Lower Impact Materials
Designed with sustainability in mind, our packaging helps brands reduce waste without compromising on quality, while also encouraging better manufacturing and recycling practices, good for both product and planet.
Sustainably Sourced
Freckl is FSC® certified, and we only use materials from responsibly managed forests, so every box is sourced with care for people and the planet. Want to use the FSC® logo on your packaging? Contact Freckl.studio.
Plastic Free
No sneaky coatings, no so-called ‘recyclable’ plastics. Being plastic-free has been a core principle at Freckl since day one, over five years ago. Many so-called compostable plastics still contain PBAT, a petroleum-based additive that breaks down poorly and leaves behind microplastics. We think plastic-free should actually mean plastic-free.
Great Packaging Deserves Great Print
Whether you're after bold branding, playful patterns, or clear handling instructions, we've got options to suit every size, style, and budget, offering flexo, digital, and litho printing, all with sustainability in mind.
Non-Toxic Inks
Every box we print uses water-based inks—completely free from harsh solvents, chemicals, and plastic-based nasties. They're better for the people printing your packaging, better for the environment, and still deliver bold, vibrant colours. Because good design shouldn't come at the cost of cleaner air and water.
Digital Print
Need smaller quantities or seasonal designs? Digital printing gives you full-colour flexibility with no need for plates, meaning faster turnarounds, lower minimum orders, and zero plate waste. It's the perfect choice for businesses that want to stay agile, test new ideas, or simply mix things up.
Flexographic Print
Flexo printing is the go-to for larger runs where cost-efficiency meets quality. We use low-impact processes and the same water-based inks, ensuring even high-volume jobs stay sustainable. Flexo's also ideal for single-colour or two-colour design, simple, effective, and budget-friendly.
Beyond The Unboxing
What happens after your product arrives matters just as much as how it’s made. That’s why every material we use is designed to fit into a circular system, whether it’s reused, recycled, or composted, keeping waste out of landfill and valuable resources in the loop.
Home Compostable
For the green fingers (and the garden worms). Some of our materials are certified home compostable, meaning they break down naturally in home compost bins, no industrial facility needed. In just a few months, your packaging can return to the earth, feeding plants, vegetables, and the soil itself. It’s packaging that truly disappears.
Recyclable
Simple, practical, circular. Every piece of packaging we make is designed to slot straight into standard council kerbside recycling. No tricky separation, no special treatment, just flatten it and pop it in the right bin. Easy for your customers, better for the planet.
Returnable
When packaging can do its job twice (or more), that’s a win. Most of our designs can be made with a returnable strip, giving customers a simple way to send products back in the same box they arrived in. Less hassle, less waste, and fewer boxes needed overall.
Designed To Deliver
Smart design doesn’t stop at the product, it carries through to how we move it. We keep our packaging light, local, and low-impact, cutting down on unnecessary emissions from factory to customer.
Printed in the UK
All our packaging is proudly produced right here in the UK. Shorter supply chains mean fewer miles travelled, lower carbon emissions, and faster lead times. It’s better for the planet and your deadlines.
Volume and Weight Reduction
Lighter materials, smarter designs, and space-efficient sizes mean your packaging takes up less room in transit. That reduces shipping costs and shrinks your carbon footprint. With a wide range of stock sizes (and custom options too), we make sure you’re not paying to ship empty air.
