My Favorite Source for Custom eCommerce Packaging

Half the fun of shopping online is that whenever the mail comes you get to unwrap a little present to yourself! And yet so many startups and small businesses kick the can down the road and put off investing in custom packaging because they think it’s going to be expensive or difficult to source.

But I say that if you’re spending all the time and energy working on your custom eCommerce website, why let your customers down when it comes to unboxing?

Custom, branded packaging makes such an impact - not just in the unboxing experience but in building brand loyalty, referrals, and repeat visitors. There’s nothing worse than shopping from a cute online shop just to see your order show up in a free USPS box 😬

I’ve finally found a source that I can confidently recommend to you for custom, eco-friendly packaging: noissue! Learn more about why I recommend this awesome source:

 

Creative, Mix & Match Packaging Options

Packaging isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation! What works for you is going to be based on what you’re shipping, how you need to package it and, ultimately, what suits your brand. With noissue you can combine just the right items for you and they’ll all work great together.

 

Low Order Minimums

One of the biggest reasons why startups and small businesses default to free boxes over custom packaging is because it used to just require too much upfront committment and cost. But if want to try things out with, say, just 25 custom boxes to start you can do just that!

 

Easy Design Tools

The easy design editor makes it super simple to create cool patterns out of your logo or customize any product. There are also some pre-designed items that you can add like simple kraft boxes or mailers - great to mix and match with some of your own custom elements like tissue paper or cards. noissue also has a pre-press team that will make sure your design is going to print perfectly!

 

Sustainable Products

Everything - seriously, every single thing - in noissue’s product lineup is either compostable, recycled, or reusable. They are very transparent about their supply chain and sourcing which is super rare in the print industry, especially at this price point. Eco-friendly packaging is something online customers are looking for and you can proudly feature that you ship using earth-friendly materials on your website.

 

Noissue offers eCommerce packaging that not only protects your products and promotes your brand - it’s all super earth-friendly!

Fractional Web Partner

I'm Kristine Neil - a communications strategist who has spent 20+ years designing websites, first running a full-scale design and marketing agency, and now leading my own studio. I've been the creative director managing the work, the coder quietly fixing what others couldn't, and the strategist in the room asking why before how. Somewhere between the MBA and the other degrees, I decided web design was just one tool in a much bigger toolbox - the real work is figuring out what you're trying to say, who needs to hear it, and what's getting in the way. A website is just where all of that comes to life.

I build on Squarespace, and after years deep in the platform I know how far it can go and when to push past its limits. These days, I'm especially drawn to working as a fractional partner - getting to know an organization over time and helping with whatever moves them forward, whether that's a full redesign, an ongoing hand with content and strategy, or just being the person who knows their site best. I write here about eCommerce, web strategy, and making the complex feel a little more human.
