Blanc Creatives

Sylvacurl has been our packaging secret-weapon for the past few years. It’s beautiful, has a delicate and pleasant smell, very cost-effective, and above all it is an impressive presentation piece that our customers talk about very often. It handles the weight of our steel cookware with ease, it can be burned for disposal or dumped in a compost, and Jim does a great job eliminating the dust that often comes with excelsior or other wood-based packing materials. In short, we hope it never goes away, we don’t know what we will do otherwise. keep it coming!
