Austrian Post offers these bags to its business customers as part of its "Post Loop Service Plus" and will take care of the return shipping and cleaning of the bags. The "Post Loop Packaging" will include hey circle mailing bags in the sizes S, M and L.
"Austrian Post is a pioneer in reusable shipping and started dealing with it early and, above all, in a professional manner. We are pleased that we meet their high standards of cost-effectiveness, design and sustainability. Working with such a great partner takes us closer to our vision: waste-free shipping," says Doris Diebold, founder and CEO of hey circle GmbH. "We are very pleased to be able to enter the Austrian market alongside Austrian Post."
Customized design and easy returns of reusable shipping bags
The bags can be easily folded and returned via the mailbox. If the bag is returned empty, the return address is already affixed to a fold-out flap by means of a sticker. All other returns are sent back to the customer with a return label. Consumers can find return shipping instructions directly on the bag and at post.at/postloop.
The reusable shipping bags for Austrian Post carry individual branding: they come in light gray with a straight leaf print and bear the Austrian Post logo. This gives them just as much recognition value as the turquoise boxes and bags from hey circle.
"Austrian Post has kept its promise! We put the reusable packaging through a tough practical test under scientific supervision and promised a regular service as a result. With Post Loop, all business customers now have the opportunity to switch to a truly sustainable packaging solution. With the corresponding deposit system, shippers can also motivate consumers to participate in a green future," explains Peter Umundum, Board Member for Parcel & Logistics, Austrian Post.
