Packaging for Curb Side Pick Up & Delivery
It’s time we consider plastic bags a thing of the past! A tote bag can be a great option for packaging up your online orders for curb side pick-up or delivery in a sustainable way. It doubles up as souvenir of your customers experience with your brand, and creates further opportunity for use in the grocery store, dog walk, or hike.
At Witly, we offer all sorts of tote bags. Even those capable of carrying growlers, bottles, and cans!
