As sustainability reshapes global packaging standards, one critical—but often overlooked—component in the supply chain is ink.
For packaging manufacturers and fulfillment operations, sustainability goals often focus on materials: recyclable corrugate, compostable mailers, reduced plastic. But the printing process itself, especially the cartridges and inks used in direct marking and product coding, can significantly impact a brand’s environmental footprint.
If your current ink supplier doesn’t offer a cartridge recycling program, you may be generating unnecessary waste and increasing your carbon footprint.
DoorStepInk is addressing this challenge head-on with a line of U.S. manufactured thermal inkjet (TIJ) cartridges, designed for high-speed, single-pass printing on porous substrates like kraft boxes, mailers, and uncoated labels.
After use, DoorStepInk collects and remanufactures these cartridges, closing the loop on bulk ink usage. Each cartridge goes through a rigorous process: inspection, cleaning, refilling, and print testing to ensure quality, consistency, and OEM-level performance.
Why Sustainable Print Solutions Matter
The rise of the circular packaging economy demands more than recyclable substrates. It also requires:
- Minimizing single-use consumables
- Reducing landfill waste from spent cartridges
- Lowering the carbon footprint of logistics and production
- Eliminating excess inventory waste through variable data printing (VDP)
By choosing U.S. remanufactured HP 45-compatible TIJ cartridges, operations can reduce cost and waste while maintaining the print quality, speed, and reliability their customers expect.
Engineered for Performance. Built for Sustainability.
DoorStepInk cartridges are:
- Precision-tested for industrial printing systems, including those running HP and Kao Collins inkjet technologies
- Optimized for porous media, with fast-dry, high-contrast formulations that resist smudging and fading
- Remanufactured in the U.S., using reclaimed cores and sustainable production methods in our California facility
This enables high-volume operations to meet ESG goals without compromising on quality or uptime.
Applications That Deliver Value
Our remanufactured cartridges are ideal for:
- Corrugated packaging and box coding
- E-commerce fulfillment lines
- Variable data printing (QR codes, lot numbers, addresses)
- Custom branded uncoated substrates
Combined with it’s custom ink formulations, including MICR, UV, pigment, dye, and hybrid options, DoorStepInk empowers your operation to align print capabilities with circular design principles.
Leading With Impact
At a time when regulations and consumer expectations are rising, every part of the packaging process is under scrutiny. Your ink choice shouldn’t be the weak link in your sustainability strategy.
DoorStepInk’s U.S. manufactured thermal inkjet cartridges provide a measurable path toward greener packaging, lower operational costs, and reliable, high-performance output.
