Why We Upgraded the Packaging (and What It Solves)

Pain points: cracked handles, chipped rims, rattling in box → refunds & delays.

What Is Molded Pulp Packaging?

Plain-English definition: formed from recycled paper fiber; custom-fit trays cradle ceramics.


Benefits:

  • Shock absorption
  • Snug fit (no rattle)
  • Stackable
  • Curbside-recyclable in most paper streams.

“Fragile” = Items prone to breakage, such as glass and ceramics.

  • These require enhanced packaging, careful handling, and clear labeling to signal the need for special care during transport.

  • They are distinct from ordinary goods and even from less delicate “semi-fragile” items.

Say goodbye to shipping stress! Our Molded Pulp Packaging gives every mug a snug little seat, keeping it safe and cozy on the journey to your door. We’ve put our mugs through the ultimate shipping test — bumps, shakes, and tumbles — and they passed with flying colors. The result? Your mugs arrive in one piece, ready to sip, smile, and enjoy. 


Fewer breakages, fewer reships, happier customers.

How to Recycle Your Pulp Packaging (1-2-3)

  1. Flatten outer carton, place in paper/cardboard bin.
  2. Place a molded pulp tray with paper recycling (remove any non-paper labels/tape).
  3. Check local guidance if contamination or wetness is a concern. (General consumer guidance corroborates that molded pulp is typically accepted where paper/cardboard is collected.)
