Promoting ‘Boxes Have 7 Lives’ Through Recycling Mark

Published June 2025

Accurate Box Company, a women-owned company and leader in litho-laminated corrugated packaging, is proud to promote the “This box has up to 7 lives” mark on its boxes. This is an effort to increase recycling rates by engaging consumers at the moment they receive their packages.

Let’s face the facts: every day, millions of people have boxes filled with snacks, cleaning supplies, clothes, etc. delivered across America — but what happens to the boxes after that? Unfortunately, research shows that nearly two out of three consumers admit they don’t always recycle their boxes.

By adding a simple, eye-catching message right on the box, consumers are encouraged to empty, flatten, and recycle it the right way. Studies show that when a clear recycling message is present, 75% of consumers are more likely to take action.

As a company committed to sustainability, Accurate Box sees this mark as a meaningful way to support environmental initiatives while reminding people that small actions, like recycling a single box, can contribute to a healthier planet.

The 7 Lives mark is available to Accurate Box customers looking to highlight their commitment to sustainability and responsible recycling. It is simple, easy to follow, and designed to connect with today’s eco-conscious consumers.

By promoting this message, Accurate Box builds on its long-standing commitment to producing 100% recyclable packaging and utilizing high-speed production built for efficiency and waste reduction. It’s one more way Accurate Box helps its customers do more with their packaging.
