Bordeaux, St Emilion, Tuscany....we bought many bottles of wine on our latest European trip!! In our excitement (or drunken state) we forgot we needed to actually transport these bottles some of the wineries didn't pack up for us back home, safely. I just had this image of picking up my bag at baggage claim with red wine, truffle oil and Prosecco dripping from it. Ugh!! Wasn't going to let that happen. I turned to Yelp and searched 'packing supplies. I luckily came across Cartonland... Went in with the intention of purchasing all the bubble wrap they had. Much to my surprise, the owner, a kind gentleman who spoke English pretty well asked what I was wrapping and showed me this amazing, excellent quality wine carrier that holds 6 bottles for under €10. Sold! It was sturdy and he was so sweet helping me not only assemble it, but let me come back from my car with wine in tact, and sealed it for me professionally! What a lifesaver!! Plus, the carrier was made from 100% recycled materials! An added bonus! As a former small business owner, this place was so much fun and had my creative juices flowing. They had lots of cool, colored shopping bags, ones they can even print labels and logos on! Cartonland seems like a great find for businesses of all sizes, as well as for the average person just trying to ship a gift. They do have some other fun goods such as a plastic type wine bag that would take the place of a wine bucket for holding the bottles surrounded by ice when picnicking and such. Cool! What a great find! What a nice owner! Easy parking out front too! read more

Despite its self explicit name, for the life of me I can never remember what this veritable haven of boxes, bags and bubble wrap is called when I try to look it up. Which is why I had to just go there recently to find out whether or not they carried brown paper bags in bulk. Luckily, they did, and in a very big way! Not only did they have what I was looking for, they carried them in five different sizes, a dozen different colors and with two types of handles. Score!! The prices seem totally correct. I paid 25E (HT) for 250 paper bags. If I were a little more serious about my bags, I could have had them custom ordered with a logo or signature printed on them too (the min order for that though is 3000 and it takes 3 weeks for delivery). You can also find all sorts of other packing and handling essentials there as well, like moving boxes, clothing storage boxes, bubble wrap, eco-friendly plastic bags, wine bottle bags, etc. They also have a old school hand-written billing system and a no-frills display that screams 100% authenticity. Plus the owner is really friendly too. read more
