One of my goals since I started my small business has been to find the most sustainable ways possible to make, package, and ship my products. In this post I want to share some of the great sustainable brands I've found and different ways I save on packaging and reduce waste!
Bubble Mailers: I use EcoEnclose recycled bubble mailers to ship and love them! They feel sturdy and supportive and I love that they are fully recyclable & naturally biodegradable! Link here!
Clamshell Boxes: These are amazing and so much fun to decorate and customize! They come in so many sizes and are also 100% recycled and recyclable. They are also great to reuse to for gifting! Link here!
Seeded Tissue Paper: I am obsessed with this stuff! I have always felt that gift wrapping gives products a personal touch but I find this seeded tissue paper to be a very special addition! Instead of throwing away the paper that your jewelry comes wrapped in, plant it with a thin layer of dirt and watch it grow! Some of the seed varieties are: corn poppy, coreopsis, black-eyed Susan and baby snapdragons. For more info on this tissue paper and a video of how it works click here!
I design my jewelry cards, thank you cards, and care instruction with pink card stock, my inkjet printer and cut them out with a paper trimmer.
I make my stickers and custom tape in house as well. I use sticker paper from Online Labels. They have a ton of different types of papers to choose from. I use the pink paper to save on printer inks and still achieve a cute colorful background. Link here!
Making printable things in house allows me to have total control of how things look, only make what I need, and change up my packaging whenever I feel like it. I am happy to share a tutorial on how I make my stickers if anyone is interested! Thanks for checking out my packaging and please let me know if you have any questions!
