I Used To Be
You.

Hey — I'm Kevin. And if you're reading this, there's a decent chance you're in the same spot I was a few years ago: you've got a sauce you're proud of, you're trying to figure out the shipping thing, and nothing you've found quite fits.

I had my own hot sauce company. I loved making it. I did not love shipping it. I needed small-batch custom slot boxes — the kind that hold each bottle snugly so it doesn't rattle around and arrive damaged. Simple enough request, right?

Turns out, not really.

The options I found either arrived at my door beat up and dented — which didn't exactly inspire confidence — or they were so complicated to assemble that I needed a diagram and twenty minutes I didn't have. Most of them required minimums I couldn't justify for a small operation. So I did the only thing that made sense: I designed my own.

They worked. My bottles shipped safely. My customers were happy. And then, honestly, my hot sauce company didn't make it. That's a hard thing to say, but it's the truth. The business wound down, and I was left with a warehouse full of really good boxes and no sauce to put in them.

I started selling the boxes just to move them. I figured other sauce makers might have the same problem I did. And they did. Orders came in. Then came the messages: “Do you have one for a 4oz bottle?” “What about a 12-pack?” “Can I get these in white?”

That's when I realized — this wasn't just me getting rid of inventory. This was actually something people needed. So I leaned in. I started developing more configurations. I built a real catalog. I made it easy to order small quantities at a fair price.
