This is a great idea.<p>A huge part of the success over the last 10 or 15 years in the cafe and coffee industry has been about branding and design.<p>Starbucks knows this: bright green straws, red holiday cups, etc. You can see a Starbucks cup from 100 feet away.<p>Why should Starbucks, Blue Bottle, Coffee Bean, and Dunkin all capitalize on this, while a lot of the mom n pop shops that make the best coffee are serving their brews in 16 oz paper cups that they buy in bulk from Costco?

While I understand purpose of of these boxes, I can&#x27;t stop thinking &quot;what a waste&quot;.<p>I am private labeling several products and have to do the same, because customers would not accept something in simple reusable zip-lock as something serious...<p>So here we are - customers shopping for most value for their buck, but yet - almost no one would by product without fancy packaging.

Awesome looking site and a real opportunity I think.<p>My ex-wife is a cupcake and deco cake maker and I sent her the link, she is really interested and will be contacting you guys soon.<p>Best of luck to you!

Not that I buy many cake boxes, but the base unit cost, unprinted &#x2F; coated seems pricey? $1.32 for a box, we must be taking really pricey cupcakes?!

This seems very similar to Pakible (YC W15) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.ycombinator.com&#x2F;pakible-yc-w15-makes-it-dead-simple-for-businesses-to-design-ship-packaging" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.ycombinator.com&#x2F;pakible-yc-w15-makes-it-dead-si...</a>

This seems like a niche that has been ripe for occupying for a while. Packaging for products has become more and more ornate and is a design job that needs a full team. Good luck to Georgette.

My girlfriend owns a fragrance company and it&#x27;s crazy how hard it is to find a good box manufacturer. The minimum quantities are often too high for a startup like hers (5k minimum for each product), or a place can do rigid boxes but not another style she needs, or they mess up an entire order because everything is still done over the phone.<p>It seems like an outrageously stressful process and I&#x27;ve been wondering why someone hasn&#x27;t been doing it better. Glad to know someone finally is.

Amazing! I think Georgette Packaging can be an enabler for smaller businesses to cost effectively address some of these branding issues
