From “I’ll Just Make One for My Makeup” to Shipping 800 Pouches a Day While the Kids Screamed

It started with a simple thought: “I need something cute to hold my lipsticks.”

I grabbed a Petite & Personalized Sublimation Blank Linen Small/Medium Pouch from INNOSUB USA, pressed a quick floral design, and tossed my makeup inside. I posted a photo on Instagram with the caption “Finally, my chaos has a home.”

By morning I had 47 DMs asking where they could buy one.

That was October. By December I was shipping 800 pouches a day while my toddlers used the packing paper as a slide.

These linen pouches are magic. The natural linen presses in 60-90 seconds at 360 °F with medium pressure and the colors soak in like they belong there. The drawstring closure and soft feel make them perfect for makeup, jewelry, coins, or even as gift bags for small presents.

My best sellers turned out to be:

Grandma pouches with grandkid photos Bridesmaid proposal pouches with “I can’t say I do without you” Teacher survival kits with “Coffee & Chaos” Pet mom pouches with dog or cat faces

I price the small at $19.99 and the medium at $24.99. My cost is under $2 each in bulk. That’s $18+ profit on something that fits in an envelope.

The kids screamed, the printer jammed, the dog ate a drawstring, but the orders kept coming. I made more in one holiday season than my old day job paid in a year.

If you have a heat press and a corner of your house, these linen pouches are the quiet little money-makers that turn “just one for me” into “how did this become my full-time job?”
