I am writing to complain about manufacturers who use unnecessary packaging.

It's a false economy to try to cut costs by using sub-standard packaging.

Once we use less packaging it's unlikely we'd go back to using more.

"But they can control it pretty well if they have fairly strict standards and use special packaging."

The label has also used non-traditional packaging with some of their releases.

On a finished case goods basis, the new design uses 250 tons less packaging than the original.

Using packaging in this way is a means of retail loss prevention.

The Basics range uses minimal packaging with simple orange and white designs.

Using minimal packaging has also been a common goal to help reduce costs.

We also have a limited capacity to use recycled packaging.
