At Pinnpoint, sustainability isn't a separate initiative bolted onto the product. It is a consequence of the way the A5 Print & Ship label works. By merging the shipping label and the packing slip into a single duplex-printed document, the label removes materials from the packing bench rather than adding them.

Less paper, printed once

A traditional dispatch process prints a shipping label and a separate packing slip, often on two different devices. The A5 Print & Ship label combines both onto one sheet, imaged in a single pass on a standard duplex laser printer. One document replaces two, which means fewer sheets consumed for every parcel that leaves the building.

The papers we use are FSC-certified, so the fibre is traceable to responsibly managed forests. Responsible sourcing and using less of it are, to our mind, the same conversation.

Removing the single-use plastic pouch

Because the packing slip is printed onto the back of the shipping label, there is no longer a loose sheet to protect. That does away with the adhesive plastic document wallet — the clear pouch stuck to the outside of millions of parcels every day. It is a small item per box, but across a year of shipments the plastic saved adds up quickly.

  • One duplex document in place of a separate label and slip
  • FSC-certified papers, responsibly sourced
  • No single-use plastic document pouch
  • Fewer devices and consumables at the packing bench

A tree for every box

To go a step further, Pinnpoint partners with One Tree Planted. For boxes shipped using the Print & Ship solution, we fund the planting of a tree — a straightforward way to give something back for the parcels that go out.

Sustainable shipping doesn't have to mean doing more. Often it means doing less — fewer sheets, fewer materials, fewer steps.

The result is a dispatch process that is faster for the team and lighter on materials at the same time. For shippers looking to reduce waste without slowing down, that combination is the point.
