Not only are all of Serac’s business partners based in the USA, including our designer and manufacturer, but we also source most of our materials from suppliers based in the USA.
EcoEnclose is a leader in sustainable packaging and shipping supplies and resources that is located in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. They stand for the proposition that “cheap, disposable products that provide short-term benefits to encourage repurchases are the past,” and the future belongs to companies that make “[g]oods that are high quality, thoughtfully produced, and long-lasting.” We couldn’t agree more. That is why EcoEnclose is Serac’s one-stop resource for all things packaging and shipping! (https://www.ecoenclose.com/)
