Our first patented products were Glo Cubes®, which were liquid-activated, light up drink cubes. After some early success with this product, we had a mother reach out to tell us that she had seen Glo Cubes® at a restaurant and after realizing that they were liquid-activated, took one home to place in the bath for her autistic son. She told us it was the first time in months that her son had taken a bath without crying. We pivoted and got to work making the first versions of Glo Pals® in 2018. Today, you can find our products in more than 1,400 stores across the USA and Canada. To date, we’ve sold over 4 million products to customers in 36 countries. ![partner-quotes-dots](https://operators.shipbob.com/hubfs/Shipbob%20landing%20page%20assets/Partner%20LP%20Files/partner-quotes-dots.svg) ![Glo Pals Burst](https://operators.shipbob.com/hubfs/Glo%20Pals%20Burst.png) ## About the Partner ![Freightos logo](https://operators.shipbob.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Freightos%20logo.png?width=165&name=Freightos%20logo.png) Freightos® makes international shipments faster, more cost-effective and reliable, expanding global trade between the people of the world with the largest global digital freight booking platform.
