PAKIT is an eco-conscious screw and nut packaging system that rethinks the entire journey from production to purchase to use, delivering a refined and intuitive experience for DIY and craft enthusiasts.

Unlike conventional plastic bags or boxes, PAKIT uses recyclable board and biodegradable glassine paper to reduce environmental impact.

In the production phase, screws and nuts are sorted and aligned, then covered by a sheet of eco-friendly paper and sealed with high-frequency heat sealing.Each item is individually housed in a grid, with clear labeling per sheet. This ensures that each unit is visibly sorted, securely held, and easy to identify.

When selling, these pre-packed sheets are displayed by type, allowing users to hand-pick the models they need. Upon purchasing, users can get a slide strip on which they can mount each pack, turning their selection into a custom, flip-through storage kit.

During use, the packaging structure allows for quick flipping, finding, and picking of screws and nuts. The Glastine paper film made of corn fiber enables users to easily access screws and nuts.The compact package can be hung, sticked on walls, or stacked-offering flexible storage that is both space-saving and tidy.

PAKIT not only reduces material pollution but also eliminates common pain points of traditional packaging-mess, mix-ups, unclear labeling, and inconvenient access. It makes hardware storage cleaner, smarter, and more enjoyable.

Pack it up with the PAKIT kit!
