We package every order with care to make sure your products arrive safely. Depending on the item and where it’s going, we use materials like paper or plastic mailers, cardboard boxes, and protective inserts such as foam pouches or bubble wrap when needed.
All apparel orders shipped from our in-house facilities now use post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic bags. In North America, where most of our merchants and customers are located, we’ve fully switched to packaging with 90–100% PCR plastic content.
Common packaging materials
- Poly mailers (white or grey): Made from at least 70% PCR plastic.
- Clear inside bags: At least 30% PCR, used to group multiple items.
- Cardboard boxes: Used for fragile or larger items.
- Eco mailers in Australia: Compostable mailers with clear composting instructions.
- Bubble envelopes: Used for specific products like notebooks and pin button sets.
- Stay-flat envelopes: Provide extra support for flat items like posters and stickers.
Note: PCR plastics come from recycled everyday items like plastic bags and wrapping film.
