Why Does My Package Look Like That?

At Sunlit Supply, we’re proud to deliver high-quality gear for your outdoor adventures—but we’re just as committed to how we deliver it.

You might open your order and find your paddleboard straps or river gear packed inside a box that looks… well, like it’s been on its own adventure. Maybe it has another company’s logo on the side. Maybe the padding inside is a mix of recycled paper or bubble wrap from something else.

Don’t worry—it’s really from us. And it’s our way of doing things with purpose.

We totally get it—there’s something magical about unboxing a product in pristine, custom packaging. We love that feeling too! But we believe the excitement of opening new gear can still be there without creating extra waste. Reusing materials helps us cut down on what ends up in the landfill and keeps our prices more accessible.

Why We Reuse Packaging

1. To Reduce Waste-- Even though we recycle, not everything actually gets recycled. Reusing is one of the most effective ways to keep materials out of landfills—no sorting, no processing—just giving something a longer life.

2. To Keep Costs Low for You-- Shipping supplies are expensive, and every dollar we save on packaging is a dollar we don’t have to build into product pricing. This helps us stay affordable without cutting corners where it counts.

3. Because It’s the Right Thing to Do-- We want to protect the places you paddle, hike, and roam. Choosing reused materials over shiny new ones helps us tread a little lighter on the planet. It’s not always pretty—but it does make a real impact.

Want to Join In?

We know our customers are endlessly creative, and we trust you’ll find a way to reuse, repurpose, or pass along the materials in a way that works for you. Whether it becomes a crafting project, next camping trip's firestarters, or just gets one more use before recycling—it all adds up.

Thanks for supporting a small business with big values. Your gear might arrive in a box with a story—but it’s packed with care, from our hands to yours.
