The Squisher

When I first started selling online, I was surprised to learn that shipping pillow covers with inserts can be expensive.  (It's just a pillow, right?)  Well, they're heavier than they look, and their bulkiness can take a package to another level.  The first time I shipped a pillow, it cost almost twice what I had estimated.

Enter THE SQUISHER.

Two boards on tabletop

My husband invented The Squisher to reduce the bulk of shipped pillows and minimize shipping costs.  It's really just a couple of shelf boards, but they're hinged together allowing the squishing to happen.  This reduces the overall volume of the package, and ultimately saves you money.   😊   

Here are some photos of the The Squisher in action in our Shipping Department (also known as the kitchen table). 

Each pillow is placed in a new, reusable, transparent plastic bag.  It's then set in The Squisher, and (you guessed it) it gets squished.  Then we close the bag with a twist tie, add a ribbon, and it's ready to go!

Please Note:  No pillows are harmed by The Squisher.  They will 're-inflate' as soon as the twist tie is released.  :)

With experience, we've also learned that certain size boxes ship for less than others.  We're always trying to minimize shipping costs, and pass the savings on to you.
