Eco-Friendly Options for Custom Incense Packaging
Today’s consumers are not just buying incense for aroma—they're also buying into your brand values. If your incense promotes peace, mindfulness, or spiritual balance, then your packaging must reflect sustainability and eco-consciousness.
Let’s explore how incense brands can go green without sacrificing beauty or performance in packaging.
Kraft Paper Boxes
Kraft is a top choice for eco-friendly incense packaging. It’s:
100% recyclable and biodegradable
Durable and natural-looking
Ideal for brands that promote Ayurvedic, organic, or herbal incense
Use kraft for both outer boxes and sleeves. Add foil stamping or soy-based ink for branding.
Seed Paper Packaging
This unique material gives back to the Earth. Seed paper:
Contains wildflower, basil, or herb seeds
Can be planted after use
Biodegrades naturally in soil
Perfect for incense samplers, sleeve wraps, or thank-you cards inside the box.
Tip: Print with non-toxic vegetable inks only.
Compostable Window Films
If you’re using die-cut windows on your incense boxes, avoid plastic. Instead, go for:
Cellulose-based films from wood pulp
PLA films (from corn starch)
Clear and heat-sealable, but compostable in industrial conditions
These options maintain product visibility while staying eco-aligned.
Soy-Based Inks
Your design might look green—but is it printed green?
Soy-based inks:
Are derived from renewable resources
Emit lower VOCs than petroleum-based inks
Provide bright, clean print results
We at Hola Custom Boxes use soy ink options for all sustainable packaging lines.
Minimalist and Zero-Waste Design
Eco-packaging isn’t just about material—it’s about reducing excess. Here’s how:
Avoid lamination unless compostable
Use mono-materials to aid recycling
Design boxes without foam or plastic trays
Add QR codes instead of physical instruction manuals
Bonus: Offer customers a recycling or reuse guide printed inside the lid.
