Nexgen Packaging, a global leader in sustainable<\/a> brand identification and packaging products, and Seaman Paper, a leading international manufacturer of environmentally sustainable packaging solutions, announced that the two companies are partnering to expand the global reach of their sustainable product offerings.<\/p>\n As brands seek sustainable alternatives to plastic in their collections, that focus extends to hanging and packaging solutions. Some 180 billion polybags are produced annually to protect apparel, footwear and accessories during transport and storage. According to Fashion for Good, less than 15% of poly bags are recycled.<\/p>\n Nexgen Packaging and Seaman Paper are dedicated to reducing the fashion and footwear industries\u2019 reliance on single-use plastic. In 2023, Nexgen Packaging was awarded \u201cDesign Team of the Year\u201d by UK Packaging for its work with Primark on developing a catalog of paper fiberboard hangers. Seaman Paper offers a wide range of fiber-based<\/a> packaging alternatives to single-use plastics. Their Vela line, recently honored with the \u201cInnovation in Sustainability Award\u201d by the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) as part of its 2023 Better Practices, Better Planet Sustainability Awards program, is an FSC\u00ae certified recyclable solution and is in use with hundreds of brands across the globe.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Seaman Paper to bring their innovative offerings \u2013 including the Vela product line \u2013 to more brands and manufacturers globally,\u201d said Kevin DeSpain, Senior Vice President of Global Sales for Nexgen Packaging. \u201cThis collaboration aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability in our industry and providing our customers with transparency and scale in their supply chain<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re excited to partner with Nexgen,\u201d said Dave Deger, Chief Strategy and Commercial Officer at Seaman. \u201cBy combining Nexgen\u2019s extensive supply chain capabilities and diverse product range with our innovative Vela solutions and robust global manufacturing network, we\u2019re uniquely positioned to help brands accelerate their sustainability goals and elevate their packaging strategies worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n For more information about the partnership and the new sustainable packaging solutions, please visit www.nexgenpackaging.com<\/a> and www.vela.eco<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nKey Highlights of the Partnership:<\/h4>\n
