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 Undisclosed
Thank you all for the work and insights! We are very happy with the final design and are very excited to get these packages in stores.
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)

Design Services Review from Solyman Najimi
We worked with the folks at SmashBrand in 2025 for logo and artwork updates for our top product. They were able to take an analytical approach and output--through much testing and a thorough revision process--superior graphics and concepts for our product packaging and overall company branding. We have modernized and streamlined our look and feel with the help of SmashBrand. Early feedback has been positive. We hope the long-term impact will be great.
Brand Strategy Review from Rob Johnson
I’ve worked with dozens of design and strategy agencies throughout my career and SmashBrand’s approach is completely unique. They take a quantitative approach to packaging that aligns the most important purchase drivers with the consumer target, and designs around those. They have absolutely transformed our business and are always my first call when I have brand strategy needs.

Yuli J Khaykin's Review Sourced from Google
We had an outstanding experience working with this packaging company from start to finish. The entire process was smooth, organized, and exceeded our expectations at every stage.From the initial budgeting phase, their team was transparent, responsive, and helped us find the best solution within our target price range. Their design support was especially impressive. They took the time to understand our vision, provided helpful recommendations, and ensured every detail of the box reflected our brand perfectly.Production and delivery were completed exactly as promised, with excellent communication throughout. The pricing was very fair for the level of service and quality provided.Most importantly, the final product exceeded our expectations. The box quality is excellent, durable, and beautifully finished. We absolutely love the final box design. It looks professional, premium, and elevates the presentation of our product.We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for high quality packaging, reliable service, and a team that truly cares about delivering exceptional results.

I had a vision in mind for the packaging that I wanted for my business. We created the design but didn’t know if what we wanted was possible. I worked with Marcus for my first order of boxes and the experience from beginning to end was flawless. Marcus was extremely patient with us as we explored the different box styles, paper weights and printing options. When we finally decided on the details we were amazed at how quick the order was printed and delivered!! We were so impressed that we are fast tracking 2 more box designs.

After having a bad experience with Elite, I received a call from Cody. My guess, he's a CSR. I was impressed with his passion for customer service so I decided to give them another try. Cody was on top of the job and exceeded my expectations. The boxes were perfect and delivered quicker than promised. I ended up giving them another job. This second box was absolutely magnificent. The prices are fair, the work is good and the delivery was early. My customer is happy...I highly recommend Elite for any custom box. Pics are attached.
Deb Coldiron's Review Sourced from Google
Elite printed a book box for a client of mine for a book set. I included a spot gloss and it turned out wonderfully. The template was excellent and the instructions for specs were very clear. They were swift and available with communications. I will use them again for other clients. I am extremely pleased with how my experience went and with the quality of the printing.

John was great to work with. Very patient with design emails and he and team helped elevate final design. End product is more than I expected. Thick cardboard, beautiful finish, easy right angle folding, and attached tape to seal top and bottom.It’s beautiful.

Evan White's Review Sourced from Google
One Design is a tremendous design and strategy agency. My company contracted them for web design, creative development, and content creation. Each assignment they knocked out of the park, but I cannot speak enough to their talents for web design. Our company struggled mightily with building our website in-house. We ran into bugs, troubles with mobile performance, and application integrations. Enough was enough, and we brought on One Design. Our website is beautiful, sleek, but most importantly functions flawlessly. The headaches of digging through bugs and finding solutions that work for both a desktop and mobile are site are over. It. Just. Works. What separates One Design apart from their competitors is the process and care they go through before the project starts. They dug into what our consumers truly need out our website, and how they will use it. This ended up uncovering truths about our audience even we were not aware of. Not only were they able to provide effective solutions in the website, but this aided every aspect of our marketing. They are a fantastic agency in every aspect.

The flavor is just right—perfectly balanced and delicious. This company is amazing, and it's clear that the employees are the backbone of its success. They put so much care and dedication into their work, which truly reflects in the quality of the product. I give them five stars!
