Labels

Away That Day mailer

For Away That Day, we created custom mailer bags using 130 GSM FSC mix kraft paper. These die-cut bags, with peel-and-seal strips and a tear-open perforation, offer a sustainable and secure e-commerce packaging solution for its sportswear.

Featuring a grip seal fastening and a slightly frosted finish, these bags ensure product protection while meeting sustainability goals.

Altura rebrand packaging

We supported Altura's rebranding by supplying naturally degradable and recyclable FSC kraft papers for its luggage tickets, alongside 70% recycled LDPE poly bags. This enhanced the branding while aligning with environmental commitments.

Garment bags

COPA heat transfers

Together with COPA, we created raised silicone heat transfers that are flexible and resistant to wear. These transfers are ideal for sportswear garments, ensuring comfortable, durable branding that moves flexibly with the wearer during activity.

Specialised trims and packaging for swimwear

Swimwear branding requires visual appeal and resilience to chlorine, saltwater and UV. Our trims keep their integrity and aesthetic through every aquatic challenge, and our swimwear packaging protects each piece from moisture in transit.

We rigorously test our swimwear garment trims to ensure colour vibrancy and performance hold up in each individual piece. Our solutions ensure your swimwear stands out with beautiful, durable branding, reflecting true quality.

Zip lock poly bags

Durable, resealable zip lock poly bags designed to protect swimwear from moisture and wear during transit and retail. These are crafted from resistant materials to maintain product integrity even in damp environments.

Garment bags

CPE

Offering clarity and robust protection, CPE (chlorinated polyethylene) materials are ideal for swimwear packaging. These films provide excellent moisture resistance and a high-quality finish, ensuring your products are well-presented.

Garment bags

TPU care labels

Highly flexible and durable TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane) care labels are specifically designed for swimwear. They offer superior resistance to chlorine, saltwater and UV, ensuring care instructions remain legible and non-irritating against skin.

Care labels

Swing tickets

Visually appealing tickets made from innovative materials that withstand moisture, perfect for displaying product information and brand luxury on swimwear, even in humid retail environments.

Swing tags

Heat transfers

Seamless and non-irritating heat transfers are ideal for direct application onto swimwear fabrics. These provide comfortable branding that maintains garment integrity and won't chafe or fade from pool chemicals or sun exposure.
