Packaging Guides

Specific guide pages for buyers searching by packaging material, pack type, application, capacity, closure, label and shrink-film requirement.

Evidence-led guide library

Use the guides to document a specification, not to make an unsupported claim.

The strongest route is to identify the pack function, shortlist the existing catalogue owner page, test the complete pack and retain the evidence used for product, artwork and end-of-life decisions.

Evidence hierarchy

1. Exact item dataDrawing, material declaration, component specification, recycled-content statement and any relevant compliance document for the precise product reference.
2. Complete-pack testFit, seal, leak, torque, label adhesion, handling and line trials using the intended product and process.
3. Collection contextCurrent UK or nation-specific collection guidance for the finished pack and its removable components.
4. Claim recordApproved wording, evidence owner, date checked, artwork version and review trigger.
5. Commercial approvalConfirmed stock or production route, minimum order, lead time, delivery pattern and change-control requirement.

Current official references

The GOV.UK EPR collection links to current producer duties and recyclability-assessment guidance for the applicable reporting year. Recycle Now explains consumer recycling labels and resin codes, and the Simpler Recycling guidance sets out England-specific household collection changes. These sources can change and should be checked when claims are approved.

For machinery, bottle washing or a wider environmental-packaging strategy, use the relevant Lancing specialist domain rather than treating this material catalogue as the owner of every packaging intent: Lancing UK machinery and bottle washing systems.

Start with choosing recyclable packaging materials, then use the claim checklist and the relevant bottle, pouch, closure, label or film guide.
