Whether you’re mailing online orders or packaging items for local pickup, good shipping supplies make all the difference. You want your herbs, tinctures, and handmade goods to arrive safely, look professional, and reflect the care you put into your work. Below are the items I order through Amazon to make that process simple and reliable.

📦 Mailers & Boxes

• Kraft bubble mailers – great for smaller items like soaps or salves

• Padded envelopes – extra protection for fragile glass bottles

• Small shipping boxes – for larger or multiple-item orders

• Flat-rate USPS boxes – handy for heavier shipments

🧻 Packing Materials

• Kraft paper rolls – my go-to for wrapping jars or filling space

• Paper shred filler – looks nice and cushions products

• Biodegradable packing peanuts – an eco-friendlier alternative to plastic

• Bubble wrap – necessary for protecting glass products

🪶 Labels & Tape

• Thermal shipping labels – save time and ink if you print a lot of orders

• Clear packing tape – strong seal for boxes

• “Fragile” stickers – optional but a nice visual cue for carriers

💌 Extras That Make It Personal

• Thank-you cards or inserts – simple touch that customers love

• Business cards – great for including in each package

• Small dried herbs or sample bags – optional, but adds a thoughtful touch

🧰 Helpful Tools

• Postal scale – ensures accurate postage

• Tape gun – saves time sealing boxes

• Scissors and box cutter – keep one set dedicated to packing

I keep my packing station stocked and organized with small bins for each type of supply. It helps streamline the process and makes packaging orders feel less stressful, especially during busier seasons.
