Better Packaging has a revolutionary system making it simple for a brand's manufacturers to source and package garments in Better Poly bags from point of manufacture. Better Packaging’s proprietary 'Direct to Manufacturer' service is utilised by brands such as PE Nation, Cue and Veronica Maine, Bisley Workwear and many more to ensure that their packaging footprint is minimised.
BPCo's Direct to Manufacturer Service
-
- Poly bags are produced in Asia from POLLAST!C (certified, recycled Ocean Bound Plastic) or compostable materials according to a brand's requirements (size, branding etc) and warehoused locally.
- The brand's manufacturers are able to log into BPCo’s proprietary portal and order stock as required.
- Depending on arrangements, either the manufacturer will pay for their order (at pre-negotiated prices) in local currency or the brand can be invoiced.
- Poly Bag order is dispatched and delivered quickly to manufacturer.
Optional: BPCo can manage stock levels for the brand based on a pre-agreed minimum and maximum inventory holding
The Poly Bag Problem
Transparent poly bags are ubiquitous in the apparel industry and for good reason. Polybags serve an important purpose protecting the clothing inside. As Patagonia has previously stated, “If we eliminated the use of polybags, garments would be damaged... A damaged product that is unwearable has a far greater environmental cost than manufacturing a polybag.”
Better Packaging is here to make it as easy as possible for fashion and apparel brands to minimise their negative impact on the environment.
Historically, poly bags have been tricky to replace with a Better alternative because apparel manufacturing will often take place in Asia and the manufacturer is usually responsible for sourcing them locally. That's why we've made it super-easy for your manufacturers/suppliers to order Better packaging on your behalf.
