Review: Uline.com

Although the Papermart moss pouches won by a mile, thank you for all your votes and comments, I ended up ordering the Uline boxes. Why you ask? Well a. I wasn't totally sold on the jute texture of the pouches and b. Papermart would not send a sample so I could make sure the green was a good match (although they did give me a PMS color as a reference which was very nice of them), I wasn't thrilled about paying shipping and then possibly having to return them. And finally c. I had ordered this great paper a few months ago and wanted to find a use for it. It will be cut into strips and make a decorative band around the boxes.




I felt like the boxes gave me more creative freedom and now I don't have to waste my $30 worth of wrapping paper. The boxes were also super cheap, $12 for a box of 100, and I can use the remaining boxes (we only need about 70 for the favors) as take home boxes for the desserts. I am slowly getting more efficient and practical in my purchasing!

So I highly recommend ordering from Uline. They sent me samples on two different occasions, free of charge, and my order came within two days. Granted they are based about 45 minutes from where I live but I imagine all orders are shipped right away. They have an online live chat feature which I love, there is no minimum to order or fee to set up an account. They have gift boxes in all sizes, take out boxes, gable boxes, retail bags, tissue paper, all perfect for favors, out of town boxes, take home containers, etc.
