Kiwi Crates New Box

Apr 4, 2013 / By Marcella

Just in time for Earth Day—we’ve redesigned our box!

All about our new box

  • Our new box is much more eco-friendly. Producing, packing, and shipping this box uses much less paper and packaging.
  • The manufacturer of our new box only uses cardboard produced from sustainable forests, as defined by Sustainable Forestry Initiative. (Sustainable Forestry Initiative is a nonprofit, international organization that promotes responsible forest management. We’re happy to provide our manufacturer’s approval ID number on request.)
  • We’ve changed our box’s inside, too. We’ve removed the lid sticker and closing sticker, as well as the adhesive associated with both. This helps our box to use less material.

To encourage our subscribers to get more use out of the box before recycling it, our packaging is working much harder!

Instead of a lid sticker and tissue paper, you’ll now be receiving a fun box insert, illustrated with this month’s theme. The reverse side of the box insert is now printed with a Kiwi playmate and friend kids can cut out and play with. On the insert’s sides, you’ll see more fun facts about this month’s theme…along with as a silly knock-knock joke to share.

The inside of the box is printed with an outdoor scene. Cutting off the top flap turns the box into a cozy play area for the paper Kiwi and friend, to encourage imaginative play before the box is recycled.

We really appreciate all the great feedback that led us to make this exciting change, and we look forward to seeing all the new uses our subscribers find for their new boxes!

  1. 2020 KiwiCo Look Back: A Year of Creativity & Resilience

    It’s been a long year of unexpected challenges and changes, but through it all, the pint-sized problem solvers in our KiwiCo community have inspired us with their creativity and resilience. As we hunkered down at home at the start of quarantine, we shared a series of fun challenges as a way to stay connected with one another. With each challenge came clever, colorful, and curious creations that not only made us smile but also pushed us to work harder and think bigger. Thank you for sharing these moments of delight and wonder with us! As we round out 2020, we’re celebrating the creativity of our kid community and looking forward to another 12 months of inspiration in 2021.

  3. Introducing our first Kindness Crate in partnership with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation

    I’ll start with a personal confession: one of my (many) struggles as a parent is how to involve my kids more in community service and raise their awareness of causes and issues in the world around them. From talking to friends in our community and all the other parents on our team, I know I’m not alone. We all want to raise our kids to be kind, concerned and empathetic citizens – but the actual execution of getting involved is so daunting! How do I find a cause that they would understand and find relevant, a volunteer activity that’s appropriate (and welcoming) for kids, and fit it into our busy schedules??
