we helped reposition KacePack from a cannabis packaging company to an established consciously, creative packaging brand driven by sustainability & innovation
The co-founders of KacePack™, Doug Irwin and Tom Allen, are fourth generation toy makers. In 2014, Doug built toys, packaged in thoughtfully designed boxes, for Warner Bros. and Electronic Arts (EA). By 2017, they began partnering with cannabis brands and sold their first million flower jars by 2018. In 2021, we were approached by KacePack™ to help reshape their brand identity. The company wanted to elevate their brand from a cannabis packaging supplier to a conscious packaging brand offering freshness redefining, compliant products.
brand values
We refreshed the brand guidelines, defined the brand's values & product's value props supported by visual elements, produced brand photography and determined the brand's core messaging.
KacePack™ Future Generations Initiative
We learned the complexities of sustainability in the packaging industry and helped KacePack™ to define the language around their approach to sustainability, KacePack™ Future Generations Intiative. We produced several blogs on topics including the cannabis industry, supply chain and sustainability between 2021-22.
"We engaged Michelle because we wanted to transform our website from its original simplified form to something more in-depth, something that spoke to our brand values and engaged our audience - she delivered."
stories
We produced blog content, set-up & managed social media and e-mail marketing campaigns between 2021-22.

Are bioplastics better for the environment?
Only 9% of all plastic waste ever produced has been recycled. About 12% has been incinerated, while the rest — 79% — has accumulated in landfills, dumps, or the natural environment.
With such eco-anxiety-inducing statistics, it’s no wonder that brands and consumers alike are actively looking for alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. A collective awakening has spurred consumers to demand less plastic waste for the sake of our oceans.
Combatting supply chain delays for cannabis brands
You’ve got your design, selected your materials, tested and approved for local compliance and you’re ready to get your cannabis packaging into production.
