Our Amazing Clients
Novel packing material
KIUD is made of repurposed industrial textile waste fibers, hence being reusable, durable, tear-resistant and crack-proof.
The premium quality packaging from end-of-life textiles has over an 80% smaller carbon footprint compared to the conventional cardboard process.
We do not use any water or chemicals!
KIUD material has a distinctive texture that conveys a high quality luxury feeling.
