Eco-Friendly Postal Packages

The Sendbag Concept Gives the Envelope an Extended Life

— July 11, 2012 — Eco
If only it was practical and socially acceptable to use postal parcels over and over as totes. Think about the implications for the environment! This Sendbag concept involves this very practice by revamping mail-ready wrappings to meet the aforementioned criteria.

The Multipack Sentra Perkasa design makes these flatpack satchels fetching to the eyes by applying printed graphics. Should this product be picked up by well-equipped companies, the recycled paper sleeves could be decorated with logos or personalized patterns. As they are here, the envelopes have lined labels at the top and bottom for inscribing the recipient and return address.

Once it's arrived at its destination, the Sendbag's superscribed top edge can be torn off. Inside, two paper handles can be folded out to turn the package into a reusable shopping bag.
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Packaging - Revamping mail-ready wrappings to be reused as totes to reduce waste and environmental impact.
2. Customizable Eco-friendly Packaging - Applying printed graphics and personalized patterns on recycled paper sleeves to create visually appealing and branded packages.
3. Reusable Shopping Bags - Designing postal parcels with integrated paper handles that can be folded out, transforming them into reusable shopping bags.
Industry Implications
1. E-commerce - Implementing sustainable packaging solutions for shipping and delivery to enhance customer experience and reduce environmental footprint.
2. Print and Graphic Design - Offering customizable printed graphics and personalized patterns on mail-ready wrappings to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly packaging.
3. Retail - Promoting the use of reusable shopping bags made from repurposed postal parcels, contributing to sustainability efforts and reducing reliance on single-use bags.
