We have seen it time and time again, walking into a store and seeing a stainless steel water bottle in a box with a clear plastic window or a plastic bag inside. You have a product trying to reduce single use plastic and it’s packaged in the very thing it’s designed to stop.

Brands in this category are using cardboard hang sells and swing tags, cardboard boxes and bio plastic to package their products. When we got our own bento lunch box designed, we had a talk to the factory about the packaging as well. They come in a simple cardboard box with a brown unbleached paper band around the box for branding.
