Congrats on an amazing box launch! I've been watching for a few months and really enjoy your content! I'm wondering if there might be ways to streamline the packing so it's not as labor intensive... Like writing the names on the cards before hand so you don't have to stop to write each one..... Cutting the tissue down to size at you don't have you spend so much time folding it or even eliminating it in your next box.. Pre fold the bags again so you don't have to stop. Then lay out as many boxes will fit on your table.. Fill them all at once...add in card and get a tape Despenser that sits on your desk to make it easier to close up each box. My body literally hurt watching how much work this was for you and I hope that you can figure out some systems next time to make it easier! What a huge undertaking. You should feel incredibly proud of your accomplishments!
Thank you so much! I’ll definitely look into seeing if those make it quicker and easier! I’m always experimenting to see which ways work best and with this being my first time doing the boxes, it definitely gave me some ideas for what to change going forward and your suggestions are definitely going to be super helpful! 💕
Hey Emily, cute video! A tip for packing the boxes - when I worked in a high end restaurant, the manager had us set the tables one utensil at a time. So we’d go round with a container of dinner knives and place one at every setting, then a fork, then a spoon etc. I questioned him one day saying it was a dumb way to do things and he said over the years they’d timed it and it saved a MASSIVE amount of time setting up for a service. If you have the space, try laying out maybe 10 boxes and adding all the totes, then all the scrunchies etc. I reckon you’ll find it goes much quicker ☺️
I got home late, but I got my box! 🎉 I'm excited! I will open it tomorrow and take pics. I was SO hoping to see you pack up mine, but alas it wasn't meant to be, LOL. I'm so dramatic. I'm so proud of you, Emily, it's a lot of work. Thanks for adding the extra confetti stars. It was a beautiful touch.
Aww if you end up getting another box let me know and I’ll make sure to film it for you! ☺️ and thank you so much! I just want this box to be so special for everyone, I’m hoping everybody likes it 🥹💖
This was such a cool video to watch! My mom and I have been considering starting a subscription box and it’s rlly encouraging seeing you pack them start to finish! 💞🫶🏻
How exciting. I was so glad I was able to snag a mystery bundle. Sad I missed this sub box but so looking forward to the next one. Thx for sharing your talent.
You should do an assembly line with multiple boxes open at once and go down the line adding that one item to each until each box has that item then you start with the next item. I have a lot of kids and grandkids and that’s how holiday bags and baskets get done faster
I still can’t believe it either to be honest 🤣 and thank you so much! Definitely been sitting a lot the past few days but it gives me time to dive into creating designs for my fall launch 😍
Oh and maybe another idea: lay the table full with empty boxes and fill all of them with the items (the way you have it now but the products on the floor or behind you and the table full with boxes). That way you will be able to do more boxes at the same time (I guess, depands on what suits you personally as well).
@@emilycromwelldesigns yeah I understand, maybe seperate the orders first in waitinglist order and other orders 🤷🏼♀️, I don't know, I'm only guessing at this point 😅
Loved seeing behind the scenes of a subscription box, never knew what all went into it. You have mentioned in some of your videos you took classes does your eBook cover where you go to take the courses? Sorry if this is something you are not wanting to share.
How cool!!! 🎉 but how on earth do you keep track of what box goes to who if you put the shipping label on last, after you’ve taped them and what not? 😶 So happy for you!!!
Emily, would pre folding and placing your tote bags in a bag take up any more space in the boxes? It would make things go a lot faster when packing your boxes. Just wondering. I’m new to you channel and everything looks so bright and fun. One of my good friends is a librarian and i think she would love some of your products. I’ll have to order her some for her and her daughter.
The way that I fold my totebags so I can storage them is as following (I hope that I can explain it well enough): I lay the design on the table so that the back of the bag is facing you, then I take the handles and lay them on top of the back of the bag (just flat, I only fold the handles to the size of the bag when the handles are longer than the bag itself). Next I pick the left and right sides and fold them towards the middle (but not fully, I would follow the size of your box) and at last you fold the bottom of the bag up to the top (or maybe you fold it in three, depands on the size of the box as well)... Maybe this could be a folding option for you is after this box you are still looking for one. ps. If you would like photo's of the explanation, I can makes those and sent them to you in your Instagram dm
Thank you! ☺️💖 And I do that because I’ve shipped notepads in the past without being in a cello sleeve and some got bent and damaged by moving around in a box 😬
Unfortunately I’m unable to have anyone outside from my household come in to help because of my chronic illness I get sick easily so I can’t be near anyone without a mask on, but I’ve been looking into getting some VA work done to help clear some time up so I can focus more on designing and things ☺️

This was such a cool video to watch! My mom and I have been considering starting a subscription box and it’s rlly encouraging seeing you pack them start to finish! 💞🫶🏻
Stack the boxes with the cover open .

Lol!! That's so funny 😅 I had complications folding tote bags too!!!
They’re definitely not the easiest things to fold! 🤣🩷
Congratulations Emily! You should be so proud of yourself and all of your hard work.
Thank you so very much! I appreciate that! 💖

I tried doing that for awhile but it actually made it more confusing for me 🤣 but it’s a good tip!

This was so awesome!!! I'm so happy for you and can't believe you got that all done in three days!!! Relax!!!
I still can’t believe it either to be honest 🤣 and thank you so much! Definitely been sitting a lot the past few days but it gives me time to dive into creating designs for my fall launch 😍
Amazing video 🎉, you made it so much fun!…Congrats on all your success!!! 👏
Why thank you!! I appreciate it! 🥰

I watch to the end. Your box looks amazing, Emily. I hope you can do international shipping. Thx for the video :)
Thank you so much for watching! ☺️ when I announce the theme, the box is available in my Etsy shop for international! 💕

It’s definitely a lot of work! No the ebook doesn’t cover sub boxes, but I took the launch your box course!
How cool!!! 🎉 but how on earth do you keep track of what box goes to who if you put the shipping label on last, after you’ve taped them and what not? 😶
So happy for you!!!
I write the order number on the box! ☺️
Living your “dream” 🎉🎉 yay!! 😊

Thanks for the suggestion!
Make leg extenders for when packing on those shorter tables
Just got a delivery of table risers! ☺️
I'm super behind on watching! But, I think that silly girl who bought 3 boxes me LOL
Haha maybeeeee 🙃🩷
I got mine today and I love it!❤😊
Ahhh YAY!!! That arrived so fast too! 😍💕
Might be time to hire an assistant! 😊
I’ve been trying to talk my mom into coming on full time 🤣😅
Girl you need to put risers under those packing tables. My back hurts just from watching you work.
I lost mine 😂
I wouldn’t bother putting the note pad in plastic for the subscription boxes. The box looks fantastic
Thank you! ☺️💖 And I do that because I’ve shipped notepads in the past without being in a cello sleeve and some got bent and damaged by moving around in a box 😬
Hi emily
Hi hi! ☺️
@@emilycromwelldesigns how are you doing
You should really consider getting help aside from your mom. There’s only so y’all can do. Just my opinion. I would be really overwhelmed
Unfortunately I’m unable to have anyone outside from my household come in to help because of my chronic illness I get sick easily so I can’t be near anyone without a mask on, but I’ve been looking into getting some VA work done to help clear some time up so I can focus more on designing and things ☺️
So happy for the book box & can’t wait to receive it. 🩷🩷
I hope you love it! 😍💖
@@emilycromwelldesigns - it’s out for delivery today and I can’t wait!! 🩷 Your creativity is amazing, I love everything you design
