      Product Marketing Review from Andrew Kuhns

      We needed packaging design experts who could provide primary display panel concepts that would work for over 2K skus. They took are most common and a few unique PDP layouts and developed a design system that aligned with our brand standards with a modern approach. We are now implementing their design across all of our products. Great partners!

      Package Design Review from Paula (Petrungaro) Steenstra

      We needed an update to our full [lineup] for Hillshire Farm, [a] national brand that participates in several categories. PKG provided a great range of designs that were on target. The final design had great success in the marketplacereally moving the needle on our brand[']s modernity and helping maintain its leadership in the category. But what really sets PKG apart from the rest are the people. A true partnership... I always considered them an extension of our team. (Verified via email)
