WHO YOU SERVE OR SELL TO

Small online sellers and other brands allowed to use that type of packaging

THE GAP YOU GET PAID TO CLOSE

Factories may have perfectly good leftover packaging in amounts too small for them to keep. Small brands pay more per piece to avoid ordering thousands.

THE INSIDE SCOOP

Small brands gladly pay more per box to avoid ordering five thousand. Your job is to make a leftover lot feel dependable by proving the size, material, cleanliness, count, and absence of somebody else's branding.

THE MONEY-MAKING GAP

Why somebody pays you
