A New Standard in Protection: Vela™ Launches Garment Covers

Introducing a Smarter Way to Protect Hanging Garments

‍

For decades, garment covers have been dominated by plastic—lightweight, transparent and convenient, yet difficult to recycle and inconsistent with the sustainability goals that now define many apparel brands. Vela™ set out to rethink this overlooked category, creating a paper-based cover that meets the practical demands of fashion logistics while contributing to a circular packaging system.

Rethinking an Industry Staple

‍

Hanging garments face constant exposure throughout the supply chain: showroom transitions, warehouse handling, long-distance shipping and final delivery. Brands need protection that is dependable, consistent and easy for teams to work with day after day.

However, the reliance on single-use plastic has become increasingly incompatible with brand values and customer expectations. Packaging is now part of the product experience, and the materials used must reflect a commitment to responsible design. This context inspired Vela™ to develop an alternative that elevates both protection and sustainability.

Introducing the Vela™ Garment Cover

‍

Vela™ Garment Covers introduce a high-performance, paper-based alternative to traditional plastic covers—combining protection, visibility and circularity in one streamlined system. Made from FSC™-certified, curbside-recyclable paper, they preserve the functional expectations of plastic while offering a more responsible end-of-life pathway.

Key features include:

- Reliable protection against dust, handling and short-term moisture exposure‍

- Roll format with perforations, compatible with existing dispensing racks‍

- Standard industry sizes, plus custom options for specialised needs

- Multiple material options to balance protection with the desired level of visibility

Designed for Smooth Integration

‍

Adopting a new packaging format can often require operational changes, but Vela™ covers are intentionally built to fit within well-established workflows. The roll format mirrors traditional plastic covers, making the transition intuitive for warehouse teams. This compatibility ensures brands can adopt a circular packaging option without slowing down their supply chains or overhauling existing equipment.

Setting a New Direction for Apparel Packaging

‍

Vela™ Garment Covers mark an evolution in how hanging garments can be protected across the apparel supply chain. They showcase that performance and circularity no longer need to be at odds—and that even long-standing packaging categories can be rethought through design, material science and operational understanding.

As the fashion industry continues seeking practical ways to reduce plastic, solutions like Vela™ help create a more responsible standard for the future.
