Artecnica’s innovative stretch bags made from advertising billboards get the dedece stamp of approval.

The clever die-cut bags are manufactured without using glue or stitching, and was inspired by the strength and symmetry found in nature. Each flat, two-dimensional bag stretches into a three-dimensional shape to form a comfy, big bag that can support up to 15kg.

The bags are available in a variety of different colours, depending on the billboard used

Impressed by Artecnica’s design w/ conscience program, TBWA, the advertising agency for such companies as Apple, Adidas and Absolute vodka, requested Artecnica to exclusively recycle their large format billboards into products.

After a 2-year design process,they are presenting the first two commercial products of the billboard collection. These bags are die cut from 100% recycled billboards, and have the ability to hold up to 75lbs. Additionally, the 2-D design lies flat but when in use, stretches into a 3-D structure.
