About rabbit
Crafted in California, rabbit is a female-founded running apparel brand that supports runners and dreamers of all levels.

The challenge to address:
rabbit knows how important it is to implement sustainable practices for their brand and have “pledged to continue to do better so every generation can run free on this beautiful planet of ours.”
Like a lot of brands, they experienced packaging waste from online orders and had a limited budget to tackle this problem, but they felt it was important to address this issue and keep their promise to their customers to be more sustainable.
"We wanted to offer a sustainable packaging option to our customers. We at rabbit believe that the world needs better solutions to single-use packaging." Monica and Jill, founders of rabbit
They felt that their tightly-knit community of customers would appreciate sustainable packaging and would want to select it.

How did RePack help the US brand solve its packaging challenge?
