Jet Tec packaging

We pride ourselves in using the most environmentally friendly packaging possible.

Our packaging is manufactured from recycled plastic with the face card material coming from sustainable forestry. All toner boxes are made from recyclable card and all waste paper and card is returned for recycling. Over recent years we have also worked to considerably reduce the size of our blister packaging.

Since 2005, we have reduced the size of or blister packaging by nearly 50%.

We have also reduced the number of cartridge labels used by printing directly onto the cartridge.

All of Jet Tec’s products are manufactured in Lincolnshire, UK, which ensures a far smaller carbon footprint than those companies who import products from overseas.

Packaging design

Above is the smaller of the two sizes of blister packaging that Jet Tec produce, with explanations of all the elements. All Jet Tec packaging is made from a minimum of 50% reprocessed or recycled materials.

The 2 sizes are:
Small size: 94.5mm x 67.5mm
Large size: 94.5mm x 107.5mm

Artwork created for the new blister packaging has been simplified to help consumers identify the cartridge for their specific printer.

What do the numbers and text mean?

1. The amount of ExtraLife the cartridge is capable of producing, compared to an original equivalent cartridge.
2. The quick reference number for the cartridge with the end letter signifying the colour i.e. Y=Yellow. This is cross referenced with the original part number to assist in identification.
3. Full compatibility listing of the printers the cartridge can be used in.
4. Colour bar and capacity for the specific cartridge.
5. Image to help identify the correct group of cartridges for a specific printer model.
6. Individual product barcode and the Jet Tec part number reference.
7. Instructions for activating the ExtraLife (if appropriate to the product).
8. Intellectual property rights statement.
9. Web address information.
10. Installation instructions for the printer cartridge.
11. FSC Certification.
12. LGA Tested and verified logo certification (if appropriate to the product).
13. Awards and certification logos.
