What Sets Plus Packaging Apart in Compostable Mailers
We’ve been in the packaging business for over 40 years, but our approach to compostable mailers isn’t stuck in the past. We’ve partnered with leading sustainable material suppliers to offer products that truly break down—not the “greenwashed” alternatives you might find elsewhere.
Our compostable mailers are made in the USA, which means shorter shipping times, lower carbon footprint, and the ability to respond quickly if you need a rush order.
Unlike companies that just jumped on the eco-friendly bandwagon, we’ve spent years testing and perfecting our compostable materials to ensure they maintain their strength and integrity during shipping while still breaking down properly afterward.
