Altura

Weavabel has worked with British brand Altura to develop more sustainable trims and packaging for their cycling products.

The rider is at the forefront of every product we produce, we don't produce products which aren't functional and aren't needed. Designed for the ride.

The Challenge

Weavabel’s partnership with Altura began in 2015, as they wanted to refresh their clothing branding. The brand was growing and needed a secure, high quality supply of branded trims for all their production locations that had a unified brand image.

Altura was also interested in becoming more sustainable, and since Weavabel had been exploring this, we were able to provide solutions for them, such as kraft paper and more.

The product

Kraft tickets

Adventure luggage, Road & Urban collection: Pale grey recycled uncoated board, printed with details of each collection.

Kraft sock packaging

Natural kraft board, printed in Altura branding.

Tempo underwear display box

Printed brown kraft FSC recycled uncoated board. Supplied flat packed to reduce shipping emissions.

Recycled polybag

Clear 70% recycled LDPE with D2W additive, printed in Altura branding.  Recyclable and biodegradable, with a grip seal closure.

The Solution

Weavabel helped Altura complete a full rebrand using more sustainable FSC kraft papers for their tickets and various paper packaging items. 

Kraft paper board can degrade naturally within a few weeks, decomposing like all wood-based materials.  Depending on the amount and type of finish (such as foils & spot UV) that is applied, it is also recyclable. It leaves little to no impact on the environment and can also be FSC Certified.  Altura’s polybag is made from 70% recycled LDPE with a D2W additive, making it biodegradable.
