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 are produced at our own knitting factory in Wakayama, Japan, and shipped to Germany from there on a monthly basis. There, they are sorted at our main warehouse by DHL, and some of them are sent on to Amazon’s warehouses. Each of these warehouses has its own storage methods and rules regarding how the goods should be received.

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 for your toe socks is designed to protect them from damage during shipping and to ensure the quality we promise you.
👉 Additionally, socks are a hygiene product, and the plastic packaging is intended to help maintain their hygiene.

So, is it impossible without plastic?

Of course, that’s not entirely true: It’s the most hygienic solution, but we’re already looking for a suitable alternative that’s more environmentally friendly yet still protects the toes.
