How we work at Kartent

When you receive your package through the letterbox or see a post on our Instagram, you might be curious about what is behind it. How do we actually work at Kartent, what is our style and what characterizes us? In this blog you can read what makes Kartent, Kartent.

No stocks

We strive to have no stock at all. So we really only produce the things that have actually been ordered or requested. In this way we make optimal use of our space. When we receive large, urgent requests, the regular orders naturally continue to flow in. So you can imagine that we regularly lend a hand with the team to quickly finish a large request together. But hey, that keeps it nice and diverse ;) 

Various working days

Because we make the products ourselves, our working days are often very diverse.

For example, one moment Charlotte is analyzing Facebook ads, half an hour later she is gluing a lamp in Dennis' warehouse. This is what we call the 'Kartent style' here. Fortunately, this works well for us because the team is nice and young and flexible. 

Packaging 

Not only do we make our own products, we also design and make our own packaging. In this way, we can ensure that there is no unnecessary empty space in the packaging. In addition, we reduce the transport per product and we can guarantee that all our products are 100% recyclable, including packaging.

Amsterdam-based

Everything you find in our webshop we make ourselves, at 1 location in Amsterdam ( curious? Feel free to drop by at Lemelerbergweg 63!). Of course we have partners, but we try to do as much as possible ourselves to ensure transport reduction and efficiency.

Creativity 

Besides keeping our ecological footprint as small as possible, another goal of ours is to encourage and inspire creativity. The large empty surface of the products allows creativity to run free.
