For eight years I made cookies, starting in my home kitchen, expanding to a factory then outsourcing before selling my business in 2025. My biggest stumbling block to profit and baking happily was packaging. Jaw sealers, L-sealers, flow wrappers, infill, inners, outers... the endless list of packing nightmares. I'm here to help. Hopefully you can help other people out too with your experience. I started selling online in the 90's, everything from underwater camera equipment to pallets of cookies have left my house or factory at some point. Ask questions, share experiences and let us know what you sell and what worked or didn't work. Share photos of your workspace and your packaging too.

Hello everyone, Nice to meet you all

You are all very welcome! Share photos of your packaging and tell us about your products (including where to buy them) in the "Show Off Your Packaging" category. If you know of great suppliers, add them to the "Suppliers" category and if you have sales and marketing questions or tips, add them to the "Sales and Marketing" category. For everything else, packaging questions and discussions, post them here in "General Discussion." I"m thrilled you're here and can't wait to see where you are on your e-commerce journey.
