Packed without plastic:
paper bag, band, loop pin
The film bag around the slipper is the first piece of plastic a guest holds in the room. The Green range replaces it with paper, tape and pin. This guide shows the four packagings, what each is for and what it changes in operation.
Four packagings, one principle
Every pair is packed individually so that the guest receives an untouched pair. How much material that takes depends on whether the pair goes into the wardrobe or onto the lounger.
Paper bag
- Tears open without scissors
- Lies flat in the wardrobe
- Goes into the waste paper
- Printable with the property's logo
Paper band
- Holds the pair together visibly
- Less material than a bag
- The pairs lie flat in the case
- Removed with one movement
Loop pin and flax tape
- Loop pin: Cork Sandal, Cork Pool Sandal, Sandal Bamboo
- Flax tape: Corteccia Sandal
- The smallest fastener there is
- Undone without anything tearing
What the packaging changes in operation
A different wrapping is also a different movement of the hand. Four places where housekeeping notices the difference.
On the trolley
Paper bags lie flat and stack cleanly, they do not slide like film. A case of Pinar with 250 pairs fills one compartment of the trolley, the layers from the case remain as separators.
In the wardrobe
Without a crease the paper bag looks placed, not thrown. Whoever puts the pair on the pillow or the foot mat puts it with the printed side up.
In the room's waste
The paper bag goes into the waste paper, band and flax tape likewise. The loop pin is a small plastic part and belongs in the residual waste. That is stated on the item.
When counting
Band and pin leave the pair visible, housekeeping sees colour and shape at a glance. With the paper bag the model is stated on the case, not on the bag.
Without inner film: The pairs lie in layers in the case, without film around each layer. The case itself is the outer packaging, it goes into the waste paper after unpacking.
The bag as a business card
The paper bag is the first surface on which the guest reads the name of the property, before seeing the slipper.
What can be printed
The paper bag of the room models takes a single-colour print: logo, lettering or pictogram. The band of the spa models likewise. The minimum quantity for it differs by model and is stated on the item under personalisation.
The process
Send the logo, approve the artwork, approve the photo of the first sample, then the production run starts. The lead time arises in the two approvals, not in production.
Bag or slipper
A logo on the bag goes into the waste with the bag, a logo on the slipper goes home with the guest. Both work, both have their purpose. For properties that see the slipper as a keepsake, the logo on the upper is the way, for properties that want to show the room in order, the printed bag.
All models with their packaging and the pieces per case are on the page Green Slippers for Hotel and Spa.
Frequently asked questions about packaging
What purchasing and housekeeping ask about the wrapping.
Look at a sample pair in its bag?
You receive room models in the paper bag and spa models with band, then you see how it looks in the wardrobe and on the lounger.
