Eco-conscious European brands are replacing plastic packaging with custom paper bags and paper boxes, while local regulators keep tightening green material rules every year. We’ve sorted all compliant eco options for both your bag and box orders. For custom shopping paper bags:

1. 100% recycled kraft paper: Fully recyclable, low cost for daily retail use

2. FSC-certified coated art paper: Ideal for colorful brand printing, zero illegal forest raw materials

3. Paper twisted handles & flat paper handles: Fully plastic-free alternative to PP rope

For luxury paper boxes:

1. Recycled CCNB grey board as box base, paired with recycled outer wrapping paper

2. Water-based printing ink, no harmful VOC chemical residue

3. Plastic-free finish: Replace plastic lamination with water-based soft touch coating

All materials we supply pass EU recyclability testing, and we can provide material certification upon request. If you need eco packaging samples for brand review, please send us your target product category.
