About Lancaster Gift Box
At Lancaster Gift Box, we work as a collaborative team while doing any task: making gift boxes, prepping for an order, and even taking out the trash. Internally, we call this role the Gift Box Packer. Every box that goes out the door was packed by hand, by a real team, and that's where you come in.
The holidays are our busiest and most exciting stretch of the year, and we're looking for a crew of seasonal packers to help us get it done right.
