Why does the dietary supplement industry rely on paper?
Not so long ago, plastic bottles, jars and blister packs were the norm. Today, more and more brands are opting for paper-based, biodegradable and environmentally friendly packaging. Why?
🌍 Growing environmental awareness among customers
Consumers no longer want to support brands that generate excess plastic. They are looking for environmentally friendly products.
♻️ Regulatory pressure and market trends
The EU is introducing further legislation to reduce plastic consumption. For supplement brands, this is not an option - it is a necessity.
💚 Building an eco-brand image
Paper packaging not only reduces the carbon footprint, but also attracts conscious consumers and builds loyalty.
What forms of paper packaging are popular in supplements?
- Paper doypacks (with or without a small layer of bio-foil inside) - ideal for powders, superfood blends, proteins.
- Paper tubes - Stylish, rigid packaging for capsules and tablets.
- Unit sachets - monodoses made of biodegradable material.
- Cardboard boxes - for supplement kits or bulk packaging.
Is paper packaging sustainable?
Modern technology makes it possible to create paper packaging:
✅ moisture-resistant,
✅ oxygen barrier,
✅ recyclable,
✅ HACCP-compliant and for food contact.
This means that they not only look eco, but actually meet quality and legal requirements.
