ARTIST cases: eco-friendly boxes

A beautiful product comes in a beautiful package. The artistic label of Prêt-à-Porter Femme wanted its packaging to be like gifts that trigger emotions.

Each garment is carefully wrapped in tissue paper inside its custom box, reflecting each piece of art, renewed with every collection.

ARTIST has established a ritual around their Art-à-Porter: the art of attention! Receiving the co-produced order in a beautifully packaged parcel rewards the wait.

In line with its corporate values, the brand has its aesthetic and reusable boxes manufactured while taking all possible precautions for the planet.

In the face of climate challenges, ARTIST is trying to reduce its environmental footprint through manufacturing and sourcing processes, and is committed.

 Specifically, this translates to the choice of recycled cardboard, printed with water-based inks. No more plastic and tape.

"It is a French packaging company located in the Jura that has been selected. It has managed to reinvent itself and comply with environmental standards as technological advancements have progressed. Today, spread across 3 national sites, it relies on 130 employees and produces, among other things, on a unique press in France, odorless. This company purchases raw materials, produces, prints, cuts, and guarantees its manufacturing processes in accordance with the requirements of its certifications."

ARTIST has developed their box, formalized a specifications document to achieve the best compromise: ethics, aesthetics, efficiency, moderate cost.

Lare FSC labels and PEFC allows the purchase of wood from sustainable forest management.Andre « durable » and who does not participate in the dandforestation.

The FSC label is a certification system for forest management. It certifies that products are 100% recycled. It also labels wood that is harvested from forests. When you see "FSC label" on an object containing wood, it guarantees that this wood comes from a legal logging operation with sustainable management. Additionally, it is proof that this wood is not linked to deforestation and that its extraction does not harm biodiversity. Finally, the FSC label ensures that it does not come from genetically modified tree forests or that it has not been harvested in violation of the traditional or civil rights of communities.

To be FSC certified, forests must meet 10 principles, applied internationally:

Only products from certified PEFC forests and from an uninterrupted chain of production and marketing by certified companies can carry the PEFC label. This is therefore the assurance that the forest owner who cultivated the wood, and the logging operator who harvested it, have both implemented PEFC sustainable forest management practices. It is the traceable assertion that all companies that subsequently processed and marketed this sourced wood have strictly adhered to PEFC rules.

The ARTIST box comes from responsible sources, and through her purchase, each co-producer contributes to the sustainable management of forests. Managing a forest sustainably means taking into account its environmental, societal, and economic dimensions.

Awareness, convictions, for the brand as well as for the consumer ARTIST, the recyclability, sustainability, and biodegradability of packaging are a necessity.

The boxes ARTIST do not end up drowned in the oceans, and happily experience a second life.

"They can be reused for another gift, for storage, for decoration... Otherwise, we choose the yellow container or the recycling center."

Logistics has not been neglected either. Shipments are secured by adhering to postal shipping standards and transport constraints. This beautiful gift box is therefore protected from any temptation and placed in a neutral, corrugated, recyclable American box.

As soon as the models come out of the final quality control, they are immediately packaged individually. Placing multiple pieces in the same package is not considered. For obvious reasons of cleanliness and hygiene, it is understood why a single box corresponds to only one item.

ARTIST has adapted its eco-designed packaging to its values and artistic sense. It conveys the eco-responsibility aspect of the reasonable and thoughtful fashion brand that "wraps" and "impresses."
