UpCircle
UpCircle is an innovative cosmetics brand that transforms used coffee grounds into eco-friendly skincare products. Their mission is to combat unnecessary waste while delivering top-tier beauty solutions. When they approached us, they already had a loyal following drawn to their sustainable ethos and natural formulas. However, they faced a unique challenge: their products rely on leftover coffee grounds, making them a standout in an otherwise conventional skincare market.
UpCircle wanted fresh packaging that would reflect their commitment to sustainability, with an urgent requirement for a low minimum order quantity (MOQ) right before the Christmas rush. No other supplier was willing to handle such a small, time-sensitive run, leaving their holiday launch in jeopardy. Beyond the tight schedule, they aimed to maintain their eco-friendly values by incorporating recycled or recyclable materials into the design.
PackLion stepped in just in time, offering fast lead times and flexible MOQs that allowed UpCircle to roll out their holiday skincare bundles without delay. We matched their sustainability criteria by selecting FSC®-certified paper, plastic-free finishes, and an option for carbon-neutral production, ensuring each box supported UpCircle’s eco-conscious brand story. Additionally, our built-in cost estimator simplified pricing, cutting out weeks of back-and-forth.
