Decoration options include screen printing, hot stamping, digital printing, coatings, gradients, and embossing. Each technique offers different advantages in appearance, durability, and cost.

Sughera is a cork and rubber composite material used as a sustainable alternative to standard plastics in cosmetic packaging components such as caps and decorative elements. It combines natural cork with a small proportion of synthetic rubber for durability, offering a distinctive tactile finish along with a lower environmental footprint than virgin plastic. Corpack offers Sughera as part of its sustainable materials range.

Mono-material packaging is made from a single type of plastic, such as PP or PET, across the entire pack including cap and closure. This makes the packaging easier to sort and recycle, since mixed materials often cannot be separated at standard recycling facilities. Corpack designs mono-material PP and PET systems as a more recyclable alternative to multi-material packaging.

PCR stands for post-consumer recycled plastic, material reclaimed from used packaging and reprocessed into new resin. Corpack uses PCR in bottles, jars, and closures to reduce virgin plastic use without compromising strength or barrier performance. PCR content typically ranges from 30 to 100 percent depending on the product and color requirements.

Sustainable packaging is packaging designed to minimize environmental impact by reducing resource use, carbon footprint, and plastic waste. It focuses on using materials efficiently, lowering emissions across the supply chain, and ensuring packaging fits into a realistic recycling or reuse system.Sustainability can be improved through lightweight, efficient designs, refill or reuse systems, and sourcing packaging closer to the final market to reduce transport emissions. Material choices also play a major role: mono-material designs improve recyclability, PCR plastics reduce virgin material use, and alternative materials such as aluminium, glass, or biobased materials can significantly reduce overall plastic waste when used appropriately.Ultimately, sustainable packaging is a holistic system, not just a material change. It considers sourcing, manufacturing, consumer use, and the real end-of-life pathway.

Yes. Corpack provides full REACH compliance documentation and food contact certificates for our materials, supporting regulatory checks in global markets.

To prepare a quote, we need your company details, delivery address, desired delivery date, material preference, size and capacity, decoration details, order quantity, and any customization needs. Sharing a brief, reference samples, or a benchmark design speeds up the process.

Corpack's standard minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 10,000 units. Some stock items may allow smaller quantities for early stage brands. Contact us to check current availability.

For a product launch, place orders 5 to 6 months in advance to allow time for samples, tooling, production, and logistics. Complex designs or new molds may need additional lead time.

Developing a new custom packaging mold typically takes 8 to 14 weeks from final design approval, depending on complexity and cavity count. This includes tool design, machining, sampling, and adjustment rounds before the mold is approved for production. Building this time into your launch schedule alongside sampling and production helps avoid delays.

Custom mold tooling costs depend on the complexity of the design, the number of cavities, and the material used, and typically range from a few thousand to several tens of thousands of euros. Simple shapes with single cavity tools cost less, while multi-cavity tools for high volume production or intricate geometries cost more. Corpack provides a detailed tooling quote once design requirements and target volumes are confirmed.

Stock packaging refers to existing designs and tooling that are ready for production without new mold development, which means shorter lead times and lower upfront cost. Custom packaging is developed specifically for a brand, with its own mold and design, offering full control over shape, branding, and functionality but requiring longer development time and tooling investment. Corpack supports both routes, and many brands combine stock components with custom decoration to balance speed and differentiation.
