Because of a high demand for PC and laptop sleeves, ColcaSac began producing custom sleeves upon request in 2007. A lot of the inspiration for the design and style of the products[1] are from the Hawaiian landscape. 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. Materials used to produce ColcaSac sleeves are from Mexico, China and the United States; all of the sleeves are made in the United States.[4] By 2010, the company had started producing protective sleeves for a wide variety of hardware beyond the MacBook: Kindle, iPhone, iPod Touch and iPod Classic[1] using material such as hemp fibers.
