Sustainable shipping packaging for Snocks

SNOCKS goes Green. THIMM produces sustainable packaging made from grass corrugated cardboard for the company SNOCKS (www.snocks.de) for the secure transportation of socks and boxer shorts. What makes the sustainable shipping packaging unique is the integrated security lock made from corrugated cardboard along with the communications potential between customer and brand.

Regarding the cooperation with THIMM, Moritz Tjard Kübler, Head of Sustainability and CSR, says: "The cooperation with Thimm was promising from the beginning. Thanks to a very committed and friendly team, communication and cooperation with Thimm is a great pleasure. We were looking for a sustainable and innovative alternative for our shipping packaging and could hardly have found a better one. The grass corrugated board packaging with integrated safety closure is not only environmentally friendly, but also offers a huge potential for communication with our customers".

An important value-add of the sustainable shipping packaging is the functional security lock made from grass corrugated cardboard which enables the packaging to be sealed without adhesives. No additional external packaging materials are required for the sustainable shipping packaging which in turn helps preserve the environment. The integrated security lock made from corrugated cardboard protects the merchandise against unauthorised access during transportation and indicates the original condition of the delivery to the recipient. The tamper-proof lock enables the recipient to immediately see that his/her order is intact at the time of delivery, since the sustainable shipping packaging cannot be opened without being destroyed.

The sustainable shipping packaging not only offers unique features in relation to raw materials and technical functionality, but also for customer communications. Through the printed QR Code Snocks creates a link to a website which specifies the sustainability aspects of the shipping packaging and the importance of “green thinking”. This feature enables Snocks to quickly and easily provide its recipients with extra information and also takes advantage of the sustainable shipping packaging to create further interaction between the target group and the brand. To sum up, the sustainable shipping packaging acts as an effective and active brand ambassador.
