Are we right for each other?

We work best with brands that treat packaging as part of the product, not as the last thing on the list. To save us both time, here is who we work with best.

We're probably not the right fit if:

  • Orders under $1,000.
  • A few boxes, one time.
  • Lowest quote wins.
  • No conversation, just add-to-cart.
  • Brand direction still up in the air. Our FAQ covers the basics first: process, scale, sampling, finishing, production. Worth reading before submitting anything.

We're a strong fit if:

  • Projects starting around $1,000 and up.
  • Sampling before production makes sense to you. It runs from $300, though complete artwork and locked specs can sometimes skip straight to the line.
  • There's real budget behind the packaging, and an expectation that production standards get defined properly.
  • What's needed is a manufacturing partner across structure, material, process and delivery. Not a print shop taking a file.
  • The box has a job: retail shelf, gifting, unboxing. It has to carry the brand.
  • Getting it right matters more than getting it cheapest.
