Over the course of the last nearly twenty years, we have helped hundreds of people who are either starting up new companies or launching new brands and products. Nothing is as satisfying as seeing packaging we produced on TV programs like Shark Tank, or in a prime time commercial. We also feel great pride and joy when we see those companies succeed and grow.
So Many Things to Go Wrong!
We have not forgotten the same headaches and frustration when we started up our company in 2007. As one of my mentors put it, there is always a long list of “gotchas” and critical details, and no one ever gets them all. Over the years we have heard many a sad story including:
- My overseas supplier notified me they are going to be four weeks late with my product.
- Our web site is delayed.
- We have to find a new 3PL before launch.
- The CEO is not pleased with our brand appearance, so graphics are being redesigned.
- We’ve run into a legal snag and conflict with our product name.
This is just a handful of examples we have heard from customers. They only thing they have in common is that none of them are delays resulting from their packaging. In fact, we are very grateful to say we have rarely ever been late with any customers’ packaging. That may sound like a bold claim, but it is true because we have an absolutely firm grip on the manufacturing process and quite frankly, we know what we are doing.
Why and How Are We Different?
We are glad to have our packaging produced at over ten plants, strategically located coast to coast. That provides us with great flexibility to overcome delays due to weather or transportation. Manufacturing equipment varies a great deal, so we are not limited like many others to the “machine in the back”. We decide on the best print process for your graphic design, and then determine which plant can best deliver the desired custom printed packaging results, at the lowest possible cost. On time.
Over the course of nineteen years, we have helped thousands of customers and produced millions of boxes. We understand the process may include all of the following:
- Producing structural design samples for approval
- Assessing customer provided artwork
- Creating print cards to confirm layout
- Providing full size proofs for final approval.
- Providing ink color swatches, as well as box or board samples as needed
- Making print plates and cutting dies when necessary
- Shipping and delivering finished product
We know how to keep the order process moving, in most cases, taking some of these steps simultaneously so no time is wasted. Whatever it is your project requires, chances are we’ve already done it hundreds of times.
Our people know there are many reasons for delays in getting your product to market. However, waiting for delivery of the custom boxes they ordered from us, must never, ever be the problem. It comes down to trust, and we invite you to visit our gallery and see some of the work we have done and a few of the customers who were glad they trusted us.
