B2B Review from Adam H. Smith
I have hired Thinkhaus for multiple projects across two companies over the past eight years, including branding, new product development, packaging, and strategic initiatives. Their team is exceptional, consistently bringing top-tier talent to every engagement. They have always delivered on time, on budget, and above expectations. I highly recommend Thinkhaus to any organization seeking a strategic and results-driven partner.
B2B Review from Jerry Koch
Top-Tier Consulting Expertise | Trusted Partner Commitment | World-Class Results Without the Big-Firm Layers. ThinkHaus partnered with us from brand inception through a major strategic evolution three years later. Their ability to help define who we were, shape our brand identity, and articulate a distinctive brand voice by harnessing the collective knowledge of our leadership team, combined with their own deep expertise, was a critical factor in helping us quickly establish a foothold in market. The quality of their work was outstanding. Just as important, ThinkHaus helped us sort out our early strategic evolution as the business matured. Their thoughtful approach demonstrated a rare combination of strategic coaching, branding expertise, business acumen, and the ability to align leadership teams around a common vision. What truly sets ThinkHaus apart is their ability to deliver the caliber of insight, facilitation, and strategic guidance typically associated with top-tier consulting firms while maintaining the responsiveness, accessibility, and personal commitment of a trusted partner. You work directly with experienced professionals who are deeply invested in your success, not layers of consultants. That combination is rare and remarkably effective. Top-tier expertise. Trusted partnership. Outstanding results.
B2B Review from Angie Holt
Thinkhaus has been a trusted partner to us for many years, helping us (re)build the entire sales & marketing strategy of our well-established business, to support a significant business redirection. As a small business, they have supported a cost-conscious strategy that has allowed us to prioritize the most impactful strategies on a budget over time. Thinkhaus has helped implement many different elements over time - brand strategy, new name & logo, new imagery, a new website, SEO, AI search visibility and various marketing support materials for special projects such as trade shows and promotional events. Together, these elements have helped us to stand out from our competitors to secure many new customers over the years.

Branding Review from Tim Geldean
In creating the branding for my coaching business, Special Sauce has allowed me to transition my side job into my dream full-time career. BOCO Distance Projects youth run club has seen an increase of over 160% since we launched at the beginning of this summer. Our club logos and design have transformed the marketing of our club. Andrew and team have turned those designs into a website, yard signs, flyers, an apparel package, stickers, a team tent, and decals for my car. They all look amazing. I regularly get compliments from friends, colleagues, and strangers. And they've been a pleasure to work with from day one. Thank you, Special Sauce! https://bocodistanceproject.com/
Jennifer Smith's Review Sourced from Google
Our experience working with Andrew and his team at Special Sauce was excellent. We wanted to do a brand refresh and custom website for our company and they made the process very streamlined. Their communication was fantastic and we are so pleased with our new design and website. Shoutout to Liz as she really worked to accomodate any changes we wanted. We would recommend Special Sauce and will use them in the future!
Julianna Milam's Review Sourced from Google

A top packaging design company in the US builds packaging systems that influence product perception, brand credibility, and purchase decisions. These firms design labels, containers, cartons, and packaging visuals that align brand strategy with physical and digital shelf environments.
Such services generally include:
Packaging design companies help businesses build packaging that supports branding, compliance, and conversion by helping them:
Over 90,000 people search for unboxing videos on YouTube each month, which shows how packaging influences purchase interest and brand perception.
72% of consumers will purchase a product if they find it visually appealing.
What’s more, 78% of consumers believe that the sustainability of a product’s packaging is crucial when deciding on a purchase.
Those growing expectations for sustainability and differentiation are helping to push the packaging design market toward $35.06 billion by 2032 from its current value of $26.64 billion (4% CAGR), according to a report by Coherent Market Insights.
Packaging design budgets depend on the number of products, materials, and production constraints. Project pricing scales with scope, customization, and production demands:
Folding cartons usually cost $1.80–$2.25 per unit, while premium rigid boxes range from $8.50–$10 per unit.
While it is possible to find rates as low as $25 per hour, most US packaging design agencies generally charge $100–$149 per hour, driven by higher labor costs and specialized design expertise.
This puts US rates at the higher end of the global market compared to Europe (≈$50–$75/hr) and Asia (often under $65/hr).
Budgets vary by industry due to differences in materials, compliance requirements, and production complexity:
With the world’s largest packaging design market (35% in North America, per Coherent Market Insights’ report), there are plenty of agencies to choose from in the US.
Beyond creative skill, look at strategic thinking, technical precision, and production readiness.
We’ve assembled a selection of top packaging design companies on DesignRush across a range of budget levels to help you find a partner that fits your needs.
| High budget: $100-$150 per hour |
|
| Low budget: $50-$100 per hour |
|
DesignRush features packaging design agencies across multiple pricing tiers, which allows you to compare firms by hourly rates, project minimums, service focus, and verified reviews. You can filter listings by specialization, industry experience, and team size.
Before hiring an agency in the US to help your business, here are some questions to ask:
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:
Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
Every agency is independently vetted before it can be listed or ranked
Some agencies pay for sponsored placement, clearly labeled and held to the same vetting standards.
An analysis of service specializations within our directory shows that agencies tend to focus on several core packaging-related service areas.
While many firms offer overlapping capabilities, service concentration generally aligns with the following ranges:
Packaging design costs are determined by product complexity, number of SKUs, regulatory requirements, and whether structural design is required alongside visuals.
Based on pricing analysis used across the DesignRush packaging design category, most projects fall into these ranges:
Ongoing packaging support, including line extensions and revisions, is often billed through retainers or per-SKU pricing.
Hourly rates for packaging design firms in the US tend to range between $100 and $149 per hour.
ROI typically unfolds across multiple stages:
Timelines depend on several factors, including product complexity, compliance requirements, and production constraints. Most US packaging projects fall within these ranges:
Packaging projects typically follow phased workflows similar to standard design processes:
Requirements vary significantly by industry due to differences in distribution channels, regulations, and consumer behavior:
