We were very pleased when we found out some of our products would be featured in a leading photographic magazine because we never designed them to be photogenic. Though, after we saw our boxes in this month’s issue, we have to agree our boxes look great. Please read Robyn L. Pollman’s article,”Green ‘n’ Groovy,” on [...]

I have visited some of the cleanest, neatest, pick-and-pack fulfillment warehouses in the country, yet I have never seen one that does not create and accumulate dust. Between paper dust from boxes, paper void fill and from the products themselves, or even from fork lift use, slow moving or seasonal products can look very old [...]

Today, there are few companies selling products wholesale or in brick-and-mortar retail outlets that are not also offering their products directly to consumers via the internet. This relatively new market provides tremendous sales opportunities as well as challenges because the packaging required for this type of customer seems to fall somewhere in between usual retail [...]

We realize that in some green circles plastic is an objectionable word and an unacceptable packaging solution under any circumstances.

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.

Customers love these eco friendly mailers, but what’s not to love? They have a convenient “peel and seal” adhesive strip, so they are easy to use. Our Globe Guard paper mailers are made of a minimum of 50% recycled content, and like most paper based packaging products, they are also biodegradable, compostable and of course, [...]

Reusable packaging in every form is more popular than ever, and now our paper mailers are reusable too. These heavy duty paper mailers are available gussetted and custom printed but now they can also be manufactured to be easily used a second time. Why Globe Guard Paper Mailers? For green minded customers who will not [...]

The new box that eBay has created for their customers to reuse is an excellent concept and it could not come at a better time. People are more focused than ever before on all of the “three R’s” of sustainability,” but especially the one I often refer to as “the other R” or “the forgotten [...]

With sincere hope and belief that our readers are not going to shoot or even blame the messenger, I have to let everyone know that we received our first price increase notice (this round) earlier this week.
