Garment Bag Case Studies

Finisterre designs functional and sustainable products for those that share a love of the sea. They approached Aquapak to work with them and their packaging suppliers to develop garment packaging that leaves no trace. At that time, their garment bags were the last remaining piece of packaging using single-use traditional polymer and they wanted to change these that disappear safely, are non-toxic and marine-safe.

“To see the completion of this project and the last 10 months’ work, is one of the most exciting moments in my career to date. To be able to launch something so ground breaking and literally world changing is an honour, and to be partnered with Aquapak, leading the way for the next generations is unbelievably exciting.” Niamh O’Laoighre, Finisterre Product Development Manager
