Eco-Friendly Products

Packaging designed around materials, protection and efficiency.

Polar Canvas develops paper-based packaging solutions intended to protect products, reduce avoidable material use and support more efficient storage, transport and recycling.

Our Product Approach

Use the right material, in the right amount, for the right purpose.

Good packaging begins with the protection a product actually needs. Material grade, structure and dimensions should work together to control damage without adding unnecessary layers or empty space.

Recyclability, transport efficiency and manufacturing practicality must be considered alongside customer-specific requirements. The aim is a balanced solution that performs throughout its useful life while using resources carefully.

Product Categories

Packaging Solutions

A considered range of paper-based formats for different products, supply chains and protection requirements.

06

Recycled-Fibre Packaging

Packaging solutions capable of using recycled paper fibre where product performance and application requirements permit.

Typical applications
Secondary packaging, transport packaging and applications suited to recycled-content board.
Sustainability consideration
Recycled fibre can support material circularity when its strength, cleanliness and performance match the intended use.

Packaging by Application

Designed for Different Packaging Needs

  • 01Furniture and home products
  • 02Food and consumer goods
  • 03E-commerce
  • 04Automotive and engineering components
  • 05Electronics
  • 06Industrial products
  • 07Retail products
  • 08Logistics and distribution

Packaging design should always consider product weight, dimensions, handling conditions, transport distance, storage and required protection.

Why Right-Sizing Matters

Less empty space. Better material use.

Oversized boxes consume more material and often require additional fillers. Excess space can also allow products to move, increasing the possibility of damage during handling and transport.

Packaging designed around the product can improve storage and vehicle utilisation while reducing avoidable material. Better sizing may also lower the total cost of packaging and distribution.

Oversized and right-sized packaging comparisonThe oversized package has a large amount of empty space around the product. The right-sized package fits the same product more closely and uses less packaging area.Oversized packageRight-sized package
Matching package dimensions more closely to the product reduces unused volume.

Material and Design Considerations

Responsible packaging requires balanced decisions.

01

Product protection

The structure should control movement and withstand the likely impacts, compression and vibration of distribution.

02

Board strength

Board grade and flute profile should be matched to product weight, stacking demands and handling conditions.

03

Paper composition

Paper selection should consider strength, print needs, surface performance and compatibility with recycling systems.

04

Recycled fibre suitability

Recycled content should be selected where it can meet the cleanliness and performance requirements of the application.

05

Moisture exposure

Expected humidity, condensation and direct moisture contact can influence material selection and structural performance.

06

Transport and handling conditions

Distance, handling frequency, pallet patterns and storage environments all affect the protection a pack must provide.

How We Work

Packaging improvement starts with understanding the product.

Polar Canvas works to understand product dimensions, weight, handling conditions, storage requirements and transport risks before recommending a packaging structure. The objective is to balance protection, material use, manufacturing practicality and cost.
