Manufactured commercially in the late 19th century, it is now found at fairs, entertainment places, homes and is a staple in movie theatres. Some people go to watch the movies simply to ease themselves in the air-conditioned environment, enjoy a few kernels and head back home. It gives them a chance to unwind and relax, albeit for a little while. Popcorns are also made at home by most for a light and low-calorie meal. When going to movie theatres, one finds themselves surrounded by a hundred and one popcorn buckets. These boxes can be customized by a packaging company for either the cinema or as per the movie enterprise. The following are the types of Custom Popcorn Boxes found in movie theatres, in fairs and carnivals, sports events etcetera.

The standard round: These popcorn boxes are round in shape and cylindrical. The bottom of these boxes is narrow but the circumference of the box increases as the top is reached. This makes for ease of access for the consumer to put their hand in and pick the popcorn. The sizes of the boxes vary, and are available in small, medium and large. The largest bucket has the same circumference from top to bottom, which means it can store the maximum amount of popcorns. Round popcorn packaging can be customized as per the demands that one might have i.e. printing, size, material and looks wise. These boxes are one of the most widely used ones all over the world

Four sided boxes: Four sided boxes are on the same level when it comes to usage of boxes that package popcorn.

Four sided boxes too are fully printable and customizable. Depending on the place the popcorns are being retailed, the packaging is designed accordingly. In movie theatres they will have the information about the cinema printed for branding and marketing or visuals, stills and graphics from the most popular or hyped movie onscreen currently.

Scalloped edges: A basic technique to add aesthetics and good looks to boxes that package popcorn are scalloped edges. These edges can be added to the round boxes or the four-sided ones.

How Green Custom Boxes Can Help You Reach More People

In today’s world, everyone is aware of the adverse effects of using cheap plastic packaging. Where plastic proves to keep products secure and is durable, its harmful effects on the planet can simply not be overlooked. While there is not much in the power of manufacturers, businesses and consumers to do anything about countering the damage plastic and industrialisation have inflicted on the planet, the next best thing to be done is damage control. One can start by eliminating the use of plastics and move onto using Custom Boxes which are made with eco-friendly and biodegradable materials. 

Unaware of such boxes? Well, they do exist, are quite popular and not the most expensive either. Eco-friendly boxes are known as kraft boxes and are made with completely biodegradable materials. These boxes are brown in colour, sometimes a little coarse to touch and the greenest material available in the market to package your products in. Kraft material is also available in white, which is the preferred choice for retailers who wish to have precise printing and true to life colours on their packaging. However, brown kraft despite being exceedingly eco-friendly is not the best option when it comes to printing. Because the essential canvas for inks is brown, colours usually do not show up as expected. White kraft boxes on the other hand, portray much clearer printing and vivid inks. For manufacturing white kraft boxes, brown kraft is bleached and made to go through other processes, which in result have somewhat of an adverse effect on the environment. 

Wondering how green packaging can help not only the earth but your company as well? Read on below to find out. 

Green consumers: While companies in themselves might be looking to go green, consumers on the other hand, are making educated, informed decisions of consuming green products as well.

The specific lot: There are those people in the UK as well who specifically lookout for green brands and only make their purchases from them. These environmentally conscious people are well aware of the detrimental effects of single use plastics on the planet and explicitly make use of green custom packaging and products. The number for environmentally conscious people is on the rise and if you are a retailer, it would be best to jump the green packaging bandwagon sooner than later. 

Less cost: Lastly, because green packaging is made from raw materials and goes through minimum purifying processes, it is fairly cheap to avail.
