I wanted to shop inside to see what they had, but they did not allow anyone inside. Instead you have to have either ordered over phone and pickup at the door. Or ask the associates what you're looking for and they will bring you out what they have. I like to see the products I look at and see what the variety is. In the end they had boxes that I need for my dessert party favors. Friendly customer service!

I buy all my things from island marketing, I can spend days inside the stores even if the covid hits I already know what I need and wan because the workers/ owners have all my items in their computer that they can pull my name up and find what I needed. I had gone to other places Nothing can beat Island Marketing customers service. They Are Friendly and Christine the owner goes out of her way to help me find what I need . Their items are all quality and it doesn't tear easily, they have really nice seasonal bags, they have pretty boxes all kinds of shapes and sizes , clear boxes, white and other shapes, it's best to call before heading down there Christine is really good. If I'm not mistaken I think they have instagram. Good quality bags and very affordable baking items you will love.

During one of the COVID shutdowns, a Facebook friend and talented baker posted some fun baking videos, and gave a shoutout to this place for providing cute cups. And it's become one of my favorite places this past year!My favorites are the brown flower cups for baking brownies and baked Mochi - you don't need to grease them, they cook in about 1/3 to 1/2 the time, and THERE ARE SO MANY EDGES that get that crispy caramelized parts that normally just the best pieces on the edge of the pan get. I just found out they even sell the packages that you can put them in - so they totally look like they came from a bakery, even if you're like me and just opened a brownie box mix, and threw in an egg and oil, then scooped it out with a cookie scooper (bonus points for topping them off with some m&m minis!). I also love their cute little loaf paper containers (also get the baggies!) for baked breads. They provide awesome customer service too, patiently sharing their inventory, prices, etc while I wait outside and ask them a ton of questions since they're trying to keep safe. They even provide instructions and recipes for using their containers! A fantastic resource for making homemade goodies taste way better!! And their prices are super reasonable, and worth the slightly extra cost than the paper cupcake holders, since they make the recipient feel like they're truly made with lots of love and care!

If you're looking for any kind of gift bag, container, box, cupcake liner, etc...the magic is behind their glass door. I was just looking for small plastic bags to put mochi in as a thank you so I looked up gift bags. My Yelp search yielded this gem and I was like, ???? I had never heard of this place but it was worth a shot.When I drove up, of course, I was skeptical, I mean look at their storefront. So unassuming and no big signage. Once I stepped inside, it was amazing to see their selection. ANYTHING you need to package favors is probably in this store! (See my pics!)It's in the lot for a Jiu-Jitsu gym so if you see that, you are in the right place. I seriously thought my maps app got me lost, but nope, it really is a great find! Happy (gift bag) Shopping!

I love this tiny cozy hidden jem place! First time to come here it was hard to find it but you should trust your GPS. There is a low wall and "for lease" sign on it just before to get the parking lot. Again this place is tiny cozy but there are lots of treasures in there!!! (I'm always excited to be here!They have variety size of paper bags, wrapping stuff(cellophane, baskets), ribbons, cupcake liners, many variety of molds for baking, and many size of containers and boxes!They are very nice to ask what I need or looking for, so if you need something for wrapping or baking just go and ask. They suggest you good idea for you. And they have record what you buy here, so next visit if you cannot remember what you gat last time, easy to find out.

What a great mom & pop shop! I needed containers for a drive by baby shower and Amazon was a flop... I'm glad though because it led me to Island Marketing and I got to shop local!When I called, the owner talked me through what they have. She asked me what I was looking for and gave me a few options. She even texted me pictures of everything so I could have an idea of what I wanted when I came in. With COVID, you can't shop in store, but they bring out samples of their items so you can see it. When I got there, they were super accommodating with showing me samples (I'm a super visual person). They have a huge inventory so if you need anything, they probably have it. Also better to support local!!

My sister on Kauai asked me to pick up some favor bags before flying over to see her. Before this I've never heard of this place. It's a small little shop in Kalihi, near Honolulu Community College and they have lots of free parking (yay!). This place was like a hidden gem! If you like to give baked goods for any occasion or in need of packaging like cute seasonal cellophane baggies, you'll be in heaven. Forget trying to go to Longs or Ben Franklin for those types of things. This is the place you need to go! They have so many different types of paper bake-able pans, plastic treat containers, resealable bags, cupcake liners, bento/mochi containers, and more. So the next time you want to give out mini banana bread loaves (in its own little paper pan! omg cute!) or even brownies or any other type of baked good, this is the place you need to shop at. Everyone there is super helpful. If you have any questions about bake times for their bake-able products, they're able to answer all of your questions and even provide you with really useful suggestions. Whether you're planning to give treats for the holidays or little gifts for events/birthdays or something just because, I highly recommend making a trip to this place.

Definitely the one stop shop for all your baking needs. Only worth three out of five stars because based off of my experience (before AND after the covid pandemic)... if you're seen by Peggy, the older woman, then she makes me pay full price. Whereas when I first started going pre-pandemic, Kristen would give me a 50% off discount. So honestly why would I want to go if I'm not helped by Kristen, you know? But besides that, it's still my one and only shop I go to for my boxes!

Christine & Peggy exemplify excellent customer service. I was looking for sheer organza drawstring bags in medium to large sizes for an unusual use--protecting tree ripening fruit from birds, insects, pests, moisture. The bags had to be breathable, quick drying synthetic material able to withstand sunlight, rain and wind. They understood immediately and prepared some samples for me to see. Customers must stand outside their front door and cannot browse inside their small office-warehouse, so this advanced preparation is recommended. They're located in Kalihi on the mauka side of Kaumualii St ewa of Kohou St near Kapalama Canal and Dillingham Blvd. Free parking, but a small sign set far back from Kaumualii St. Drive slowly or you'll miss it.
