Due to the current consumer behavior trends, this packaging envelope has been designed with a focus on environmental sustainability in every aspect. This includes reusability and the ability to transform the envelope into a shopping bag after its initial use. Every component of the envelope is biodegradable, helping to reduce plastic waste throughout the entire usage process, thus minimizing the long-term environmental impact. The design also enhances user experience by reducing the need for additional tools throughout the packing and shipping process. It is also highly portable, catering to the modern consumer who primarily relies on public transportation. Additionally, the envelope comes in various sizes, based on the standard dimensions of Thai postal envelopes, to accommodate a wide range of shipping needs.

Functions

Reuse

Reusable up to 3 times: This envelope can be reused up to three times. It features perforated lines and adhesive strips at different positions, allowing easy sealing for multiple uses without requiring additional materials.
Convert into a shopping bag: After three uses, the envelope can be easily transformed into a shopping bag by tearing along the pre-designed perforated lines, eliminating the need to discard it after use.

Product protection

Made from durable natural materials, the envelope is strong enough for repeated use and offers robust protection during transport. The interior bubble wrap, made from biodegradable materials, shields products from damage, reducing the need for conventional plastic cushioning
