What sustainability practices does Sunshine Gift Packaging follow?

At Sunshine Gift Packaging, sustainability is central to everything we do. We’re always exploring the most eco-friendly practices across our production, packaging, and shipping. Most of our products are made from cardboard—an inherently sustainable material that’s recyclable and renewable when responsibly sourced. Our boxes contain at least 50% recycled content and are 100% recyclable ♻️, and we partner with suppliers who prioritize ethical forestry. We also mainly use digital printing, which avoids traditional printing plates and reduces both energy use and material waste. It allows for on-demand production, meaning we only print what’s needed, minimizing overproduction and excess inventory. From design to delivery, we’re committed to reducing our environmental impact while helping our customers create high-quality, sustainable packaging.
