, GOTS and GRS certification. 

Can e-commerce packaging be fully compostable?

Yes. Mailers, void fill and tape can all be sourced in compostable materials. Boxes made from FSC-certified corrugated board are recyclable rather than compostable, but both routes keep packaging out of landfill. We can advise on the right combination for your product. 

What inks do you use for printing?

We predominantly use vegetable and soy-based inks rather than chemical-based inks. This may vary, so always discuss with your point of contact.

What is the minimum order for bespoke e-commerce packaging?

For boxes and bags, our minimum order is typically 500 pieces. Speak to the team for a figure against your specific packaging specification. 

How does branded packaging improve the unboxing experience?

Custom tissue, printed tape, product cards and branded box interiors carry a brand through to the point of delivery. For fashion brands, a considered unboxing experience reinforces quality and gives customers a reason to come back.
