it's all about evolution

At PacaPod, we are always looking for ideas to improve our products. Our aim is to make your life as a parent easier. We are evolving all the time and this is where we can share with you the things we learn.

Best in Show

the PacaPod stand at the Harrogate Nursery Show

April 2008

PacaPod was launched at the recent Harrogate Nursery Show, we were blown away by the amazing response. Interest came from small independents, wholesalers, major multiples, on line and the high street stores and even Dragons Den!

Here are some of the things that they said;

“It’s fantastic to see such innovation in the market, I thought the changing bag sector was saturated but PacaPod is new & unique” – said the MD of a UK Nursery independent.

“The products are beautifully designed” – Said the buyer from a major UK retailer

“We are so excited by PacaPod” – said the buying controller of a Global nursery business.

Well, enough said - PacaPod will be coming to a store near you soon!

The First Prototype

January 2007

The first prototype, which was a great effort, but still needed many tweaks along the way, following ‘wearer’ tests and feedback!

The Search for a Bag Maker

November 2006

This was a week spent in Hong Kong, searching for a top quality bag manufacture. After a dozen meetings an amazing company was finally found, (they also produce bags for some of the biggest brands in the world).
