Packaging Network
TL;DR
Packaging Network helps brands find and work with the right manufacturers for custom packaging solutions, providing end-to-end support from design through order management.
What's the backstory?
Founder Justin Christianson spent the beginning of his career as an operator scaling Africa’s first ecommerce unicorn, Jumia.
He then spent 10 years focused on packaging — first running distribution for major brands like Michael Kors and HelloFresh, and more recently as VP Manufacturing at Lumi and its eventual acquirer, Narvar.
Packaging Network takes the best parts of packaging platform Lumi and amplifies them under a different business model.
