Here at Knotty Tie Co, your feedback shapes our journey. Many of you asked for less packaging, and we listened! We're thrilled to introduce flexible packaging options that align with your needs, reduce waste, and further our commitment to sustainability.
Whether you're an organization ordering in bulk with a focus on cutting waste, or you are ordering for your wedding party and need beautifully packaged, gift-ready orders, we’ve got a solution for you. You spoke, we delivered.
We know that packaging preferences aren’t one-size-fits-all. Some customers want individual gift-worthy packaging, while others prioritize minimal, eco-friendly alternatives. That’s why we’re offering two tailored choices that are designed to meet your needs:
- Minimal Packaging: A low-waste option to reduce your environmental impact.
- Individual Kraft Gift Boxes: Thoughtfully designed for effortless, ready-to-gift presentation.
Now all orders can choose the packaging option that works best for you. Whether you're simplifying your bulk orders or preparing standout gifts, here’s everything you need to know!

Minimal packaging details
Small orders will ship in 100% recycled honeycomb paper padded mailers. These mailers are made from FSC-certified kraft paper, offering a plastic-free, compostable, and recyclable alternative to bubble mailers while protecting your items during transit.

Larger orders that can not fit in a mailer will be bulk-packaged in 100% recycled plastic bags and a sturdy cardboard shipping box. These recycled bags are a blend of 50-75% post-consumer and 25-50% post-industrial recycled content. This blend not only reduces the need for virgin plastic but also provides durability and clarity, ensuring products are well-protected and visible within the bag. The recycled poly bags are recyclable at thin-film drop-off centers, and the cardboard box can be recycled through standard recycling pickup.

Benefits of minimal packaging
- Lower shipping volume means fewer emissions during transport.
- Reduced overall packaging waste.
- No additional cost to you.

Individual packaging details
Each product is carefully packaged in our 6" x 4.5" branded kraft gift boxes, designed specifically for each product and creating a beautiful unboxing experience. Made from FSC-certified recycled kraft paper, they’re recyclable, biodegradable, and plastic-free. All gift boxes are placed inside a sturdy cardboard shipping box to ensure your gifts arrive in pristine condition. Both the gift boxes and shipping box can be recycled through standard recycling pick up.

Benefits of individual kraft boxes
- Instantly gift-ready with no additional prep needed.
- Adds a special unboxing experience to your products.
- A small extra cost of just $0.50 per item that saves you time and effort.
