Because of a high demand for PC and laptop sleeves, ColcaSac began producing custom sleeves upon request in 2007. The company claims that natural fabrics and earthy colors reduce attractiveness to thieves.[3]
As a company ColcaSac engages in environmentally respectful standards and is a member of 1% for the Planet.
