Have you ever wondered why Knitido toe socks arrive in plastic packaging? Here we explain the reasons for this.
Why do your Knitidos actually arrive in plastic packaging?
Knitido toe socks are produced in our own knitting mill in Wakayama, Japan, and shipped from there to Germany every month. There, they are sorted in our main warehouse at DHL, and some are forwarded to Amazon's warehouses. Each of these warehouses has its own storage methods and rules for how the goods should arrive.
So, it's a relatively long journey before the toe socks get to your home – and in many places, we cannot observe the handling firsthand.
👉 The plastic packaging of your toe socks is intended to protect them from transport damage and guarantee the quality we promise you.
👉 In addition, socks are a hygiene product, and the plastic packaging is intended to better maintain this hygiene.
So, is it impossible without plastic?
That's not entirely true, of course: it's the most hygienic solution, but we are already looking for a suitable alternative that is more environmentally friendly and still protects the toe socks.
