SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
At Selfpackaging we are committed to the environment, and we try to be constantly improving day by day with the focus on the world around us. So we carefully select the raw material that we use to manufacture our boxes, in addition to trying to make the most of the paper, reducing waste to the minimum. We strongly believe in the circular economy, and we work with this premise.

THE PROCESS OF OUR PAPERS
RECYCLING
Paper recycling is the process of recovering paper already created or used to transform it into new paper products. There are various categories of paper that can be used as a raw material for recycled paper, but these two ones interest us:
COMPOSTABLE
Papers are created with 100% natural substances that become compost through human action, they decompose much more easily than substances biodegradable. These ecological papers with FSC seal are manufactured replacing up to 15% of the virgin tree pulp needed per organic waste (mix of fruits and nuts). It also contains 40% recycled waste post-consumer and is GMO-free.
CHLORINE-FREE
TCF, TOTALLY CHLORINE-FREE
It means that the total of fibers that make up the paper are bleached with free compounds chlorine. These acronyms cannot be used in recycled paper because the processing that was applied to the original fibers is not known.

ECF, ELEMENTAL CHLORINE-FREE
Both new fibers and those from the recycled have been bleached with chlorine dioxide or other chlorine compounds. Although they are less harmful materials, they still produce polluting residues.

OUR PRINTING PROCESS
WATER INKS
When you buy a personalized box on our website, you should know that we use latex technology. Thanks to these ecological water-based inks we achieve excellent print quality, generating zero waste and toxic odors. This is due to its inks made with pigments on a water base and without chemical components.
THE LATEX TECHNOLOGY USES POLYMERIZATION BY AQUEOUS DISPERSION
APPLICATION PHASE
The liquid ink vehicle carries pigment particles and latex polymer to the surface of the print medium.DRYING PHASE
Radiant heat and air flow forced evaporate most from the water, leaving a layer continuous polymer.CURING PHASE
The latex particles form a durable layer to protect the coloring, resulting in dry, ready-to-use prints.
