bidPress vs Sugar

Kayak.com for custom t-shirts and other apparel for groups.

The new “Kayak.com for custom t-shirts for groups,” bidPress is a platform that lets customers design custom t-shirts and other apparel online and get instant quotes from top print shops.

We’re rethinking the way the market for custom t-shirts and other apparel works. We are disrupting a $9+ billion industry widely known for a lack of retail innovation, with more than 85% of orders placed offline and with an online industry dominated by a few large players that charge high prices or have clunky websites. At bidPress, customers can save up to 35% versus online and offline shops, since printers in our network have extra capacity and will print at low margins to stay busy.

Maker of the world's first sweet tipped, ultra-smooth hemp cigarettes with a goal to combat nicotine addiction in the world.

Let’s face it—hemp cigarettes aren’t (usually) good. That’s where we come in.

We wanted to love hemp cigarettes (or CBD cigarettes). But everything we tried tasted harsh, bitter, and just plain sh*tty. So we shifted our focus, ditched the playbook, and set out to create a hemp cigarette we’d want to smoke—a hemp cigarette we’d want to share with our friends. A perfect hemp cigarette.

It took us close to two years of research and development to get to where we are today. And throughout that process, we realized that there isn't ONE perfect CBD cigarette, because the perfect CBD cigarette will look different for each individual. There's got to be options, flavors, variations. Well, we took on that challenge, and we're proud of what we've created.

From the beginning, we decided that we needed to do things out of the norm. No ordinary hemp could be used, no plain old cigarette filter paper, no run of the mill menthol, and no boring packaging. We wanted to create experiences—and that meant constructing something unique from what was already out there. Because everything could be designed and built from scratch, we decided to get creative, sometimes painstakingly so.

For us, creating the best hemp cigarette started by hand-selecting ultra high-quality hemp flowers—flowers with enough CBD to be potent but without the traditional hemp harshness. Then, we rolled up our sleeves and refined every single detail. We triple sifted our hemp so that no seeds or stems were left behind. Next, we sourced the highest quality vanilla and peppermint flavors we could find that would complement the natural flavors of our hemp blend. To top it all off, we added sweetened filters that would tie everything together. With this rock-solid foundation—and deliciously smooth taste—CRÈME by Sugar was born.

Now, we’re here—and we want to change the way the world sees hemp cigarettes. We want you to toss your tobacco in the trash and trade up to hemp—this hemp. A hemp cigarette that—finally—doesn’t taste like sh*t.
