  • Insightful but production could be better

    I’m not a big fan of conversational podcasts as there tends to a a lot of waffling with little substance, and unfortunately this podcast is not excluded from that category. Still has some nice insights.

  • Outstanding Podcast Filled with Useful Info

    I've been listening to Packaging Unboxd for over a year and I always get a lot of value from Evelio and his guests. Packaging can be confusing, and Evelio and his guests explain things based on actual experience, not theory. I would recommend starting with Ep. 78: Biggest Packaging Design Mistakes Everyone Makes. There is so much there that I learned and that I plan to use for years to come.

It’s up to us to (respectfully) pose questions to the brands that will hopefully prompt them to make efforts toward operating in a more sustainable manner. As a brand owner, I weigh my options with an eye on sustainability—and then I must weigh those options against my budget. It’s not easy, and the outcome... more
