However, our customers love them for their inner beauty, because if you look past the [...]

It’s difficult to believe that we’ve been doing this for three years, but this week marks the third anniversary of the launch of our popular blog.

Occasionally, we receive an email or call asking us how we can possibly wrap and ship a product as green as our Globe Guard 100% PCW, recycled content boxes in an un-green material like plastic.
