Mono-material packaging: look beyond the film
Designing for recycling starts with the complete pack.
The design direction
CEFLEX D4ACE favours mono-PE or mono-PP where suitable. Product protection remains a starting point for material selection.
Assess the whole pack
CEFLEX also addresses inks, adhesives, barriers and sortability. A “mono-material” description alone is insufficient to assess a design.
What to put in your next brief
- Include the product, required shelf life and transport conditions in the brief.
- Compare material options before agreeing specifications and a sample trial.
- Confirm the basis for recycling information in the destination market before approving artwork.
