  Client: Pacha Soap

  Soap Labels

  Pacha Soap is a socially and environmentally responsible soap maker, we love their wonderful soaps and clean ethos, and so we wanted to hear what they had to say about our labels. The custom hemp and wild-grass label we made for their product, they said, helps it look “unique”, and “like no other” on the shelf.

  “The quality of the paper looks beautiful, and helps with marketing and presentation.”

  – Andrew Vrbas,
  Jefe Jabenero, Pacha Soap Company

  We were excited to hear that their customers and vendors love the labels, and recognize the product as made by Distant Village and connect with our triple bottom-line philosophy of People, Planet and Profit.
  This quickly conveys their environmental and social values: “it’s one cohesive message, with soap and label.”

  Client: St. Croix Chocolate

  Chocolate Art

  A chocolate bar like no other you’ll find anywhere demands packaging like no other.   When Robyn Dochterman of St. Croix Chocolates needed remarkable packaging for her special custom chocolate bars, she trusted Distant Village for brand packaging design and production.   Each bar features local birds formed from a mold created from the artwork of St. Croix Valley
  tile artist Laura McCaul.  The certified Organic, Fair-Trade chocolate was perfectly packaged in a custom-designed, sustainable sliding drawer box. A perfectly delicious gift sure to impress.

  “When you give these beautiful bars with a story, you’ll help the
  environment, artists and small business!” – St. Croix Chocolate
