Serving Austin's Economy
Austin's technology sector needs packaging for hardware products, accessories, and promotional kits. We work with tech companies on branded packaging that reflects innovation and quality. The city's food and beverage industry, including craft breweries, artisan food makers, and specialty coffee roasters, uses our boxes for retail products and subscription offerings.
Austin's creative community of makers, artists, and small-batch manufacturers relies on custom packaging to present handmade goods professionally. Music merchandise, screen-printed apparel, and local crafts all benefit from branded boxes that tell the maker's story while protecting products during shipping.
Environmental Considerations
All corrugated materials are recyclable and contain significant recycled content. We source from mills with third-party sustainability certifications. Kraft paperboard provides a natural look favored by eco-conscious Austin brands and reduces environmental messaging needs since the material itself communicates sustainability.
Water-based and soy-based inks minimize VOC emissions compared to petroleum-based alternatives. Box structures can be optimized to reduce material consumption while maintaining protective properties. Lightweight designs decrease shipping costs and carbon footprint.
