Sustainable Packaging Options for the Wine Industry

With a major presence in Arizona and California, it’s no surprise Heritage Pioneer has a lot of experience helping wine makers find packaging solutions. Today, one of the most important factors in wine industry packaging decisions is sustainability. Consumers throughout the U.S. are increasingly sensitive to packaging waste, over packaging, and packaging with environmentally unfriendly products. Now more than ever, selecting the wrong type of packaging can have a direct impact on sales.

Growing in popularity are molded fiber shippers, which make an excellent replacement for polystyrene and other rigid foams. Molded fiber shippers can be used as single or multiple unit shippers and as case pack trays. They are made from 100% post consumer waste recycled materials.

For printed bags and gift boxes, eco friendly options are abundantly available. Paper materials and substrates with high recycled content can produce high impact graphics and provide the necessary strength, making them an ideal choice for retail use.

Similarly, corrugated shippers and interleaving sheets with high recycled content are readily available. Small flute corrugated, in particular, allows for high quality printing and offers excellent rigidity.

As design specialists in the wine industry, we understand that primary and secondary packaging materials are part of your sales and branding programs. Having sustainable materials is not enough – they must convey your brand identity and attract attention at the retail level as well. Our design team works with you to create packages that fulfill all your needs, not just one or two.

For automation, our systems include fully automatic and semi automatic stretch wrappers, inkjet printers, and automatic case sealers. Automation offers a sustainable advantage by reducing packaging material consumption. Stretch wrappers, in particular, can reduce pallet wrap film consumption considerably versus hand wrapping.
