Custom Branding
with Better Earth

At Better Earth, we believe in the power of design and invest in it. We are proud to have an in-house Creative Team that will guide you through your entire design journey, and can offer guidance on sustainability messaging or even develop custom artwork.
A majority of our custom print products are printed in-house at our Clarkston, GA facility. This means you get a hands-on, consultative process with lower minimums and lead times.
Elevate your food packaging to the next level with Better Earth Custom Branding. We utilize the most current technology in our industry—in fact, we are the only company directly printing on fiber packaging domestically in the USA. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to make custom branded food-safe, sustainable fiber packaging more accessible to everyone.

Why Better Earth Custom Branding?
Here’s what customized packaging can do for you:
Pique interest in and out of the restaurant.
Imagine this—your regulars can now visibly rep their favorite spot with pride at their next work lunch or takeout dinner.
Retain and grow your customer base through sustainable packaging.
Over half of today’s US consumers are extremely or very concerned about the environmental impact of packaging, and consumers can now filter restaurants based on whether or not they have sustainable packaging on today’s food delivery apps.
(Feber, Granskog, Lingqvuist, Nordigarden: McKinsey, 2020.)
Low lift and super easy for you.
Did you know that simply plating your food in sustainable to-go packaging can increase perceived food quality and experience with customers? A recent study found exactly that!
(Morrison: Food Navigator, 2016.)

End of Life Labeling
Why we do not recommend “recyclable” language on our compostable products
We are working with recyclers to test the recyclability of our products, but since food residue on packaging negates a products’ recyclability, we require adding the Commercially Compostable labeling to our printed products to match modern rigorous composting labeling standards for responsible End-of-Life disposal. With the above in mind, we strongly discourage incorporating the label “recyclable” to avoid any potential risk to your brand from the local recycler or customers being felt misled.
Certifications
Our fiber products meet ASTM D6400 standards for commercial compostability.
BPI Certified:
- Clarion Collection Clamshells & PLA Mineral Paper
- Hot & Cold Food Containers
- Hot Beverage Collection

Better Earth is a great partner to work with. The Creative Team’s branding exercises they had us walk through helped us to identify the values and image that our company wants to portray.

Custom Branding Checklist

Ready to Custom Brand with us?
Better Earth really goes above and beyond. Their complementary in-house custom print design services make the ordering process super easy! No one else offers design services like Better Earth where they work with customers on artwork and provide virtual samples for presentation and artwork approval. That alone helps us seal the deal much faster because most customers don’t have design resources readily available. We really love working with Better Earth because of this.
