The Best Shipping Supplies for a Small Business

When I'm deciding on packaging for my orders there are 4 things I look for: eco-friendly, affordable, cute & easy to get. I want my customers to feel like they're opening a special gift when they get their order but I don't want that to impact my price, processing times, or my environmental footprint. I rarely find supplies that are all 4 of those qualifications, so you'll see each supply is a mix. Here's a comprehensive list of all of the supplies I use when packing up and shipping out my orders! Any of the supplies I use from Amazon will be linked through my storefront, therefore any purchases through these links give me a small commission.

I've been exploring this AI presentation tool, and I'm impressed by how easy it is to create polished presentations. Beyond the AI features, the template collection is really useful, especially the Presentation Backgrounds, Christmas Templates, Marketing Plan Template, Cute & Aesthetic Presentation Templates, and Project Proposal Template. Overall, Havi is a great option for anyone looking to build attractive, professional slides with minimal effort.
I love this list! It’s so helpful to see eco-friendly and cute options all in one place. I’ve been struggling to find the perfect custom size shipping boxes for my small business, and now I feel inspired to upgrade my packaging without breaking the bank. Thank you!
