How We Contribute

Product

Allen Field’s innovative packaging components are meticulously designed to safeguard your package design during transit and handling, minimizing the risk of damage and reducing shipping waste. These solutions ensure your items reach their destination intact, providing a quality user experience from receiving to unboxing for both consumers and businesses alike. Our durable, reusable, and recyclable packaging components support sustainability, contributing to greener business practices.

Embracing a “less is more” philosophy, we design components using the minimal amount of material necessary while maintaining functionality and durability. Whenever possible, our parts are designed for multiple uses, helping to reduce recurring packaging costs and waste. Additionally, many of our components eliminate the need for staples and sharp objects in packaging, while others provide ergonomic carrying solutions to help reduce lifting injuries.

Material

We maximize responsible sourcing by utilizing recycled, recyclable materials and biodegradable additives. By closely monitoring the latest technology and industrial trends, we stay updated on the most sustainable materials available for manufacturing. Our goal is to achieve sustainability without compromising strength and durability. As part of this effort, we have developed a new product line that complements our plastic products using Kraft paper.

Our Headquarters

Over the past few years, We've taken deliberate actions toward reducing our footprint in the office. From reducing our paper usage by half to implementing an email-only invoice policy, allowing us to decrease our printed paper consumption by approximately 30%. We also use only energy efficient light bulbs throughout our entire building and the Nest leaf setting on our thermostats, reducing our energy consumption 5%. Our goal is to continue improving and implementing sustainable practices throughout our company.

Our Philosophies

At Allen Field, we believe that cultivating sustainable practices help achieve higher efficiency and profitability. Our manufacturing facilities are ISO certified and we are in total control of all our procedures; including safety, performance, and use of materials. To minimize our waste, we recycle and reuse all the excess plastic generated during the production process. As a global supplier of plastic products, our raw materials are responsibly sourced only from trusted vendors. Nearly all of our packaging components are reusable and have biodegradable additives to aid in their decomposition. We have made it our mission to provide clean packaging solutions and encourage all of our customers to engage in recycling and reuse programs.
