PREPPING & PLANNING

CELEBRATING SUSTAINABLITY

Building a holiday package that can be reused, adapted, and added to for years to come is a great way to minimize the environmental impact of your visual trim. Adding more or new ornamentation to a core package can lengthen the life span of holiday elements, reducing each holiday trim’s impact.

By creating bags and packaging that are durable enough for consumers to reuse and through thoughtful material choices we can provide a more sustainable solution this holiday season.
