CASE STUDY: How 5NO Found Sustainable E-commerce Packaging for Jewelry with LAM'ON

Summary
5no goods, a jewelry brand focused on thoughtful design and sustainability, partnered with LAM'ON to improve their e-commerce packaging. By switching to compostable courier bags, they solved key durability issues while aligning their packaging with their environmental values. With every 100 kg of packaging used, the brand can reduce emissions by approximately 86.6 kg CO₂e compared to conventional plastic alternatives.

The Challenge
For jewelry brands, packaging plays a critical role in both protection and customer experience. However, sustainable options often fail in performance.

5no goods faced several challenges:

  • Finding truly sustainable e-commerce packaging
  • Preventing shipments from being damaged or exposed to moisture
  • Maintaining a premium brand experience
  • Avoiding fossil-based plastic solutions

After testing multiple alternatives, none delivered both performance and sustainability.

The Solution
LAM'ON provided e-commerce mailer bags certified bio-based and compostable by EN 13432 designed to combine durability with environmental responsibility.

This enabled 5no to:

  • Replace conventional courier bags with a bio-based alternative
  • Protect shipments from damage and moisture
  • Maintain a consistent brand experience
  • Align packaging with their sustainability values

Implementation
The transition to LAM'ON mailer bags was straightforward, allowing 5no to integrate the new packaging into their existing fulfillment process without disruption.

As an ongoing partnership, packaging volumes are expected to grow alongside the brand.

Results

  • Successfully replaced conventional courier bags with compostable e-commerce packaging
  • Improved shipment protection, reducing issues with damage and moisture
  • Enhanced alignment between packaging and brand values
  • With every 100 kg of packaging used, reduced emissions by approximately:
    • 86.6 kg CO₂e vs LDPE
    • 35.7 kg CO₂e vs HDPE
  • Established a scalable, long-term sustainable packaging solution

Client Testimonial
"I’m extremely happy with your product. I’ve been searching for a sustainable solution for my brand for a long time—one that truly considers the environment. I tried many different options, but none met my expectations—my shipments would get crushed or wet. LAM'ON is a revolution in courier bags, and I can’t wait for more companies and brands to discover it!"

Why This Matters
E-commerce packaging is one of the largest sources of single-use plastic waste. This case shows that brands don’t have to choose between sustainability and performance—they can achieve both.

For growing brands like 5no, packaging becomes a key part of both product protection and brand identity.

By partnering with LAM'ON, 5no goods found a solution that meets both functional and environmental needs. With scalable CO₂ reductions and improved product protection, the collaboration demonstrates how sustainable packaging can enhance both operations and brand perception.
