A project in Thailand that utilizes sustainable parcel boxes, benefiting society and the environment.
29.10.2024Parcel boxes and paper packaging play an important and interesting role from various perspectives, both in terms of usability and environmental impact. Starting with corrugated cardboard boxes, which are lightweight and durable, they are widely used for product packaging to prevent damage, and they are easily recyclable, helping reduce waste and carbon footprints, making them an environmentally friendly option. These boxes can also be customized in design and color to enhance product marketing, providing both functional value and contributing to environmental preservation.
