Outfittery is focussing on greater sustainability in e-commerce and uses reusable packaging from Thimm. The robust corrugated cardboard packaging has been specially developed for reuse. Customised, digitally printed QR codes ensure clear identification and also enable precise tracking.
Outfittery offers personalised fashion advice for women and men: stylists put together complete outfits based on customers' personal preferences and sizes. Customers then have the flexibility to decide which items they would like to keep. Often only individual parts are returned. To make these returns more sustainable, Outfittery will also be using the new reusable corrugated cardboard packaging in future.
To this end, the existing range of packaging was further developed by Thimm and tested in extensive shipping tests, so that the packaging can withstand several cycles - depending on the transport conditions and handling by customers. For each planned reusable cycle, up to 400 tonnes of CO2e can be saved across the entire portfolio compared to disposable packaging. Returns processing remains efficientThe packaging can be easily checked for functionality and cleanliness when the returned fashion is unpacked.
As a reusable material, corrugated board is in particularly high demand in times of increasing sustainability requirements. In Combination with digital printing it reaches its full potential: Each Outfittery box is labelled with a unique QR code, which enables precise identification. This means that the use of reusable packaging can be tracked transparently and the process made measurable. Thanks to QR codes, there is no need for additional inserts or labels, as all parties involved - from the shipping service provider to the consumer - can be identified. can easily read the codes via apps.
Outfittery uses the new hinged lid boxes in five different sizes one. They consist of Corrugated board made from recycled paper in B or BE flute. The packaging in the shape of a suitcase has an integrated carrying handle and combines functionality and high-quality design in equal measure. Their design allows convenient and easy access to the clothing. Furthermore No additional sealing material required, which makes the packaging even more sustainable. To ensure the safety of the consignments, Outfittery provides the boxes with a small originality label. At the end of their life cycles, the packaging can be returned to the material cycle and fully recycled.
