Flexo-Quality Print on Recycled Board Spruces Up CBD Shipper

Spruce CBD uses a new print technology that prints fine lines and artwork on 100% recycled corrugated, without the time and cost associated with flexo printing, for its e-commerce shippers.

Using a proprietary printing process called Econoflex, custom box manufacturer Packlane is now supplying Spruce with shippers printed with fine lines and artwork on 100% recycled and recyclable corrugated material.

Online CBD purveyor Spruce CBD of Raleigh, N.C., was born after a year’s worth of research by founder and Principal Tony Spencer to locate the most efficacious strains of hemp. Says Spencer, the resulting products—a moderate and a maximum potency full-spectrum oil tincture and a full spectrum topical cream—contain American-made, high-quality, lab-grade CBD formulated “to provide real results to better people’s quality of life.”

The products’ high quality and effectiveness are reflected in their price: the 300-mg Topical CBD Cream in a 2-oz jar is $39, a 1-oz bottle of 750-mg CBD Oil Tincture is $89, and a 1-oz bottle of 2,400-mg Max Potency CBD Oil Tincture is $269 (prices are lower with a subscription). In early 2019, Spruce introduced a new shipper for its e-commerce products that artfully communicates the brand message and matches the quality of the items inside.

When they were first introduced, Spruce’s products were packaged in a plain Kraft corrugated box from a local supplier. “After just a month, we began looking for a higher-quality solution with a more appealing brand message,” says Spencer.
