PACKAGING & ARTWORK

Don’t underestimate the value of great artwork and the right packaging. Take a walk down any Costco aisle and notice how many get it right and how many get it wrong. There are few things worse than winning the business only to have it fail on the shelf over something within your control to prevent. We are going to challenge you on your artwork and your packaging because we don’t just want to sell your item - we want it to succeed once it’s on the shelf!
