Pakible

@nwkwan this is dopeeeee, so many possibilities :)

@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!!!

@nwkwan thanks for answering!

@nadomars lol. im using this :)

@surheeho Thanks! We're hoping to have poly "bubble" mailer options available next. Probably a few months out, but definitely coming soon.

@chase_ortega Yes! We def need those.

@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.

@chase_ortega Good to know, thanks for clarifying!

@lrettig Poly mailers are also called Poly Bags. Many e-commerce clothing companies use them. Specifically, our 10x13 can fit a couple shirts, or a pair of jeans comfortably.
