Water Soluble Film

In a world where sustainability is no longer a buzzword but a necessity, the quest for eco-friendly packaging solutions has reached new depths.

Picture this: Packaging that dissolves effortlessly in water. It leaves behind no trace of waste. Most importantly, there are no residual pieces of plastic film or particles.

The dream is quickly becoming reality thanks to the availability of water-soluble films.

Imagine the Possibilities: reducing plastic pollution, reducing waste collection, and simplification of recycling processes.

With water-soluble films, we’re not just thinking outside the box; we’re re-inventing film packaging.

CMYK

In CMYK, colors are created by mixing varying percentages of the four inks. When used together, they can produce a wide range of colors. Pantone colors or spot colors are a special kind of ink. Spot color printing is used to print large areas of a base color. Spot color printing is a single color with no gradient and is specified by a PMS (Pantone Matching System) color number.  For example:  Red, PMS 032 is the shade of red we use in the branding for Creative Packaging Solutions.

Refillable Packaging

Imagine This: your product, beautifully packaged in sleek, durable containers that customers can refill again and again. Not only does it reduce single-use waste, but it also strengthens your brand’s commitment to sustainability – something savvy consumers are totally into these days.

Here’s the deal: refillable packaging isn’t just about eco-friendliness; it’s also a smart business move. People love convenience. Refillable options offer them an easy way to enjoy your products while reducing their carbon footprint.

Cosmetic Fill

A standard fill is when you fill the container up to its designated fill capacity. If a bottle is sold as a 4 oz or 120ml bottle, the fill line is designated by using water, the world-wide universal ingredient. You should always determine your best “cosmetic” fill for your product and the product’s own viscosity. Then use this fill capacity in your label claim.

Plastic Resin Identification Codes and Resin Comparison Chart

Plastic bottles and jars are common packaging options.  Plastic can be used for a wide variety of products.   Plastic combines convenience, availability, both standard in-stock or custom shapes, light weight, and economic value.  Plastic can be used for food and beverage, cosmetics and personal care, household, lawn and garden, and pet and veterinarian products. Reference the chart to determine the plastic choice for your product.

Each plastic compound has different capabilities and characteristics. You can reference the above chart to understand how one plastic compares to another. For instance, oxygen permeation is an important characteristic for carbonated beverages.

What is “M”?

You’ll sometimes see a reference to “M” in our quotes. Technically, M represents a Roman numeral – 1,000. Sometimes someone will use an M to imply a million.  Again, technically, this should be noted as MM.  When someone implies M for one million, it is only a shorthand technique, rather than an official designation.
