packaging station tour, organizing my packing closet, eco-friendly shipping for small business

[@sylvanramble1757]

Thank you for sharing. Your shipping station is very organized and cute. I got some great ideas from watching.

[@MissChuu_]

I think one could customise the white tissue paper by stamping in it, cute little poops would be hilarious 😂

[@TanaMakes]

Hahaha. I've seen some shops do that but that's too much work 😅🤣

[@khrissdumingagnonvlogs5066]

Yeeey!!! New vlog is uploaded.. i missed you tana, its been a while.. God Bless always. 🙏

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! Missed you too 💕

[@laraesavoie6531]

Great video, loved how you explained where you got your supplies and how you found the especially effective. Lots of helpful ideas after watching this!

[@marie-low-stresslife7374]

It’s amazing to see that everything in your packing area has been carefully thought through and optimised! 😊 It was very soothing to hear you describe and explain everything, thanks for sharing with us Tana! 💛

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! Years of experience packing orders definitely helped me learn how to organize things so that they're more streamline and so that if I ever have someone help me pack orders, it can be easy for them too 😊. Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed! 🥰💜

[@miaolmeda9428]

Tysm for showing us this video! I’m super lost as to where to look for some reliable packaging and I love that all you have is recyclable. 💕 Love your packing corner!

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! Glad I could help and I appreciate you watching 🥰💜

Hey Tana! Did you feel that you sold more last year around Christmas and through out the year because of covid (and everyone shopping online) vs other years? My sister and I opened a small etsy shop last May and are still so new to it all :) thanks!

[@TanaMakes]

Hey! The year as a whole I ended up selling about the same as 2019 because I didn't get to do all of the beer festivals/events I usually attend. So technically I did make more online sales, but it ended up just making up for lost money. I did see many many businesses make tons of money during the holidays because they made pandemic and covid themed items and ornaments, but I didn't feel right doing that.

[@LifeIsAPageTurner]

Hhiiii! Glad you took a break! Do you happen to know which mug press your mom got y’all?! I’ve been thinking about adding in mugs! I also love the set up. I need to put my tissue paper somewhere easier to grab.

[@brendazjourney6210]

Yahoo! Happy to see you back! So inspiring to me! Missed you dearly. But never fear to take breaks. They are very healthy for you and your shop. Blessings for you and your family in all you do.

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you so much! I missed posting but the break was definitely what I needed 😍. Much love 💕

[@jesuslovesfamily]

Awesome! What size are your "thank you" cards and business cards? Thank you and great ideas

[@TanaMakes]

The business cards are 2.5 inch squares and the thank you cards are printed on an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper that is then cut into four ☺️

[@megandeleon8422]

The Home Edit did this really cool storage for crinkle paper that I hope to incorporate into my packing station. They used giant vertical rattan baskets and filled them with crinkle paper.

[@sherryparr8782]

You are so organized. I loved this video🤗

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 🥰

[@BritgirlTX]

I saw that you posted and I clicked quick! Your vlogs are so calming. I am saving up for my Glowforge. I don't think I can manage a Pro right now ... but a Plus maybe ... then make all the things and get my Pro at a later date! Please continue to make these vlogs ... Have a wonderful day! 🌸🌺

[@TanaMakes]

Aw, thank you so much! So happy you're enjoying the vlogs. Very excited for you to get a Glowforge soon 😍. Any of them are still great. Hope you've had a lovely weekend! 💕

[@tessacoleman4441]

Oh gosh Tana. I love this video. 🥰 I hope your feeling refreshed after your social media break. ❤ This video have me a lot of ideas for revamping my office space. We're upgrading our laser and have to move into a different space. So I was a bit clueless how to organize it.

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you so much! Happy you enjoyed and definitely feeling refreshed. Congrats on getting a new laser and hope you're able to get your space exactly the way you want it 😍

[@BlueSkies7]

Hmmmmm....not sure how I missed this one because I thought I was caught up but I guess not. Thanks so much for sharing this info.

[@TanaMakes]

Haha, no worries! Hope it helps inspire your desk 🥰💜

[@EllieandGinger]

We are moving soon and I'll finally have my own studio space and I've already said to myself "ok....I have to have a packaging station like Tana has" lol it just makes so much sense...

[@TanaMakes]

Hahaha. It's definitely quite a luxury to have a space completely dedicated to it. I remember the pain of the days of having to do literally everything on one small desk lol

[@MrsSmith962]

This is goals! I love your videos!

[@CelilasArt]

i love your vlogs 💕 your voice is so calming and you explain everything in so much detail! i wish you all the best for your business!

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and glad you're enjoying the vlogs 💕

[@joyb3541]

I agree

[@onecraftycookie]

I print on 110lb card stock all the time.. Nice packing station girl

[@TanaMakes]

65lb cardstock is pretty thin so I'm really surprised some printers even struggle with that. Mine usually gets a little jammed with 110lb though 😬. Thank you!

[@seyresos6662]

Wow!! I love this and your studio! 🤍

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! 🥰

[@Hshxhxbsjskzn]

Can you make a video talking about how to do cheap shipping cost, while maintaining secure protection for the item? I’m new to this and the more bulking the package are the more it cost for shipping, but at the same time the shipping price scare customers away, how do I promote cheap shipping price and still not losing money?

[@TanaMakes]

I can definitely do a video about packaging and calculating shipping soon! 🥰

[@Hshxhxbsjskzn]

@@TanaMakes Thank so much, ur videos always inspires me

[@nickikeen9880]

Really loved this. So good to see u again but I hope you enjoyed ur well deserved break! Ur so inspirational. I'm trying to pluck up the courage to start my etsy shop but I keep bottling it....but your videos help! I wish you could come and design my craft room! 😅

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you so much! You need to just go for it! Starting is always the hardest part but you have to realize that no one really knows what they're doing when they're starting out and they learn the majority of it just by starting and doing the darn thing! Nothing better than getting experience 🥰

[@nickikeen9880]

Hehe bless u. That's good advice! May I ask, do u think it's good to have a separate business bank account before starting? Xx

[@TanaMakes]

@@nickikeen9880 it's good to eventually have one just so it's easier to keep track of money coming in and out, but definitely not a requirement. You just have to make sure you do a good job at tracking your expenses/keeping receipts so that you know what you spent and earned when it comes time to do your taxes.

[@nickikeen9880]

That's really good to know. Thank you so much 🥰 xx

[@ginevra4212]

Loved this tour 😍 I was waiting for it😃😃

Thank You! Tana...Great video...Can I ask where you got the shelf unit that holds all your paper sheets please? The grey looking one..Thank You!

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! I got it from Home Goods which is why I couldn't link it 😔.

[@Bikeshorts960]

Does stainless steel mean it won’t tarnish?

[@TanaMakes]

That's correct.

[@danaevs2232]

Is stainless steel jewelry waterproof?

[@TanaMakes]

It can get wet and won't tarnish if it's solid stainless steel. It's like the same material kitchen equipment is made from.

[@jacquelinesown6675]

Great video

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you!

[@dearaurora_marie4394]
