In order to do our part to keep landfills as ecologically friendly as possible, we often order misprinted corrugated boxes from a local box manufacturer. These boxes would end up in landfills without ever being used, so we buy these boxes to ensure they are used at least once before being disposed of.
In a small way, this is how we help reduce waste. Use of these packages also help keep the cost of shipping and handling down, allowing us to pass these savings on to our customers.
This means that you may receive product from Container & Packaging Supply in a box that isn't printed with our logo, meanwhile knowing that you, too, are helping to reduce needless waste.
