If any of you have ordered a piece in the last month you will have gotten my new packaging! This has been in the works for a little while and I spent a bit of time coming up with a new design. I hope you like it 🙂
I liked my previous packaging, but the time it took to put together was really bogging me down. So as the supplies ran out I began looking for alternatives. I had a few criteria that I knew the new packaging had to fulfill.
1. It had to be pretty (obviously)
2. It had to be quick to assemble.
3. I needed a way to display my logo on top
4. I wanted the materials to be Eco friendly.
5. It had to fit in the envelopes I had which keep shipping costs down.
So, how did I do? The boxes are recyclable, compostable and re-usable. The paper fill is made of 50% recycled material and is recyclable. I finished the packaging off with a wrap of pretty blue washi tape, a sticker with my Logo, and a bit of hemp twine.

This is so pretty, I love the contrasts and colours and textures. Beautifully done and I love how it is eco friendly too 🙂
