A blog post starting with Ziggy Marley may seem off topic, but no worries, it will be about packaging.

Because any company or brand that’s serious about adopting sustainable business practices will have already integrated environmentally conscious attitudes into not only their back office and customer-facing operations but also into their core brand value proposition. Similarly, these companies understand that customers and business partners are becoming more sophisticated about how they interpret any company’s marketing and brand messages that highlight sustainability. The bar is now … Read More

At Xela Pack, we occasionally ask our customers to contribute by giving us testimonials about our packaging, or by answering questionnaires that help us better understand and serve them. One thing I’ve noticed is that the companies that profess the greatest enthusiasm for our packaging are also usually the ones that do the most creative things with the samples we provide.
This summer, Xela Pack produced samples for Pure Science and their Jack Black Authentic and Original product line. The … Read More
