MADE IN USA Packaging
Can socially-conscious packaging unite people? You bet! Americans are clamoring for American-made artisan packaging. “Buying American” invokes meaningful impact to customers who know plenty of unemployed folks in their community. Distant Village is proudly selling beautiful American-made sustainable packaging handmade by local artisans. As fervent supporters of local communities worldwide, the Distant Village line of American manufactured sustainable boxes, bags, and labels are quite popular.
Made in USA is cool
Made in USA is trending. The Made Movement is one group that has identified quality Made in USA products and promotes them widely. On even the largest scale, companies like Starbucks have come to market new niche products to support the American Economy, such as their Indivisible coffee line.
How did this Made in USA movement start? This is likely a trend initiated by America’s local artisanal small businesses, as well as unemployed folks who starting making homemade products using their knowhow. American consumers want to help, and love to support American small businesses. Distant Village is doing their part on the packaging side to provide American small business with the best quality handmade packaging to be found. Distant Village’s American-made packaging is ideal for handcraft jewelers, specialty coffee roasters, artisan gourmet food distributors, and more.
Choosing packaging consistent with the message of American-made products is essential. Promoting American-made products with packaging made in USA enables us to unite in helping Americans get back to work.
The Distant Village collection of American packaging provides several new ways for brand owners to show their support.
Enabling Stronger Communities
Distant Village has a wide variety of USA-made boxes, bags, and sticker labels which are the best found anywhere in the world, including 100% recycled, composted, recyclable, natural, and organic packaging. These original and innovative packaging solutions enable small businesses to buy responsibly, consistent with their values, and to support Americans by using American-made packaging. Furthermore, handcrafted packaging from local communities supports other small businesses and sustains communities.
What’s your bag?
As an example of the ingenuity of the Distant Village Made In USA line, we’ve figured out how to work with a local non-profit business to make packaging from coffee bean sacks. Using reclaimed coffee sacks, we produce boxes, bags and accessory items like gift cardholder envelopes from upcycled burlap collected from local American coffee roasters. We’re continuously developing new products from this upcycled burlap and welcome ideas, inquiries and requests.
