Shipping Supply, LLC moves to New Facility in Waukesha, WI

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Shipping Supply, LLC has moved into a new facility located in Waukesha, WI.  Our new facility is much larger, which will allow us to add more shipping supplies and continue to grow.  Our new corporate contact information has changed to the following:

Shipping Supply, LLC
1416 Poplar Drive Suite F
Waukesha, WI 53188

Phone: 1-262-547-3440
Toll Free: 1-877-501-PACK

Hopefully lightning strikes twice as BuyCostumes.com, the world’s largest internet based retailer of costumes and party supplies, previously occupied the facility.  They have since moved into a 360,000 sq. ft. facility in New Berlin, WI.

Eco Information for Shipping Supplies

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Two questions we commonly receive from our customers are…

1. Are your shipping supplies made with recycled content?
2. Can the items I’m purchasing be recycled?

Those are great questions and we certainly appreciate our customer’s commitment to protecting the environment. With that said, a few months ago we created the “Eco Information Chart” that lists all of our product categories and answers the above mentioned questions.

The Eco Information Chart shows what our products are “Made from” (recycled content, post consumer waste, or conventional product).  The chart also provides information on disposal options titled “After you are done” (100% recyclable, biodegradable and compostable).  On the bottom of the chart we have included definitions in effort to help our customers understand unfamiliar terms and processes.
