About
Diamond Greenbox Initiative
Diamond’s practices are green by nature. We design and manufacture packaging with sustainability in mind. The three components of Diamond’s greenbox initiative are:
- Designs - Our process incorporates tools that review existing designs in an effort to refine and make your packaging better and greener. This includes Wal-Mart’s Package Modeling software, COMPASS (Comparative Packaging Assessment), and ArtiosCAD for structural design.
- Materials - Diamond carefully evaluates all materials and suppliers in an effort to make the best recommendation for your product. Our suppliers include Clearwater Paper, a paperboard supplier which has earned Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification and is recognized by The Rainforest Alliance, a nonprofit international conservation organization, for integrating environmental and social sustainability into their work.
- Methods - From concept to completion, our approach to package design addresses sustainability throughout the supply chain. This includes incorporating best practices at the plant level, such as waste recycling, energy efficiency, and process improvements.
Green Chic™ — “Beauty Without Compromise”
Diamond recently introduced its new Green Chic™ packaging, a significant advance in the field of sustainable packaging design. Upscale or luxury brands can now support environmental concerns without sacrificing identity.
As a natural evolution of Diamond's greenbox initiative, the company is applying its tradition of innovation to green packaging design. Diamond's new Green Chic™ packaging delivers “Beauty without Compromise” by capturing the essence of luxury brands through more sustainable converting methods.
Green Chic™ incorporates multiple technologies, all applied inline:
- TruCOLOR™ expanded color gamut (ECG)
- Specialty coatings
- Effects and decorations (e.g., MiraFoil™ metallic coating, Cast and Cure holographic effects)
Diamond's new “Four Seasons” carton series demonstrates these technologies in beauty-inspired packaging representing each of the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter). All of the samples were created utilizing its unique Synergy (tapered tuck and seal end) structure.
