About CambiumPak
Mailers, cartons, molded pulp, void fill and tape. All fiber, all recyclable in the same stream, all specified to a published board grade and a tested load.
Why we started
Packaging that calls itself sustainable usually is not, quite. A padded mailer with a bubble liner. A carton sealed with plastic tape. Each asks the person opening it to pull the pack into two material streams, and almost nobody does.
So we build the other way round. Everything in the range is fiber, including the cushioning and the tape. What leaves our line arrives as one material.
One material in, one material out
Every part of the pack is fiber, including the parts that usually are not: the cushioning, the liner, the corner protection and the tape.
Paper cushioning has to beat bubble film on protection, not on sentiment. Otherwise the pack fails, the parcel ships twice, and that is worse for everything than the film would have been.
| We use | Instead of |
|---|---|
| Fluted kraft liner | Bubble film |
| Molded pulp corner guards | Expanded polystyrene |
| Expanding honeycomb wrap | Loose-fill pellets |
| Water-activated gummed tape | Pressure-sensitive plastic tape |
| Tuck-lock and self-seal closures | Tape and glue |
What we promise
Four commitments, each checkable against a figure published on this site.
Paper in, paper out
Every product is fiber. Nothing to separate out before the pack goes in the bin.
Published, not on request
Grades, loads and lead times are on the page. No phoning a rep for a number.
Banded, never rounded
A verified figure by weight and a band. We never round up, and never publish one without the other.
Flat until you need it
Ships flat, makes up at the bench. You are not paying to freight air.
Quality and testing
Board is only as good as the figure you can hold it to. Every tested figure we publish is tied to a size, not to a range.
Board and burst
Published per size on the spec sheet for every family.
Transit drop
Corner, edge and face, loaded to the rated gross weight, not a nominal one.
Recycled content
Verified by mill declaration and lot sampling. Where a size differs, we say so against the size.
Every tested figure shown on this site is provisional and not independently certified.
Mills and converting
One on each coast, so lead times do not depend on where you pack.
