A Manufacturing-First Approach to Sustainable Packaging
Sustainability at QPI starts on the production floor. Every sustainable packaging program balances economic value, structural performance and environmental responsibility. Our material-agnostic approach helps us choose packaging materials based on real-world use, retail requirements and lifecycle impact rather than forcing a single solution across all applications.
Sustainable Packaging Design for Retail Environments
QPI designs sustainable retail packaging built for shelf impact, secure handling and easy opening. Our team creates high-visibility structures to support brand recognition while reducing material use and simplifying pack-out.
Our sustainable packaging options include:
- Retail-ready clamshell packaging with recyclable materials
- Blister cards designed for visibility and durability
- Thermoformed packaging options built for high-volume production
- Paperboard packaging for brands seeking reduced plastic use
- Specialty packaging solutions tailored to unique retail requirements
Recyclable Materials and Reduced Plastic Content
QPI specializes in recyclable packaging solutions produced with reduced plastic content and recycled materials. RePaq, QPI’s flagship sustainable packaging solution, offers 100% recyclability with zero cross-contamination, making recycling easier across retail and distribution environments. By optimizing material selection and structural design, QPI reduces plastic usage while maintaining product protection and visual appeal.
Low-Impact Manufacturing Processes
We use streamlined manufacturing processes to decrease assembly time, limit material waste and improve production efficiency. Fewer components and simplified structures lead to faster packing and lower resource consumption. This approach supports sustainability goals while improving speed, consistency and cost control for retail packaging programs.

From concept through production, QPI collaborates closely with customers to develop packaging aligned with branding, logistics and environmental priorities. Scalable manufacturing capabilities support regional launches and nationwide retail distribution.
Material Optimization and Lifecycle Impact
QPI focuses on material optimization to reduce excess weight, limit plastic use and improve recyclability without compromising strength or performance. Lifecycle impact considerations extend across manufacturing, transportation, retail handling and end-of-life disposal.
Sustainability Compliance and Environmental Standards
Brands face increasing pressure to meet environmental expectations across retail and consumer markets. QPI supports sustainability compliance by designing packaging aligned with recycling standards, material transparency goals and brand sustainability reporting needs.
