We recycle everything: we shred for packing, we save boxes for shipping, we recycle our metals and build our own products. My problem is giftwrap! My customers love it (we don't use bows). And bags for their purchases, they love them! We always ask if they need a bag or wrap and 90% of the time it is "yes". How can I get my customers off the paper dependency and do something unusual in its place? Not to mention the amount of paper boxes we use...anyone have suggestions? I am only interested in thoughtful suggestions since I am a reputable store of long standing reputation. Thank you! I am a jewelry manufacturer and shop owner.
