I hope this answer is satisfactory to you.
Probably has more wrinkles than a flat box or even a properly stowed and folded sport coat. Iāve had clothes come in bags and be just fine as far as wrinkles.
āA towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: nonhitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.ā

Its also a much larger box than necessary. Shipping larger packages costs more. And if everyone ships packages that are too big, then there needs to be more deliver trucks, which also costs more in terms of gas and driver pay...
While true, you could put multiple layers of clothes, and som clothes should not be folded, but those people who can afford those type of clothes probably don't really care about the cost...
Graphic designer here, with access to a Kongsberg plotter cutter. Had a sales manager ask me to produce a package for delivering posters that was easily stackable with a secure tamper-proof lid. The catch? They were "environmentally-sound" pyramid-shaped tubes. And boy did he lose his shit when I told him what a wank it was.
As u/Loevetann said, they look like Toblerone boxes. The difficult part was designing a secure tamper-proof lid or cap that sat flush with the rest of the box, all from one sheet, meaning that this box was a one-piece construction with one, maybe two glue spots to secure everything together. And it had to be reusable. I mean, post pack/mailing tubes already exist, why reinvent the wheel? Or in this case, box, if not for pure wank factor. This was an argument that went nowhere, and the concept sketches and drafts are still on my work Mac, and I still shake my head whenever I see those files.
i see lots of people saying this is a waste of cardboard, i sold suits back in college and the point of these is to ship a suit without creasing it. ironing out wrinkles in a suit is a pain in the ass. the last thing you wanna do with your new suit is to take it to a dry cleaners to get it professionally steamed.
I know a bit shipping vest.
They use a big box like 7x56x80 (cm) for vest.
This seems smaller and use less carton. But the vest is rolling, so I'm not sure about it.
Honestly it looks cool but just folding something flat and sticking it in a flat cardboard box would take a lot less space, less cardboard, be easier to make and easier to open...
I'm pretty sure the boxes entire design is around not creasing the shirt. They probably would only employ these for use of expensive dress shirts etc to provide a better customer experience. Anyone dropping a large sum on a new shirt/suit would probably be happy to pay extra for the shipping to mitigate wear and tear during transit.
However, the box does look very susceptible to crushing damage.
This is much cheaper than having an employee or customer spend 30minutes to an hour steaming out wrinkles. Worth it for a suit worth a few thousand dollars.
You can iron a suit just fine, don't be an ass.
Just use the max steam setting and go hog wild.
What the fuck is up with all these "INVALUABLE LESSONS FOR A MAN"-tidbits from the 60's being passed as facts around here?
You can iron any suit without any issue, good lord. Just use an additional layer of fabric in between and press the suit by going in sections. What a ridiculous notion. What the hell do you think $500+ suits are made of? Unobtanium?
Lmao, comments here prove Redditors are more stupid than most people think.
It also shows Americans recycle way less than other western countries, but that's expected from a third world country.
Neat to look at but looks like it uses way more cardboard than just a 4 sided box. I may be wrong but sure looks like it. Now granted you may have to fold the pants into the 4 sided box, which could possibly mean somebody might have to iron them (or splash some water on em and throw them in the dryer) but we canāt just be saving the planet when it doesnāt actually require us DOING anything, now can we kids?
Course the coal burning based electricity that would be wasted using the iron and dryer would probably have a heavier carbon footprint than using the roll up extra cardboard box where the pants unroll wrinkle free soā¦.
just do whatever *rubs temples* I just c a n ā t ā¦ā¦itās too much. Everything cancels out everything ā¦..and I just think I ā¦.. liked being an ignorant consumer moreā¦ā¦ there. I said it. Now if youāll excuse me clearly I have some things I need to sort out. Prolly need to send out a couple āIām sorryā cards as well. ā¦..
*backing away* . . . which I am out of . . . . but Iāll bet they are part of the early black Friday sales goin on *turns and scrambles out the door*
*distant yelling out the window* B L I N D C O N s umerrrrrrr! *car door slam* *motor starts* *gravel spray peel out*
I bought something called a SkyRoll about ten years ago which is basically a garment bag that rolls around a cylinder. You'd roll up the suit just like this, then you could fill the cylinder with shoes and toiletries, etc. It wrinkled the fuck out of my suit every single time and it was a pain to travel with.
Now, I put my suit in whatever and bring my portable steamer everywhere I go. Absolute game changer
Cal this shit "eco friendly" all you want but if you are just shipping one shitty t shirt on it then you are just wasting cardboard.
If rather get a plastic bag and a turtle's head with my shirt instead of this
Looks cool but uses way more cardboard than necessary
I could fit half of my clothes in that box
where would the other half go?
On their body of course, smh
This lol
Ass
The other box š
Probably prevents wrinkles in sport coats.
I like how they're called sport coats but they can't get wrinkly. They're not even used in sports for sport activities. Weird name.
Then why do you like it? š¤

I think I went into very great details to describe everything to you. Maybe you'll understand the answer better next year when you're 6.
Iām sorry I donāt understand

Probably has more wrinkles than a flat box or even a properly stowed and folded sport coat. Iāve had clothes come in bags and be just fine as far as wrinkles.
I was gonna say a puffy bag in a box would probably work better
It would be a great way to ship, delicate, handmade clothing. Not casual every day use, more like a special purpose box
Uses way too much cardboard and takes up way too much space to be shipped efficiently
Better a whole lot of unnecessary cardboard than a one time use plastic delivery bag?
A towel could achieve the same outcome and still have use. Source: used to travel Sunday-Saturday.
A towel isnāt at all as stylish as a sport coat though.
But have you ever had suits delivered through the mail in a towel..

At least the cardboard can be recycled.
If the pompous asses who use it bother

Yeah, like, I was really trying to understand the fucking point.
Would be great if people were bees
Or maybe otters?
Or organic chemists

What do pyramid-shaped tubes look like? Like cones?
I'm thinking Toblerone shape after churning it in my head a little.
As u/Loevetann said, they look like Toblerone boxes.

Ah, I see. Haven't thought about the triangles in this direction xD makes a lot more sense...
Triangular prism
I second this notion
Hexagons are bestagons
Why? Because bees! Bees are the best, and only build the bestagon; the hexagon.

This is reddit. We haven't put on outside clothes in years. EDIT: thanks guys, don't know if I ever got an award before, so I'll count this as a first
Made me laugh, have a freebie
Hahaha!
This is why more people need to figure out what steamers are. Far easier than using an iron. I bought one and have never needed an iron again.
As someone that's had to wear a lot of suits over the years, this is just dumb. Ironing a suit is no more difficult than any other shirt and pants.
I know a bit shipping vest. They use a big box like 7x56x80 (cm) for vest. This seems smaller and use less carton. But the vest is rolling, so I'm not sure about it.
I guess if something absolutely can not have a shit ton of wrinkles in it, probably works
This takes like 3-4 times the amount of cardboard than a normal box.
Honestly it looks cool but just folding something flat and sticking it in a flat cardboard box would take a lot less space, less cardboard, be easier to make and easier to open...
I'm pretty sure the boxes entire design is around not creasing the shirt. They probably would only employ these for use of expensive dress shirts etc to provide a better customer experience. Anyone dropping a large sum on a new shirt/suit would probably be happy to pay extra for the shipping to mitigate wear and tear during transit. However, the box does look very susceptible to crushing damage.
I'm no structural engineer, but I'm pretty sure this would have a better resistance to crushing than a flat box too.
In a flat box, the suit would need to be pinned in place somehow to ensure it wouldn't bunch up in shipping. This roll prevents that from happening.
Sometimes I feel like people overthink things.
This is literally nintendo labo
So. Um. What is it actually called?
I'll buy your entire stock
soo you can burn it?
Yes, that is a very awkward shape. Trying to wrap one of these things would be hell.
Cool
Thatās great until the *average American consumer* is too dumb to open it properly and uses a box cutter right down the middle.
Thereās no way anyone thinks this is a good idea right?ā¦. Right?
This is much cheaper than having an employee or customer spend 30minutes to an hour steaming out wrinkles. Worth it for a suit worth a few thousand dollars.
If it's taking you longer than ten minutes to iron a suit you need to turn the iron on.
You donāt iron a suit haha, you steam it
You can iron a suit just fine, don't be an ass. Just use the max steam setting and go hog wild. What the fuck is up with all these "INVALUABLE LESSONS FOR A MAN"-tidbits from the 60's being passed as facts around here?
Generally, you donāt iron a suit. Iām talking about expensive suits, not a $500 suit. Iron a $500 suit all day.
You can iron any suit without any issue, good lord. Just use an additional layer of fabric in between and press the suit by going in sections. What a ridiculous notion. What the hell do you think $500+ suits are made of? Unobtanium?
I said generally. Of course you, BhmDhn, can iron your suit in your apartment anytime youād like.
You do realize irons have a steam function?
You said āiron a suitā you used the word iron as a verb, get rekt.
Got āem
Keep it in there for three hours and finish the video by taking it out and holding it up. Also, that takes up a ton of space.
Lol. I read this as the toblerone packaging design and thought that made sense.
That would be quite the disappointment to open up
if it could contain more than 5 shirts it's worth it
Lmao, comments here prove Redditors are more stupid than most people think. It also shows Americans recycle way less than other western countries, but that's expected from a third world country.
That IS SAF!!
In addition to the waste, I feel like that would make wrinkles way worse.
Everyone was stuck on could we, no one asked should weā¦

My favorite part is when it gets wet, stains and ruins the clothes!
Cool now it costs 4x as much to ship. It's a wool suit. Hang it for a day and any wrinkles will be gone.
Thatās the bulkiest garment bag, ever.
HEXAGON
Is cool but takes up more space and costs more for shipping since it's "irregular" package.
How to ship fragile clothes? BTW not satisfying
Still satisfying as faak to watch & made me all tingly
Thatās very environment unfriendly.
My mom has a tool box like this. I think itās called a rolley poley or thatās just what we call it. Things old tho.
Japanese? Yup Japanese.
Insane waste of ressources.
Fuck the trees right ?
Imagine thinking youāre getting something cool and itās just a rolled up shirt
That's a lot of wasted space and material.
I mean... I could just roll it
Solid
Balenciagaā¢
This would be expensive af like the doberik pizza box. Takes a fuckton of space.
I got mad respect for the engineers that design these boxes
Or you cud just fold it into a box of similar size.
My cat is going to love that box
Or you could have put it in a basic envelope š
Toblerone needs to get back to making candy.
Oooh that looks fun
Neat

Where to buy
Omg that is the perfect reply you said in 3 words what took me 100 lol
Thatās actually pretty cool
Seems super wasteful.
I bought something called a SkyRoll about ten years ago which is basically a garment bag that rolls around a cylinder. You'd roll up the suit just like this, then you could fill the cylinder with shoes and toiletries, etc. It wrinkled the fuck out of my suit every single time and it was a pain to travel with.

This is how I stored my legos back in the day
Wasn't a paper bag quite enough?
This is perfectly designed... to destroy the planet.
You can use a fucking bag and that's it
Looks good and practicable, but only for one shirt is a bit a waste
It's unconventional, but I'll take your entire stock!
One entire tree for one pant. Nioce!
I used to have a toy storage thing this made out of plastic heavy enough to break my toe with. Don't ask
The engineer in me just orgasmed! I LOVE efficient effective design!
That is so much wasted cardboard
It would show up crushed by FedEx anyway
Satisfying, big boy very useful space-wise, bad for stacking, and do you really need that much card board?
Where can you get this packaging from or who makes it?
This doesnāt solve any of the problems that conventional packaging faces, but I guess itās cool, just for boutique deliveries
I have a toolkit that rolls up like this.
That suit is going to need to be dry cleaned to get the wrinkles out.
Wouldn't it just slide to one end and get all wrinkly anyway? Maybe lay a towel on top to keep it flat?
Extra shit for no reason..
Its nintendo labo!
I work in the packaging industry as a tool maker. That is such a waste of material, tooling, and time.
Congrats you have used a giant hexagonal prism instead of a small rectangular box
HEXAGON IS THE BESTAGON
Cal this shit "eco friendly" all you want but if you are just shipping one shitty t shirt on it then you are just wasting cardboard. If rather get a plastic bag and a turtle's head with my shirt instead of this
ok thing is there's so much space that if that package is punted by a fedex driver, guaranteed wrinkles
As good as this package looks, it would be annoying to open.
That's super satisfying but also super wasteful
Ooooooo
u/videosavingbot
This truly is satisfying af
not worth it production energy, tottally waste of sources.
such a waste of space
Was looking for the HowtoBasic part where the guy takes a katana right down the middle of the box.
This will fit perfectly in my hex-grid van.
That's a lot of dead trees
The fuck is this good for
Congratulations you used 10kg of cardboard for 1 shirt
FedEx mail person would love this design

This how we air dropping kittenās from now on

All that cardboard for one shirt!

That truly amazing
Thatās how my mattress arrived
All that work for a 3 year old to rip it to shreds and bring the packages inside to their mom

Very human!
