Monadnock Has Hollywood Covered With Media Packaging Papers

Monadnock Media Packaging Papers

Traditionally, plastic clamshells, jewel cases and oversized packaging have been the norm for protecting entertainment products while also protecting against theft. However, all of that plastic has placed a growing burden on the nation’s waste stream.

With the advent of electronic tags for theft prevention on media and entertainment products, much of that oversized and over-engineered packaging has become unnecessary. That is why many major entertainment companies have been taking a closer look at their packaging and corresponding environmental footprint and shifting toward more sustainable packaging solutions. Monadnock recognized that shift and has worked with industry leaders to develop environmentally preferable packaging products to address the entertainment industry’s needs.

For this growing market, Monadnock has created a new mini-folio entitled “Media Packaging Papers” which features a variety of papers that are all FSC Certified and Manufactured Carbon Neutral using 100% Renewable Electrical Energy. This sampler provides detailed product specifications and commercial applications for Monadnock Envi PC 80 Folding Box Board, Monadnock Duraprint 7 and Monadnock Astrolite PC 100, as well as printed samples that demonstrate how the products print, emboss and stamp. These samples represent a large portion of the entertainment community’s packaging requirements and make samples available in a specifier-friendly portfolio.
