When this business name was chosen, did that process actually involve the firing of a synapse in someone's cerebral cortex? People are going to be put off by a by what looks like a portmanteau of "Paki" and some word ending in "ble". Large numbers of people, I suspect. Gee, let's make up a venture name by adding a common suffix to an ethnic slur!

I'm Pakistani and one of two partners at YC who works closest with Pakible. This thought has literally never crossed my mind in 5 months since we funded them.

> We assumed there would be a Teespring for packaging. But there wasn’t, so we decided to go ahead and do it. Have you folks seen the bags that Teespring ships with? All cool branded logos and such on them. Do you imagine that you'll be offering something like this? To me, it seems by selling branded courier bags like that would mean people purchase in bulk from you and can be used for more rather than just focusing…

We love Teespring's bags. We're trying to find a good way to make these available to customize at low volume.
