As a sustainable packaging manufacturer, our goal is to deliver the highest quality packaging solutions with minimal environmental impact. We recognize that our customers have their own sustainability initiatives. It’s important for us to align our principles and practices with their requirements. We achieve this by developing cases that:
Reusable packaging solutions tailored to the size and shape of sensitive medical equipment and devices
Heavy-duty, reusable cases with custom-designed protective compartments and inserts for tools and parts
Form-fitting, reusable cases that protect delicate electronics while minimizing the need for extra cushioning
Reusable cases that are durable enough to withstand multiple shipping cycles before needing replacement
82% of consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable packaging. 71% of consumers have chosen a product based on its sustainability in the last six months.1

The Customer’s Challenge: With a packaging solution made of corrugate and foam, the customer sought an alternative solution with no foam. That way, the entire package would be recyclable. At the same time, they wanted their boxes to be able to ship flat to further minimize space requirements and costs.
The CBS Solution: Guided by usability and sustainability in an effort to simplify the design to minimal pieces and materials, Cases By Source developed a packaging solution without foam to reduce costs and make the packaging fully recyclable. Our corrugated box manufacturing facility is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), allowing us to provide these trusted seals on the final box. To further reduce our footprint, we provided boxes that would ship flat to increase pack out, lower shipping costs, and reduce space requirements.
The end solution was a single-stream recyclable.
At the manufacturing facility, we procure from 100% renewable resources that purchase their paper from trees from land that replant the trees and do not add to deforestation. You can learn more about FSC and SFI via the links below. What’s more, all inks are water-based.
