Sustainable Packaging Product Development

At Doran & Ward Packaging, we strive to marry sustainability with innovation, providing custom packaging that doesn’t sacrifice quality or product integrity. From eco-friendly soap packaging that withstands warm and humid conditions to environmentally-focused food packaging that ensures the freshest product and long shelf life, sustainable packaging requires rigorous testing and quality control. That’s why we work closely with suppliers, scientists, and independent third-party testing to develop new products that drive sustainable solutions for the industry.

100% Recyclable Water-Based Ink

Environmentally friendly, water-based inks are sustainable alternatives to traditional petroleum-based inks, enabling brands to shrink their carbon footprint, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and align with green values — a win-win for both the environment and your brand. Innovations in resin technology, viscosity stability, and drying capacity have significantly improved water-based ink’s print quality. Water-based inks are 100% recyclable and contain limited volatile organic compounds (VOCs), quickly degrading and returning to nature, making it an excellent environmentally-conscious ink choice.

100% Post-Consumer Waste (PCW) Paper Stock & Board

Post-consumer waste paper stock and boards are made from 100% recycled content that has completed its lifecycle and would otherwise be discarded. In terms of sustainability, PCW is considered the most eco-friendly option as it reduces the amount of consumer waste that ends up in landfills. With over 20 years of experience working with and printing on PCW materials, we select PCW paper stock and boards known for their versatility, durability, and high quality, providing an end product that allows for design flexibility and delivers eye-catching results.
