Did you know that we design, print, cut, and assemble the packaging for everything we produce ourselves? Yeah, it's a lot of work, but there are so many benefits.
When you send your packaging design to a print shop, they usually require an MOQ (minimum order quantity) that can reach the thousands. This would leave us stuck with the same packaging version for ages. Instead, we take an iterative approach, updating and improving our packaging every few new batches, ensuring we keep getting better.
The logistics costs and carbon footprint of sending our designs to a print shop would also be way higher. Sometimes, a shop would print in one place, send it to another plant to cut and score, and perhaps even to another spot to fold and pack everything. What we do requires us to purchase paper from elsewhere. Still, the entire process happens exactly where we create and produce our products, giving you confidence in our commitment to sustainability.
Naturally, we don't have high-quality, top-speed machines, so our packaging quality could be better. But we want to demonstrate that what matters is the product. We are committed to showing that there is an alternative to the quick-and-easy plastic wrapping that the rest of the industry relies on so much. There is a way to produce something we use every day entirely plastic-free.
When you purchase from us, you are getting something that is truly a labour of love. We personally handle every step: creating a new product, selecting ingredients, building supplier relationships, producing, packaging, and delivering it right to you. We even deliver your orders ourselves if you are in downtown Toronto! 🚲
In this picture, we are working on the Jasmine Lavender Soap box. Yes, it is back in stock and already available on our website and at our next few farmers' market booths.
