Our packaging

A device from Revendo has already passed through many hands—and is meant to last for many more years. To ensure it reaches you safely, it needs packaging that is just as thoughtfully designed as the refurbishment itself. Since we couldn’t find what we were looking for on the market, we developed our packaging ourselves together with Swiss packaging specialists: one for smartphones, and one for MacBooks, laptops, and Tablets.

Maximum protection

The device must withstand transport undamaged—that is the most important requirement for packaging refurbished Electronics.

As little material as possible

As much packaging as necessary, as little as possible. Every gram we save won’t have to be disposed of later.

Fully recyclable

All components belong in the paper and cardboard recycling stream—you don’t need to take anything apart or dispose of it separately.

Renewable, certified raw materials

We use FSC®-certified cardboard instead of plastic solutions.

Easy handling and frustration-free unboxing

The packaging should be quick to fill and just as easy to open again—without a knife, without tearing, without hassle.

Reusable

Reusing the packaging extends its lifespan—fully in line with our business model.

That’s why we develop our own packaging.

Standard boxes rarely meet all these requirements at the same time: Either they provide good protection but use a lot of material, or they are economical but less secure. They often contain plastic components that would have to be removed before recycling.

That is why we took the opposite approach and developed our packaging from the ground up for our devices—tailored precisely to the actual dimensions of smartphones, Tablets, and notebooks. The result is two types of packaging that do exactly what they are supposed to do and can then be fully recycled as paper.

The smartphone packaging

For iPhones and other smartphones, we use a self-developed corrugated cardboard shipping sleeve.

What’s behind it

  • Material

    Corrugated cardboard from FSC®-certified sources (E-flute, FSC® Mix) with 80% recycled content. The packaging can be fully recycled through the paper/cardboard recycling stream and recycled up to 12 times.

  • Quick to set up, flexible to fill

    Additional creases allow the Case to be adjusted to the height of the contents, so no unnecessary empty space is shipped.

  • Sealed securely

    A self-adhesive closure reliably seals the Case. No tape, no additional material.

Our packaging

Packaging for MacBooks, laptops, and Tablets

Larger and heavier devices need more protection. That’s why we add a PE film to the box here, which secures the device and protects it from knocks and moisture. This plastic is harmless to health, durable, and recyclable—and it makes up such a small proportion of the packaging that you can dispose of the box and film together in the cardboard recycling.

In the long term, we also want to do without plastic for larger devices. We have already achieved this with our smartphone packaging.

What applies to all our packaging

FSC®-certified cardboard

The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is an international organization committed to the sustainable management of forests. The FSC® label guarantees that wood and other forest products come from forests managed according to strict environmental, social, and economic criteria. Only certified companies may label their products with the seal.

We use FSC® Mix: The cardboard consists of material from FSC®-certified forests, recycled material, and controlled sources.

Recycling codes PAP 20 and PAP 21

Our packaging is labeled PAP 20 or PAP 21. These codes show you at a glance what material it is made of and which recycling stream the packaging belongs to:

  • PAP 20 Corrugated cardboard
  • PAP 21 Other cardboard (solid cardboard)

Water-based printing inks

Our packaging is printed using the flexographic printing process. This uses water-based, mineral-oil-free inks without hazardous ingredients.
