6. Stand out in a crowd

They say necessity is the mother of invention. In Carolyn Colontonio’s case, her mother’s necessity led to the invention of another business level for Shelter Island Paper. Creating since 2011, Colontonio started with shower invites, digital prints, and home decor with inspirational quotes. The heart and art that poured into her original creations overflowed into a bustling business of bespoke “engraved goods and handmade pieces.” When her mother made a simple request for a new luggage tag, it lit a new spark. Colontonio purchased a laser-engraving machine and added laser engraved items like luggage tags to her inventory in 17 glossy acrylic hues or a medium of rustic wood.
