Meet the GIVR Team

These are the folks who work hard to provide our customers with great products and excellent service!

Jeremy Bower
Founder & CEO


  • Jeremy Bower is the Founder and CEO of Givr Packaging, located in Melbourne, FL. He holds a B.S. in Paper Science from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry and Syracuse University.  He has been working in sustainable packaging since 2003 when he worked for a “trash to tissue” recycled paper mill in Upstate New York.

    He founded Givr Packaging in 2018 out of a desire to give environmentally conscious buyers a full-service packaging company that contributes to protecting this amazing planet by offering his customers the packaging products they already buy. 

    All of Givr’s boxes are 100% recyclable and are made from recycled materials whenever possible. Additionally, Givr’s pledge is to provide a net positive carbon offset through native tree planting in the U.S. and abroad.  Givr’s team prides themselves on creating novel structural and impactful graphic packaging designs that eliminate the need for bubble wrap or other less-recyclable plastics.

    Over his career, Jeremy has worked with brands like Google, Chanel, SnapChat, The Hershey Company, Kellogg’s, Godiva, Henkel, DeMet’s, and Disney to turn their packaging ideas into reality.  He sits on the Board of Directors for Re-Nuble, Inc. and has served as an advisor to various early-stage start-ups.

    Jeremy is a multi-time Florida Rugby State Champion and still competes at the National level. In his spare time, Jeremy enjoys training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, bodybuilding and analyzing random packaging while his wife tries to shop.

Lea Wetzel

Our Mission

The US accounts for just 5% of the world’s population - but consumes over 30% of the world’s paper. Every 1.2 seconds the world loses an area of forest the size of a football field.

At Givr, we believe the packaging industry should do more for the environment than plant for its own consumption. That’s why we partnered with global tree planting organizations to achieve carbon negative packaging.

Givr was created to give environmentally conscious buyers a packaging option that fights to protect this amazing planet.  All of our products are 100% recyclable and whenever possible are made from recycled materials.
