After receiving damages in transit, skincare specialists, Bare Roots, made the switch to Signet eco-friendly range and eliminated transit damages while shipping 100% sustainably.
Dermal Therapist, Suzanne Smedley, realised there was a significant gap in the beauty industry for high-quality, organic skin care. Driven by her own passion for authentic, natural skincare, the idea for Bare Roots was born and bloomed. Selling COSMOS certified organic skincare products to esteemed businesses such as skin clinics, salons, and spas; Bare Roots have become a leading Australian wholesale skincare brand and has been making waves in the Aussie market since inception.
From the get-go, sustainability has always been a core value for Bare Roots. With that in mind, it makes sense that an essential part of the supply chain process was to use, where possible, recyclable packaging. Initially, this meant using repurposed shipping cartons, and kraft paper tape. However, Suzanne and the team quickly discovered that the lack of packaging protection was causing damage to their products during transit, and the tape was not as efficient or effective as needed.
On the hunt for a better solution, Suzanne stumbled across Signet’s website, and was drawn to the large range of Sustainable eCommerce Packaging, competitive pricing and fast shipping. Trialling out our Water Activated Tape (WAT) to begin with, the brand now uses a variety of Signet’s Eco-friendly Packaging.
“We were always on the lookout for the most cost-effective and eco-conscious way we could send our orders out. Signet has been great as it has such a wide variety of packaging solutions available in the sustainable space. So, it was a no-brainer for us to utilise your products.”— Suzanne Smedley, Founder of Bare Roots.
Bare Roots now place their products into a Signet Shipping Carton, void fill with Geami Kraft Honeycomb Paper, and seal with WAT. All these items are part of Signet’s Eco-friendly eCommerce Range, and the combined use allows for the brand to ship their products sustainably, and with peace of mind knowing their orders will arrive in the same condition as they left their warehouse.
“We never get any damage to our products. In fact, if we ever do the product itself it unaffected. So, the packaging itself works wonders in being able to absorb any potential transit damage.”
Signet’s Shipping Cartons are 100% recyclable, made from recycled materials, and come in a large range of sizes to suit any type of product. Signet’s Geami Kraft Honeycomb Paper is the ultimate eco-friendly alternative to bubble wrap — being recyclable, renewable and biodegradable. Plus, it provides great protection for even the most fragile of items during transit. WAT is a 100% biodegradable and recyclable packaging tape that provides a superior seal, and you don’t even have to remove it from your cartons before recycling.
Bare Roots have also noted that by switching to WAT, when used with the Manual Dispenser, they have saved a significant amount of time and costs due to the simple and easy application.
“We have seen cost savings, time savings and efficiency increases. We just place the WAT into the dispenser and the process is super easy. It’s strong, effective and an absolute game changer— every warehouse should be using the tape, I love it so much.”
