DESIGN INNOVATION

"As a brand that just celebrated 125 years of iconic design and innovation, as well as a long heritage of environmental responsibility, we are proud to incorporate more sustainable packaging into our product line with Natralock," says Victorinox Swiss Army, Inc. president, Rick Taggart.

Natralock is a paperboard-based alternative to plastic clamshells. The proprietary technology behind Natralock creates a high-strength, tear-resistant package that can easily be opened with scissors, leaving a smooth, safe edge and preventing the "wrap rage" commonly associated with opening traditional plastic clamshell packaging. It uses 60 percent less plastic on average than petroleum-based PVC clamshells and uses about 65 percent less energy in production. It's made from sustainably sourced paperboard with a clear plastic APET or RPET bubble.
