What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I've been listening to Packaging Unboxd for over a year and I always get a lot of value from Evelio and his guests. Packaging can be confusing, and Evelio and his guests explain things based on actual experience, not theory. I would recommend starting with Ep. 78: Biggest Packaging Design Mistakes Everyone Makes. There is so much there that I learned and that I plan to use for years to come.

Always looking forward to his new episodes. Love his “technical words” and his ability to relate to anyone. Short and sweet episodes packed with relevant information.

My goal is to get everyone I know who’s involved in manufacturing to subscribe to this podcast. Scratch that, my goal is to get everyone I know to subscribe. Why? Because we’re all consumers. It’s up to us to (respectfully) pose questions to the brands that will hopefully prompt them to make efforts toward operating in a more sustainable manner. As a brand owner, I weigh my options with an eye on sustainability—and then I must weigh those options against my budget. It’s not easy, and the outcomes are never perfect. However, having correct information to base those decisions upon is absolutely critical. That’s were this podcast comes in. Evelio brings in true experts in their fields who provide information and insight that I’ve been unable to identify elsewhere. Plus, the direct yet casual tone is very easy to listen to. Highly recommend on all accounts.

A super worthwhile packaging podcast! There's no fluff in here, just relevant content & insights on packaging in its myriad forms, in easy to understand language. Whatever the topic, I look forward to it knowing I'll walk away with something I can use. Thank you Evelio and IDP.
