By switching to Signet’s eco-friendly eCommerce packaging, Aussie chemical-free skin care company Skin Friend sees zero damages in transit and eliminates 99% of plastic from their supply chain.
Founded in 2012 by nutritionist Karen Fischer, Skin Friend has become a leading provider of supplements and skincare for individuals with dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin in Australia. When Karen’s daughter developed eczema as a child, she couldn’t find any products in the market that worked with her sensitive skin, so she made the decision to develop the products herself to great success.
Because Skin Friend innovatively manufactures their own exclusive products, it attracts customers from around the globe who want to explore and shop Skin Friend’s unique product selection.
“We have a huge customer base overseas, mainly in the USA and Europe, so a majority of our orders are sent overseas. Because of this, our packaging has to be very sturdy and secure to handle the international shipping.” – Karen Fischer, Owner & Founder
Following a successful Google search, Karen found Signet’s eco-friendly packaging range, which aligned perfectly with the company’s desire to further their sustainability efforts. While Skin Friend’s primary focus is on the wellbeing of its customers’ skin, they also prioritise the health of the planet by using packaging that doesn’t cost the earth.
Karen and her team made the switch from plastic packaging materials over to Signet’s greener alternatives, including Shipping Cartons, Mailing Boxes and Tissue Paper for the 400+ orders they send out per month. They found that making their packaging as sustainable as possible has also helped with the aesthetics of their unboxing experience.
“Our skincare’s primary packaging is biodegradable and recyclable, so with the outer packaging also being mostly eco-friendly, we’ve reduced our plastic usage by 99%. We’ve also been able to eliminate damages in transit by using the cartons and have saved so much time by getting all our packaging from Signet”
The items in each Skin Friend order are initially wrapped in Signet’s Tissue Paper, packed into a Signet Shipping Carton or Mailing Box and then Tissue Paper is used as a complementary void fill to fill any empty space left over in the box.
Signet’s Tissue Paper is an acid-free 17gsm paper that adds a final touch to merchandise packaging and is available in 6 different colours to suit all packaging options. Signet’s Shipping Cartons are made using 100% recyclable materials to create strong and durable cardboard whilst also being fully recyclable.
