Geami Sustainable Packing Materials

This is a cool concept and a great idea. The front page of their site has a nice little video that explains how the system works. It's basically recycled/recyclable paper, shipped in rolls, that is then expanded into 3-D honeycomb as you wrap your product for shipping in it.

It replaces foam sheets, plastic bubble wrap, and foam pellets and eliminates the need for filler (my favorite filler has always been popcorn).

So check out Geami and see if it's right for your small business. Their website doesn't list pricing and I doubt this system will be realistic in most mom-and-pop, home-based businesses. You never know, though.
