Smurfit Kappa’s packaging features a ‘striking’ design and clean lines. It also aims to improve RareBoots4u’s sustainability credentials by reducing the company’s material usage.
In addition, the new RareBoots4u box is recyclable, renewable and biodegradable.
Smurfit Kappa UK & Ireland CEO Eddie Fellows said: “This has been an exciting project for us to work on and, together with RareBoots4u, we have been able to develop a 100% paper-based packaging solution that reduces their carbon footprint and works hand-in-hand with their social media strategy.

The company’s eShoe box offers a dual-purpose solution for both retail and online sales.
Created by Jake Self and Cam Sangster, RareBoots4U offers classic boots that are no longer available to buy in stores.
The company supplies to several high-profile footballers worldwide, including Karim Benzema, Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount.
Sangster said: “It has been an absolute pleasure working with Smurfit Kappa in developing sustainable packaging for our wide selection of boots.”
Self described Smurfit Kappa’s design as ‘incredibly unique’ and noted that RareBoots4U had had an ‘excellent’ response to it from customers.
In February this year, Smurfit Kappa partnered with UK-based recipe box company Mindful Chef to develop a fully recyclable recipe box.
The packaging features corrugated cardboard insulation packs that emit 30% less carbon dioxide than the insulation of Mindful Chef’s previous recipe boxes.
