Sustainable Unboxing
Guys, we have a lot to worry about these days. Too much in fact. Saying we are all overwhelmed is an understatement. And so, it may feel like a small insignificant thing, but when it comes to getting yourself or someone else a gift, the last thing I want is for you to worry about the packaging!
That’s why I have made the commitment to using recycled and 100% recyclable materials for all of my packaging. When I say 100%, I mean it! Even the tape on the boxes, the stickers, labels and the sheets they come on can be recycled and almost all are made from post-consumer recycled content.
Now your unboxing experience can be worry free!

Corrugated Shipping Box Printed with Algal Ink:
Boxes are made of 100% recycled cardboard, 95% post-consumer and 5% post-industrial waste. They are 100% recyclable and accepted by the vast majority of curbside programs.
Water-based algae pigment ink is the world’s most sustainable ink! It’s actually carbon negative since it captures more carbon than is used to produce it!
🌱 Recycling is the optimal end of life scenario for these boxes, but feel free to reuse!
