In 2026, sustainability is no longer just a trend—it’s a buyer expectation. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification has become a key benchmark for responsible packaging, signaling that materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests. For packaging buyers, FSC certification is more than a compliance checkbox—it’s a brand value that influences purchasing decisions, retailer acceptance, and customer loyalty. What Is FSC Certification? The Forest Stewardship Council certifies that paper-based packaging materials are sourced from forests managed for environmental responsibility, social benefit, and economic viability. FSC Mix: Packaging contains a blend of FSC-certified and controlled wood. FSC Recycled: Packaging is made entirely from recycled fiber. FSC 100%: Packaging is sourced only from FSC-certified forests. Why FSC Matters to Buyers in 2026 Retail access: Many major retailers now require FSC-certified packaging. Sustainability goals: Aligns with corporate ESG and carbon reduction commitments. Consumer trust: Customers recognize the FSC label and view it as credible. Global compliance: Meets international sustainability regulations. How FSC Certification Strengthens Brand Value Differentiation: Stand out with certified sustainable packaging. Marketing advantage: FSC logos reinforce eco-friendly messaging. Risk reduction: Verified sourcing prevents greenwashing claims. Customer loyalty: Environmentally conscious buyers prefer certified products. Challenges in FSC Implementation Limited supply of certain FSC substrates. Higher costs compared to non-certified materials. Need for supplier audits and documentation. Packaging Solutions with Brown Packaging Brown Packaging partners with buyers to integrate FSC-certified materials into corrugated boxes, folding cartons, and retail packaging. Our solutions support sustainability while maintaining cost efficiency and protection. Contact us to strengthen your brand with FSC-certified packaging. References Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

Choosing the right packaging material is one of the most important decisions buyers face. Single-material packaging offers simplicity and recyclability, while multi-material designs provide enhanced performance and protection. Understanding the trade-offs helps companies balance cost, functionality, and sustainability goals in 2026. What Is Single-Material Packaging? Single-material packaging uses one substrate—such as corrugated board, folding carton, or plastic—for the entire structure. Advantages: Easier to recycle and dispose. Lower material costs in many cases. Streamlined sourcing and inventory. Supports sustainability messaging. Disadvantages: Limited barrier protection. Less customization for fragile or complex products. May require added thickness for strength, increasing weight. What Is Multi-Material Packaging? Multi-material packaging combines two or more substrates—such as corrugated with foam, or paperboard laminated with film—to achieve specific performance outcomes. Advantages: Greater protection against moisture, oxygen, and impact. Allows for premium finishes and enhanced graphics. Ideal for fragile or high-value products. Customizable for unique supply chain conditions. Disadvantages: More difficult to recycle due to material separation. Higher cost and longer lead times. Complex sourcing and inventory management. When to Use Each Approach Single-material packaging: Best for products with low fragility, strong sustainability requirements, or cost-driven programs. Multi-material packaging: Best for high-value, fragile, or regulated products requiring advanced protection. Balancing Performance and Sustainability Buyers must weigh performance needs against eco goals: Use recyclable coatings to extend single-material performance. Choose hybrid designs that separate easily for recycling. Apply multi-material solutions only where risk of damage outweighs cost. Packaging Solutions with Brown Packaging Brown Packaging helps buyers evaluate when to use single- vs. multi-material packaging. Our team balances sustainability, performance, and cost to deliver solutions tailored to your supply chain. Contact us to explore the right approach for your products.
