Sustainability

It's in our nature.

What your product packaging is made of and where it's sourced matter. Go green with Oliver.

We actively fulfill our environmental responsibilities by investing in alternative energy sources and energy-efficient equipment to lower our carbon impact, and we've earned environmental certifications from internationally recognized organizations.

A commitment to sustainability

What does sustainable packaging mean to us? We define it as packaging that achieves its intended role while minimizing resource requirements, using only responsibly sourced materials, and maximizing opportunities for recovery, recycling, or reuse.

Oliver’s green options include:

  • Responsibly sourced recycled substrates 
  • Vegetable oil-based inks and water-based coatings
  • Prop 65 compliant UV inks and coatings
  • Cellulose acetate window material for folding cartons that's certified as 100-percent compostable and petroleum-free
  • Direct transfer metalized paperboard that eliminates the plastic film, so it's easily recycled with other printed papers
  • Digital proofing and 3D visualizations to reduce paper-use and save time
