At Packsize, we have global attention on the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Each day provides new information for our collective businesses and communities. Our teams are closely monitoring daily developments and are taking the appropriate steps consistent with the protocols provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
I know that first and foremost on your mind is making sure you are taking the appropriate precautions to care for yourself, your family, employees, and others around you. Their health, safety, and welfare are a priority for us all.
No doubt you are also focused on taking care of your businesses and your customers. I had the wonderful opportunity this past week to present at Modex 2020, the largest manufacturing and supply chain expo of the year. During that time, I was able to discuss with many industry leaders our shared concerns involving the impact COVID-19 may have on all businesses. Upon returning, I would like to share with you the measures Packsize is taking to ensure resiliency within our supply chain.
As a global manufacturing technology company, Packsize has extensive experience in planning for and responding to a wide variety of situations. We remain unwaveringly committed to supporting each of you, especially during these uncertain times.
This is a very dynamic situation. Packsize may have further updates as new information becomes available. We are happy to report that no Packsize employee has been infected with COVID-19 to date.
In continued health and wellness,
Hanko Kiessner | CEO — Packsize International LLC

Dear [Company Name]:
I have been quietly hating the excess packaging waste I regularly receive with my online orders for a long time and decided to write.
On [date], I placed an order for [the product]. Unfortunately, upon receiving it on [date], (select from the following list your issue with the packaging and delete the rest):
– The packaging didn’t fit. It was much too large or the wrong size for the product I received.
– Because the packaging was too large, there was a lot of additional packaging material that I had to throw away. It is important to me that your company and others start finding eco-friendly or biodegradable alternatives. I would appreciate it if you would stop sending packaging peanuts!
– Because the packaging was the wrong size, my product arrived damaged. Please confirm that you will arrange for [the item] to be collected or will provide information on how to return it at no cost.
Maybe it’s time to rethink how much packaging your products require to arrive safely and without damage.
I hope you will value my recent experience with your company. I look forward to receiving your response.
Sincerely,
