Some of you reading this are in the middle of it right now — managing a diagnosis, going through treatment, or caring for someone who is. Health isn’t abstract for you. It’s a daily reality.
That’s exactly who we think about at Parcel Health. Every pill bottle we make is paper instead of plastic because the people who need medication most deserve packaging that isn’t adding to their toxic load. Small changes in what surrounds our medicine matter, especially when we’re already vulnerable.
This World Health Day, we’re honoring everyone who is fighting for their health — and recommitting to doing our small part. ❤️

We turned our April Fool’s joke into a real product — and now we’re giving them away.

Our focus remains exactly where it’s always been: leading innovation in pharmaceutical packaging with the Tully Tube. We’re just really proud of the brand we’ve built, and we’re super excited to share it with you.

We’re over being first. The pharmaceutical packaging industry hasn’t been disrupted in over half a century, but someone else can introduce innovative products and take advantage of the opportunity that exists there.

But we want to keep selling stuff. That got us thinking; what’s another thing people use every day? And then we put on our socks to head out the door. An idea was born. The Tully Tube is still our main product—now you just wear it on your feet.

This is strategically advantageous for us because we can maintain our current brand positioning while completely stepping away from trying to take over a huge category. While you might see some new, complementary products (everyone needs another hoodie or a t-shirt that says both something and nothing at the same time, right?), there will be no pharmaceutical packaging. No Tully Tubes as you knew them, no mailers, baggies, boxes, or anything else that might be mistaken for innovation from us anymore.

We have decided to get back to literal basics and sell undifferentiated socks. They don’t really have a ‘purpose’; everyone wears socks, right? That is our new motto.

In this recent feature by Healthcare Packaging, highlighted how our founder, Melinda, turned a moment of discomfort into meaningful innovation. From dispensing thousands of plastic bottles to creating Tully Tubes, together with co-founder Mallory, they built the world’s first paper-based prescription packaging, using up to 71% less plastic than standard pill bottles to reduce healthcare’s single-use of plastics.

Today, Tully Tubes are being piloted with partners like and the results are clear. When given a choice, patients are ready for more sustainable options, with many preferring paper over plastic.

This is what meaningful innovation looks like:
not just better products, but greater accountability to the patients and planet we serve.

Recycling pill bottles sounds like the obvious sustainable choice, but many plastic pill bottles are too small to be properly captured by recycling machinery and can literally slip through the cracks during sorting. Less than 1% are actually recycled. Even when recycled, amber plastic has limited value and can only be recycled a few times before the material quality degrades.

🗞️ Our paper packaging, on the other hand, can be recycled many more times and supports a more circular lifecycle. That’s why we’re rethinking pharmacy packaging with solutions like the Tully Tube.

As sustainability becomes a priority across healthcare, packaging choices are under more scrutiny than ever. Especially when it comes to so-called bioplastics materials many of us accept as “green” at face value.

The reality? Many bioplastics still:
• Require industrial composting facilities that aren’t widely accessible
• Contaminate recycling streams due to look-alike materials

The materials we choose have downstream effects on community health, environmental exposure, and long-term sustainability. In our latest blog, we unpack the and explore why many “eco-friendly” plastics may not be the complete solution healthcare needs.
