As the new year approaches we've been working hard to make sure we're ready to support you and all the new things you're planning for. Part of that has been updating our warehouse facilities and all the ways it can benefit your own business.
This past year we added an additional 15,000 feet to our warehouse facility located right next door to our headquarters in Utah. As part of the expansion, we have installed additional printing and bindery equipment, as well as lots of pallet racks to store printed products and various supplied items. This expanded space (a total of 28,000 sq feet!) and new equipment means we have also increased our ability to provide you with even more printing and binding services in addition to storage space.
What can warehousing do for your business?
Product Storage: Take advantage of bulk printing discounts. Print a large amount of your products at a discounted price, then store them in our warehouse until you need them.
Supplied Items: We can store supplied items for you that can then be included in future shipments. Things like supplements, clothing, crystals, etc.
Subscription / VIP Boxes: We can store products we create for you, supplied items, and products from collaborators, and then assemble and ship for you as part of any VIP, subscription, or special orders.
Easy Inventory Management: We provide an online portal where you can easily view and manage your inventory online.

Have you ever ordered something and when you open the box what you find is so much more than expected? Just picture it: Colorful tissue paper bundled around the product and with fun extras tucked around the edges like stickers, cards, bookmarks, magnets and more!
This is something we like to call the "Etsy" experience. It's that extra touch that makes buying from independent sellers so unique, and it's what turns customers into loyal fans that come back again and again.
No matter whether you sell on Etsy, Amazon, or through your own website or the Vervante Bookstore, we can help you create a memorable experience for your customers where everything seems homemade and shipped to them with personal attention, care and creativity.
Let's say that someone orders a book, planner, or journal from you. Starting with that, you add special packaging that fits your brand, like a custom-printed box or color-coordinated tissue paper wrapping. Next, tuck in a few extra products that complement the main item, like bookmarks, stickers, writing pens, notepads, or unique cards. Top it all off with ribbon ties and a hand-written note for a fun, hand-crafted “Etsy” type experience. Who knows? You might even end up seeing your product as the star in a social media “unboxing” episode!
Here at Vervante, we can help you add extras to your packages as we ship each order. Here are some ideas of what we've seen our customers include:
Mini blank journals
Bookmarks or postcards
Logo decals
Branded calendars, notecards or notepads
Fliers sharing new products, classes or events
Hats, t-shirts, exercise bands, etc.
Recipe cards
Certificates
Crystals in colored bags
The "extras" you decide to include in your shipments can be items created and published by Vervante such as bookmarks, postcards, audio CDs, etc. Or they can be supplied products, such as decals, t-shirts, hats, etc, that you send to us and we store in our warehouse until you need them.
If you have any questions about how you can create a unique custom experience for your shipments, please reach out to our team. We can't wait to see what fun extras you decide to your customers will love!
As you’re preparing for holiday launches, end-of-year products, and promotions for the New Year, don’t forget that it’s also a great time to think about ways to show your gratitude for the customers, fans, and followers that have helped make your business a success.
Thanksgiving will be here sooner than you know it, and how great would it be to have something special ready to go to show your gratitude? That’s why we rounded up some quick and easy ideas for showing special people how much they mean to you.
Gratitude Gift Ideas Handwritten Cards or Letters: An email is nice, but the power of the handwritten letter is second to none. Take a moment to write a note or letter to show your gratitude.
