Biodegradable paper-made sleeves for electronic devices were introduced to the European market a few years ago by the Austrian company Papernomad. Now these sleeves have been brought to North America by Griffin. The sleeves are eco-friendly, and can be easily personalized with doodles or graffiti as they are paper-made.
An Eco-Friendly Sleeve Produced by Papernomad
If you think that the recyclable sleeves produced by Papernomad cannot protect your device effectively because they are made of paper, then you are mistaken. These eco friendly promotional items are made from a specially engineered paper composite that is resistant to both water and rips. Your device is protected from scratches by an inner wool felt lining. The padding between the outer layer and the felt lining protects your device from collisions. The pull-tab, made of hemp twill, has a magnet that shuts it and prevents your device from falling out. Though the sleeve will certainly not survive if drowned, it can resist liquid spills and rain just fine.
These revolutionary sleeves have been brought to North America by Griffin. So far, they are available in three sizes – Pars, Zattere and Tamakwa – for the mobile phones, tablets, and notebook PCs respectively. More sizes are to be introduced to the market soon.
Benefits of Eco Friendly Promotional Items
The Papernomad products have two key benefits. Normally, sleeves or cases for mobile devices are made of plastic, which ends up in landfills after the device owner moves on to a newer device. The first benefit of the paper sleeves made by Papernomad is that they will just rot away after being discarded. The material used to create these sleeves is also environment-friendly – the trees used to create the paper were sustainably forested, and all other materials are also from organic origins. The patented paper complex prevents tears since it is created from multiple layers of biopolymers. This also makes it water-resistant and as durable as its plastic counterparts.
The biodegradability of Papernomad’s products is not the only thing that makes these eco friendly promotional items unique. These products also serve as a means for their owners to show their creativity. Being made of paper, they can be drawn upon by pencil, ink, or paint. If you like to doodle, you can doodle away on your mobile case and make it personalized. You can also paint it or make other graffiti. Griffin invites customers to share the pictures of their Papernomad sleeves, which they have painted upon and personalized.
