March 6, 2013 | By Anthony Gentile

Natural Products Expo West 2013 is here and Xela Pack is once again exhibiting and teaching people about the benefits of using environmentally conscious packaging for their products. When we first signed up for the Natural Product Expo West in 2010, friends from other packaging companies would ask us why we were exhibiting at a product show rather than focusing on more packaging shows. The explanation was simple in my mind. The product companies that we knew would appreciate our packaging most, just happened to be exhibitors and we felt like it was prime territory for us to reach smart consumers with our environmentally conscious packaging.

We’re now on our fourth Natural Products Expo West, and it has become the most successful of the trade shows where we exhibit. Each … Read More

Save Big Money on Sustainable Packaging with Custom Inserts for Stock Mailer Boxes

February 13, 2013 | By Dennis Salazar
spacer

The variety of internal and protective green packaging options we offer continues to grow as we indentify new materials that can be easily and inexpensively customized to fit a wide variety of products and applications. The cost can be minimized even more when the inserts are engineered to fit into one of our existing stock boxes to avoid additional tooling (mold or cutting die) costs.

The advantages of internal and protective packaging

In most cases compared to void fill materials or wraps like bubble or foam packaging, custom inserts can:

  1. Save labor by reducing packing time
  2. Immobilizing the product being shipped more effectively with minimal packaging materials
  3. Avoid damage claims and customer complaints
  4. Reduce shipping weight in many cases
