Eco-friendly magazine packaging concept for Vogue Scandinavia

Vogue Scandinavia is disrupting the publishing industry in many ways. One of the unique features of Vogue Scandinavia is its sustainable packaging concept. There are two packaging versions: Normal Edition and the Collectors’ Item Limited Edition made from Ensocoat by Stora Enso. The package replaces the traditional single-use plastic wrapping used in magazines.

The magazine and packaging are carbon-neutral, made with a renewable, low-carbon raw material, and energy-efficient production. The remaining emissions are offset by using the CarbonZero service by Stora Enso, collaborating with compensation partner South Pole.

The innovative berry container comes in several sizes and can be used for many other products too. It replaces plastic packaging – even the integrated lid is made from a corrugated board. Half a million renewable berry containers can help cut out 4500 kilograms of fossil plastic. The packaging is cost-effective, easy to use, rigid, and effortless to flatten before recycling. Customer-specific images can be printed on the package to increase visibility and attractiveness.

Lighting track Multipack

The corrugated board packaging is optimized for transporting fragile products. It has innovative folding with corner protections. It helps streamline the packaging process, helps avoid plastics as plastic wrapping is not needed, and is very protective and reduces transportation damages. The packaging is user-friendly in packing and unpacking and simple to recycle.

The packaging process does not require any external tools and supports ergonomic work throughout the supply chain.
