Hero Packaging (often referred to as HeroPack) is a pioneering company in the field of sustainable e-commerce packaging, dedicated to eliminating single-use plastic packaging globally.
What HeroPack Does
HeroPack specializes in producing home-compostable shipping mailers designed to replace traditional plastic packaging. These mailers are part of the company’s mission to reduce plastic waste and mitigate environmental harm associated with conventional packaging materials.Key Features
Compostable Materials
HeroPack mailers are made from a blend of 70-80% PBAT (a compostable co-polymer) and 20-30% PLA (cornstarch), ensuring they are 100% home-compostable. These materials break down within 90-120 days in home composting conditions, a significant improvement over traditional plastic mailers which take around 400 years to biodegrade.Design and Customization
The mailers come in 9 different colors and 7 sizes, allowing businesses to choose packaging that aligns with their brand. The colors were co-created and voted on by customers, making the packaging not only eco-friendly but also visually appealing and “Instagrammable”.Durability and Functionality
Despite being compostable, HeroPack mailers are waterproof, tough, and equipped with a double adhesive strip, enabling them to be reused. They have a high weight load rating and can withstand the rigors of shipping.Environmental Impact
HeroPack’s products are designed to encourage home composting, reducing the amount of packaging that ends up in landfills where it contributes to methane production. By using these mailers, businesses and consumers can significantly reduce their environmental footprint.Additional Products and Services
In addition to the flagship HeroPack mailers, Hero Packaging offers custom branding options, compostable labels, and thermal printers. This comprehensive approach aims to cover all the sustainable packaging needs of e-commerce brands.Functionality
