TUFFED WEAR
NEW LIFE FOR PACKAGING
We at Tufte are happy to reuse! That clothes and things gain added value and can last a long time is a concept we like and encourage others to embrace. Here you can read about how we think about reuse when designing packaging.
SOCKS IN PENCIL
With reuse and added value in mind, we have created several packages that you do not need to throw straight into the bin after taking out the product. The idea is for the packaging to get a new lease of life.
We have designed a School Pack for children; four pairs of nice socks packed together in an organic cotton pencil case - a super practical gift for school children! Here, little feet can be kept warm, and pencils and crayons are kept in place. The pencil case is made of 100% organic cotton. If you already have a mini pencil case, it can be used to house the toothbrush on overnight visits or the eraser collection.
We also have a pencil case filled with four pairs of woolen socks , for cold days.
NICE GIFT BOXES
The rest of our gift boxes are made in handsome boxes with lids - these are nice and robust, and are perfect for storing things and tools. The stickers on the boxes are designed so that you can easily peel it off without damaging the box, then put on a bow and the gift is ready to be given away.
After use, the boxes can become a garage for the toy cars, a box for colored pencils, a box for pictures or perhaps it can be used to store nails and screws.
There are many possibilities for giving the boxes a further life. We have ourselves been to our factories in China and seen how the factory workers have used our boxes to store needles, thread and other sewing items and small items. It saves the planet from a lot of noise and unnecessary rubbish, and that makes us happy.
PAJAMAS
Our pajama packs are made from recycled polyester that has been assembled into nice packs, or "sleeves" for our pyjamas. This sleeve can be used to store documents, photos, magazines, newspapers, drawings, stickers or other treasures that need a place to live.
Coincidentally, there is also just enough space for a laptop in the women's and men's pack, and an iPad or tablet in the children's pack.
RECYCLABLE CARDBOARD
As for the rest of our packaging, these are made from 100% recyclable cardboard, without a single piece of plastic. There is minimal glue in the packages, most are only painstakingly folded.
In 2017, we made this permanent change from plastic packaging to cardboard, which contributes to less production and use of plastic, and which also reduces the risk of plastic ending up in nature.
