Description: Challenged with creating decorative, sustainable packaging that protects flowers through a rigorous shipment process from Colombia, South America, to retailers across the United States, PPC Flexible Packaging collaborated with the Queens Flower group to develop a decorative biodegradable sleeve. Made with BioSphere’s Plastic, this packaging contains a unique additive that rapidly enhances the ability of the plastic to biodegrade in anaerobic and aerobic environments, representing a major advance in low-impact packaging. The unique floral sleeve is designed to enhance the flowers’ natural beauty using a neutral kraft color and burlap texture.
