Happy one year anniversary of Shipping Things 🎉Last year we had a crazy idea of making a show all about packaging. We did it and you watched it! Turns out, you love boxes, tape, and mailers as much as we do. Catch up on all 60+ episodes today.
🌱 We are very excited to announce the release of compostable poly mailers! The cost, printing capabilities, and flexibility rival standard poly — but they’re COMPOSTABLE. They can be composted at home or in an industrial facility.

📣Announcing an all-new show from Lumi — UNBOXING THINGS! A show all about unboxing things, but instead of taking about the product, we're diving deep into the design details that makes great packaging great. Catch the first episode now:
When paper and plastic, or even two types of plastic, are fused together, they are no longer recyclable. Stick to packaging pieces that are made entirely of paper or the one type of plastic. Playa bypasses plastic to ship in a suite of paper-based packaging.
The most impactful change you can make to improve your packaging sustainability is to use less.
