Last year, I wrote a blog post about this unique, green void fill option and I referred to it as “perhaps the best, loose, void fill option, ever.” That was not a wild exaggeration. After months of evaluation, we are still convinced it handles some applications better than most other currently available products.
Why It Works so Well
Its unusual shape and configuration help it to support heavy, fragile items extremely well. Expandos’ serrated pyramidal design helps the loose pieces… Read More
When we started producing environmentally conscious packaging in 1987, there was no public internet. The first website was launched in 1991, but even then almost nobody had web browsers, so nobody really heard that tree fall in the woods. In 1995, the internet started to take off with the mainstream public, and somewhere around 1997/1998 things really got cooking. Xela Pack was 10 years old at that point.
Back then, everything was done by phone and mail (snail mail as… Read More

“Is it available with my logo on it?” That is a common request we get from customers who understand the value of having their secondary packaging custom printed with their name, logo or message on it. It makes a memorable and positive first impression to customers and reinforces your other marketing and branding efforts.
We understand that on some products it can be difficult and/or costly, but on many of the products we offer it could not be any easier.… Read More
Have you noticed those stylish shopping bags that up-market department stores lavish on their customers? They’re a far cry from the plastic bags offered by the big-box retailers, and they are clearly not an inexpensive line item in the operating budget of a Nordstrom or Macys. Shoppers at these retailer locations have come to expect quality shopping bags as part of the shopping experience. In fact, some retailers’ shopping bags are so nice that shoppers use them for other purposes,… Read More
It easily fits into your hand and weighs less that an ounce but is in our opinion a legitimate sustainable packaging innovation because it extends box life and enables boxes to be reused. It is inexpensive and can itself be reused over and over again, thus saving countless boxes and, yes, saving trees. It is the Globe Guard® Reusable Box Sealer™ and it also ends a somewhat crude and very wasteful practice of quarter folding the top flaps of… Read More

The produce department of any supermarket is one of those places where one cannot help but feel in touch with planet Earth. You might be just paces from the cleaning products aisle where chemicals of all types are beautifully merchandised, but in the produce department you’re surrounded by the bounty of many American states and foreign countries. You pick out a couple of peaches, tear off a produce bag, and add them to your basket. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it?

Water-Resistant, Meet Sustainable
Water-resistant paper packaging is essential for many situations. Over the years, clients in various industries had requested premium water-resistant paper packaging that is sustainable and eco-friendly. There are various situations where water-resistant packaging is essential — cold/chilled, refrigerated, frozen, wet, powder, bakery and more. Traditional packaging companies have been offering water-resistant packaging for years, but they all missed the mark on sustainable fundamentals.
