    Get crafty with Amazon boxes

    If you have a crafty side, Amazon boxes can be upcycled into fun decorating projects like bookcases, wall art, or planters. Kids can also reuse them for art projects or playtime activities.

    When you’re done with your projects, you also can use Amazon boxes to store your craft supplies. Amazon boxes are sturdy and well-built, so they’re great for storing things like books, toys, and even clothing.

    Give boxes new life by giving them away

    Ask your friends, family, or neighbours if they need boxes. If you know anyone who is moving, they might appreciate the offer.

    Amazon’s ‘Ships in Product Packaging’ program allows for lighter, more sustainable shipments, and is easy to take part in.
