Branding Review from Eric Horton
Hello DesignRush community, I wanted to share my exceptional experience working with Sven at Igawa Design. Sven is a true professional. He takes direction effortlessly, offers valuable insights, and consistently exceeds expectations with elegant and creative solutions for our graphic design needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Igawa Design for any branding or graphic design projects. Best regards,
Branding Review from Jonathan Brown
Igawa Design is one of the most contemporary and strategic thinking Brand and Design agencies in California. I've had the pleasure of working with Sven and his team on multiple programs and projects and every time Ive been struck by how relevant and unique the solutions and work are. Modern, fresh, dynamic and sophisticated, their work hits the mark every time. They are great partners and great people to work with. For Memorex, Sven was responsible for a complete re thinking of our clients core identity, repositioning it toward a new audience and mindset. This new direction was then applied to a complete range of consumer packing and point of sale, resulting in a fresh new face that stood out in a crowded and cluttered sector.
Branding Review from Matt Lyon
HydraPak engaged Igawa to re-brand the company at a pivotal moment in our growth. With a surge of growth, we had a chance to re-brand the 15 year-old company and reintroduce it to the marketplace. Sven delivered an entirely new brand book that we used to reposition ourselves in the marketplace. As a young company, we used this as a blue print for our future projects and marketing relationships. The work was spot-on, nailing who we were and capturing it in a way that was compelling to others. We were so happy with the work, we also used Sven to re-brand our Bottle Bright and Polar Bottle acquisitions. I did not think that someone else could tell me something about my brand that I didn't already know, but Sven proved me wrong. I highly recommend Igawa.

We had a wonderful experience with TEAMS Design! They use an "outside of the box" approach and provided us with extremely innovative ideas for our new equipment design. From the initial kickoff meeting to the completion of our project, the team was extremely professional and efficient.

I had the good fortune to partner with TEAMS Design Chicago for a custom design project and couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final product, their team was professional, creative, and had great attention to detail. I was particularly impressed with their ability to balance aesthetics and functionality. I highly recommend TEAMS Design Chicago to anyone seeking a world class design firm. Their ability to deliver exceptional results in a quick time frame make them an easy choice to work with again.

Lakievia Johnson's Review Sourced from Google
I am grateful for all of the branding work Visual Appeal helped me develop for my organization, STEPS Academic Advising & Education, LLC. The Visual Appeal team went above and beyond to create beautiful, and unique, marketing material for STEPS. As a new business owner, I really needed someone to help me with my branding suite. In addition to doing that, they did all of the creative thinking for me, strengthened the name of my company, helped me strengthen the overall mission of my organization, and ensured I developed and posted STEPS' organizational values. I've received many compliments and made many referrals. Without Visual Appeal, LLC, I don't believe my company would have started off as strong as it did. Thank you!

Within just a few days of asking Visual Appeal for help on an updated flyer for my law firm, I had the final draft in hand. Not only was the turn-around super fast, but the design quality was outstanding and exactly the look and "feel" I wanted -- bold, modern, clean. I can't wait to introduce my firm using this flyer. Thanks Nickkol and team!!

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 |
