Frequently Asked Questions

How much more expensive is sustainable packaging?

This is a nuanced question that is specific to individual scenarios. Our most cost-effective film is our D-38 Recycled LDPE film, which can often be even cheaper than virgin plastic. We recommend chatting with an expert or getting a quote today!

What are typical lead times like?

All stock packaging ships same-day from San Diego, California. Domestic shipping is free and carbon-neutral, and takes around 2-5 days depending on shipping destination. International options are available as well. 

For custom orders (5,000 MOQ), current lead times are ~35-65 days depending on our production schedule and transit times. Rush options are available.
