So you buy that special tea online, and it takes days to receive it. Until you get a big box at the door and ask yourself: what is this? 🤔
You open the box, and boom! The two packs of tea you bought.
And with bubble wrap! Well, we didn't know tea packs were so fragile. 😅
Anyway, we know a brand that makes bubble wrap alternatives, EcoEnclose. They are experts in:
- Corrugated Bubble
- GreenWrap
- Indented Kraft Paper
The corrugated bubble is made from shredded-corrugated, typically made out of the unusable portion of corrugated sheets after they are cut into shipping boxes. Corrugated Bubble is 100% recycled (95% post-consumer), recyclable & compostable.
GreenWrap has two layers, a white tissue paper/liner layer & an outer layer that comes in a brown or white option. The dispenser is used to expand the outer layer of the GreenWrap, giving it a cushion & a unique texture & look. When you expand GreenWrap fully, you should get at least 1/4" of paper-based protection, & like traditional bubble wrap, you can always wrap your items more than once for double protection.
This Indented Kraft Paper has ridges & bumps across it, adding texture & a small amount of cushioning. If you are wrapping something that needs a small level of cushioning (like 1 or 2oz glass bottles of essential oils), indented kraft paper can be a good option.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5… 5lbs of Jelly Belly packaged INDIVIDUALLY.
Yes you read that right. Each jelly bean in its own wrapper. 🤯
This is a packaging NO-NO! 🚫
Our grandmas would laugh if they see this. Sometimes it would be better to just go back to the basics.
Not to mention that the packaging counts for 15% or so of the mass so whoever ordered it didn’t REALLY get 5lbs of candy.
We can’t say enough how problematic this is for the environment, and it doesn’t make sense at all.
Maybe the only good point is that the Jelly Bellys will stay clean in the kid’s pockets. 😂
If you want to optimize your packaging practices and find better solutions, we can help with that! We will keep your products safe AND help you increase sales.

Gucci never disappoints. It is a bold, luxurious brand, and to our surprise, they also think about sustainability. They launched new sustainable packaging and, as expected from Gucci, not a simple packaging. And the green color is stunning! 🤩
So what makes this new sustainable packaging launched from Gucci so amazing?
🌳 All the materials used come from sustainable managed forest sources.
💚 The unique green color has a purpose: it decreases the use of inks during the process.
🛍 The uncoated paper makes the packaging easy to recycle
🛍 Shopping bag handles are free from glue and made with recycled polyester.
♻️ Dustbags are natural-colored and made of a mix of regenerated cotton and recycled polyester.
🎀 Ribbons are 100% organic cotton, and hangers are made from recycled Polystyrene.
🚚 To facilitate transportation and reduce their carbon footprint, they redesigned their boxes.
♻️ Gucci launched the take-back program to motivate customers to return and reuse the plastic protective boxes for their accessories and avoid making brand new boxes.
Yeah...We have more reasons to love the products from Gucci! We just hope that our pockets don't let us down.
