@surheeho Thanks! We're hoping to have poly "bubble" mailer options available next. Probably a few months out, but definitely coming soon.
It says on your site "Quantities start at 100." But PH says you can start with 25. Just clarifying, is it 100 minimum?
Could you guys talk a little bit about exactly what poly mailers are, and who needs them to send what? Thanks :)
Have been following Pakible for a while now. All products look spot on!
Questions to makers:
1. You were talking about poly mailers since the beginning. Was there a reason you launched them only now?
2. Is communication/making deals with manufacturers one of your biggest challenges?
3. Where do you imagine the packaging industry will be in the next 3 to 5 years?
4. Any thoughts on expanding to UK (or Europe in general)?
@vytasbu Appreciate the kind words and the questions. Thanks for the support!
1. Like you said, people have been asking forever. We've gotten to a point where our internal processes on boxes (preparing boxes for manufacturing, customer support, shipping) have been streamlined and even automated to a point, which has opened up some bandwidth. Thus, here we are!
2. Definitely. In an industry that is archaic and un-transparent as packaging, there is no Yelp for our industry. We've gotten samples from literally dozens of manufacturers to find the right ones who mix great quality and cost to bring our customers. Many manufacturers are family-run businesses with websites from the 90's, have never heard of an online customizer or crowd-batching, so finding the ones who are open-minded and think long term is key.
3. I hope that it'll be as easy posting on Thumbtack, or getting a project sourced on Upwork/Freelancer. Essentially, a very transparent but open marketplace, efficient, and in the 20th century. In fact, I hope it gets there, much quicker than 3-5 years, hopefully < 1.
4. We have thought about it, but the US packaging industry is alone a $100B industry. With Saas companies, it's easier to distribute horizontally, but with tangible products, with lining up manufacturers and logistics, it's a bit tough. Even if we used our domestic and some overseas manufacturers, boxes and bags are much heavier than people think which can make shipping difficult. That being said, we have shipped internationally on larger orders, and we'll take it on a case by case basis.
Thanks again for the questions!!!
Finally! We can't wait to start using this at Giveffect for client gifts + swag!! Fantastic job, team Pakible!
@theanisamirza might I recommend our boxes as they make great beds for Raja + Veer
As someone who has made company swag mailers for quite some time... where the hell have you guys been! :) I'm excited to try these out.
@sethlouey working! haha agreed, definitely overdue. The trick to doing these right here actually is quite a bit more complicated than we thought and involves 3 different manufacturing partners.
@ilyashassani if you're able to cover the extra shipping charges (we use FedEx for these) we can make it happen for you.
@ilyashassani all depends on how many you need (cost by weight/size). let me know what quantity.
Love this! Sadly though we're in the UK but do order A LOT of boxes. Tried to sign up to be notified about when you start shipping international but seems the form has disappeared. Form link is on this page... https://pakible.com/faq would love to know when you do start shipping to UK :)
@brandonuttley You can order as low as 25. Thanks for pointing that out, looks like we need to update the copy :)
I was very happy with the launch boxes I ordered. Looking forward to ordering these as well.
@glenncameronjr @skrypt @nwkwan we made our purchase for launch boxes as well. What really stood out was the quality. Really excited about these new mailers. There's so many ways to use these, congrats team, putting in our order now.
We did a run of Pakible's "Launch Boxes" recently here at MathElf and loved the result! We have been using them as swag giveaway boxes and have received very positive feedback on the quality and branding of them :)
Looking forward to trying out these new mailers for an upcoming project!
@jalehafshar Thanks so much!! Your boxes ended up turning out awesome and we're excited for this batch of Polys.
We were using another competitor for our subscription box before Pakible had their original launch on PH. I can't say enough about the professionalism and support we've received from these guys. Keep up the great work!
@thejacobballard Appreciate the kind words, Jake. We just ordered a Brotein Box btw (Order #162969526!), our marketing team's been looking a little skinny lately. 💪
Sick! Have been waiting for these. Any plans to do any bigger boxes as well or custom sizes?
@frankdenbow Frank, always asking all the right questions.
Yep, we're working on custom sizes with our manufacturing partners to start offering that. Should be able to input any size you want in multiple styles once its ready.
@frankdenbow Definitely, Frank! We've actually just paired up with another manufacturer that has a ton of extra capacity with their digital cutters. That'll allow us to do custom sizes at low volumes, at scale. Just hit up our Intercom chat on our site!
At volumes over 1000 units, our standard manufacturer can do this. Feel free to ping us for that, too.
Keep up the great work with the Packs, and enjoy Chile, po.
