Consumer Packaging, Media Packaging, Tobacco Packaging and POP Display


Shorewood Packaging was established as a private company in 1967. One of the company’s first achievements was introduction of the Shorepak®, a one-piece record jacket designed by Shorewood. The Shorepak quickly became the standard for the record industry throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. From there, Shorewood grew into one of the top suppliers of packaging for the international music industry, keeping pace with the music business’ explosive evolution from LPs to cassettes to compact discs.

By 1986, when Shorewood became a public company, it had begun to expand its operations and technologies through a series of acquisitions in the US and Canada, diversifying into a variety of markets, including pharmaceutical, personal care, cosmetics and food as well as home entertainment. In 1998, Shorewood moved from the NASDAQ to the New York Stock Exchange and expanded overseas, opening its packaging operation in China the same year and its UK facility in South Wales in early 2000. In April of 2000, Shorewood Packaging was acquired by International Paper and joined its Consumer Packaging Group. The company has continued to grow with the addition of Shorewood Digital (electronic prepress services), Shorewood Display and new facilities in Poland and South Korea. Today, Shorewood Packaging has multiple manufacturing operations in the North America, Europe and Asia.

BUILD SUSTAINABILITY INTO YOUR BUSINESS

How Fiber-Based Corrugated Packaging…

  • Reduces the impact on the environment
  • Protects the natural systems of the planet
  • Provides customized packaging solutions

Environmental Footprint

Fiber-based corrugated packaging is manufactured from sustainable resources and designed for true cradle-to-cradle recovery and recycling, which reduces your environmental footprint.

CRADLE-TO-CRADLE DESIGN

Packaging Minus the Waste

We design your packaging with the entire product life cycle in mind.

Containerboard from International Paper is:

  • Made from 100% renewable forest fiber procured in accordance with SFI® standards and recycled fiber.
  • Manufactured with over 70% biomass energy that reduces greenhouse gas emissions

    Corrugated packaging from International Paper is:
  • Engineered from strong 100% renewable fiber. Combined with our advanced technology and approach to design, this reduces the amount of packaging material required to achieve optimal strength, reducing total supply chain costs.  (Ask about our optimization tool: Box Compression Test Pro™.)
  • Often shelf-ready, designed to reduce the need for repackaging and to minimize waste.
  • Reusable as packaging and recoverable for recycling into new packaging and other paper products.

Where do old corrugated containers go?

Recovered fiber in the U.S. is effectively used in many paper and packaging products.

Sustainable Packaging Defined

  • Is beneficial, safe & healthy for individuals and communities throughout its life cycle 
  •  Meets market criteria for performance and cost.
  • Is sourced, manufactured, transported, and recycled using renewable energy.
  • Maximizes the use of renewable or recycled source materials
  • Is manufactured using clean production technologies and best practices.
  • Is made from materials healthy in all probable end-of-life scenarios.
  • Is physically designed to optimize materials and energy.
  • Is effectively recovered and utilized in biological and/or industrial cradle-to-cradle cycles.

CRADLE-TO-CRADLE LIFE CYCLE

Corrugated packaging is fiber-based and sustainable. It naturally flows in an appropriate, continuous cycle through either a recycle flow or a resource flow where waste has been designed out of the life cycle of the packaging.

Recycle Flow: Fiber-based packaging can be recovered, reused or recycled and maintains its value throughout the life cycle.  Losses from the cycle are minimized by recovering packaging for reuse as raw material for papermaking, for energy recovery, or for biomass utilization through composting.

Resource Flow: Fiber-based packaging is made from 100% renewable raw material (fiber) that can be returned to the environment in a safe manner via composting or energy recovery without the release of harmful emissions.

Reduce Your Environmental Footprint…

With corrugated packaging that is renewable, recyclable, recoverable and compostable.

Our 100% renewable fiber-based packaging is one of the most environmentally healthy, beneficial and safe packaging materials in all probable end-of-life scenarios, including:

Reuse: Can be designed and engineered as a reusable container.

Composting: Can be composted following most applications.

Recycling: Can be recycled and recovered for use in other paper and packaging products.

Energy Recovery: Can be used as a greenhouse gas neutral, renewable biofuel.

Landfill: With its high recovery rate, is less likely to end up in landfills.

What is the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® Program?

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI®)Program is a comprehensive system of principles, objectives and performance measures developed by foresters, conservationists and scientists that combines the perpetual growing and harvesting of trees with the protection of wildlife, plants, soil and water quality. There are currently over 136 million acres of forestland in North America enrolled in the SFI program, making it among the world's largest sustainable forestry programs.
