Signet's eco-friendly protective packaging solution help 99 Bikes eliminate 99% of plastic packaging and reduce their packaging costs by 60% and packing time by 50%.
Impressing cyclists since 2007, 99 Bikes began as a singular store located in Brisbane’s CBD. Getting its name from their ability to hold exactly 99 bikes, they have grown to be the largest bike retailer in Australia. Striving to be the world’s most approachable bike shops, 99 Bikes staff are passionate about helping you on every step of your bike journey.
Since the beginning, the team at 99 Bikes have always strived to use their packaging as an opportunity to express their brand, provide excellent customer unboxing experience and work toward a sustainable future.
“As an online retailer, what the customer sees when they open their box is just as important as the product itself.” — Tom Dodd, eCommerce Manager
Signet initially provided 99 Bikes custom red Mailing Satchels. This was an obvious solution to help them stand out from the crowd and reinforce the iconic logo to both new and loyal customers.
As business grew to now shipping over 5000 orders per month, the team looked to revamp their protective packaging solution to better align with their sustainability goals.
“Our previous packaging solution wasn’t very time effective; it was also quite costly and not very good for the environment.” — Jacob Burton, Brisbane Warehouse Manager.
Signet was able to help 99 Bikes on their sustainability journey by introducing our eco-friendly packaging range.
“The simple yet effective product presentation, protective capabilities, and eco-friendly qualities this solution offered was all the convincing we needed.” —Tom Dodd, eCommerce Manager.
99 Bikes now wrap their fragile items in Geami, place them in a Signet Shipping Box, void fill with Fillpak and seal the carton with Water Activated Tape. The combined use of these products in their supply chain has resulted in cost, time, and plastic savings.
“Since switching to Signet’s solution, we’ve eliminated 99% of plastic packaging, seen a 50% reduction in packaging time and a 60% reduction in packaging costs.” — Jacob Burton, Brisbane Warehouse Team Leader
99 Bikes are driven by understanding and improving customer perspective, including how their products are presented. By partnering with Signet, they have been able to achieve this by implementing a sustainable and innovative packaging solution.
