Cody at Caava Design is the best brand designer I've ever seen, he understands the vibe and psychology of your brand that can't be put into words. He actually cares about seeing your company succeed. I cannot recommend enough. Cody will transform your brand.
Branding Review from John Baker
Cody and the Caava Design team absolutely blew my original expectations away! RadPad is a small start up business in a crowded space with ambitious long term goals, which is how I chose to approach this branding exercise. Directly, I had not been thru this type of process before and Cody + team made the entire process from initial contact to ideation to creation to delivery fun and engaging and worth the investment! I now have all the guardrails and direction needed to properly and effectively showcase my business to my target customer and beyond. One of the best groups of people and experiences I have ever had across the board! I WILL 100% be going back to Caava for work in the future. Thank you thank you!
Brand Strategy Review from Brent Wadas
Our experience with Caava Design was incredible! They worked tirelessly to provide brand strategy and voice options that would speak to the many different markets we operate in. Not only did we come away with an excellent, solid brand strategy, but we also garnered a ton of new fans in the process. They were deliberate in the best way possible, taking time to work with us on all aspects of a complex business plan. While they were fast in delivery of products, I never felt as though they rushed though any of it, and the results speak for themselves. I am grateful to the team for their efforts and recommend them to any and all looking for creativity in their marketing!

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!

Ted Capatanos's Review Sourced from Google
When I started Aleana Health in 2025, I was fortunate enough to find Lien Design. Tom Lien, the owner, was easy to work with and produced excellent results.I hired Tom to design the packaging for my new business, and he created a box that I am truly proud to have represent the Aleana Health brand. The quality of his work and attention to detail exceeded my expectations.As my business grew, I hired Tom again to design additional packaging. Once again, I was extremely pleased with the final product.One of the things I appreciated most was working directly with Tom throughout the entire process. He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and genuinely cared about getting the design right. It was obvious that he takes pride in his work, and it showed in the final product.I highly recommend Lien Design to anyone looking for professional packaging or graphic design services.
Michael M.K's Review Sourced from Google
I am very grateful that I went with Lien Design for my graphic design needs. Tom has surpassed my expectations with the first project (packaging design) and I'm looking forward to starting on the second project (brochure design). I rarely write reviews but I had to write this one because Tom deserves it. Here are a few things that stood out for me: Very professional and superior quality work, excellent customer service, timely delivery & communication, and very reasonable rates.

Working with Vicarel Studio is always such a good time. We came to them for branding and walked away with work that felt next level. The vibe? Professional but never stiff. Creative but still totally strategic. They just got us — and brought our vision to life in a way that felt fresh, elevated, and super aligned.

Phoebe Zhou's Review Sourced from Google
I recently worked with the Atlas team on a full rebrand and packaging redesign for my company, La Pêche, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the very beginning, they took the time to deeply understand my vision — and then combined that with thorough research and unparalleled creativity.The final outcome exceeded my expectations in every way. They seemed to understand the heart and soul of my brand even better than I did, and translated that into visuals and packaging that are not only beautiful but incredibly effective. Since the launch, I’ve received many compliments from both customers and retail partners on how elevated and refined the new branding feels.The Atlas team is exceptionally talented, professional, and intuitive when it comes to capturing the essence of a brand. I couldn’t be more impressed — and I’m looking forward to collaborating with them on future projects. Highly recommend!

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 |
