Web Design Review from Lisa MacCarley
I hired JQ Design Labs to create a simple, professional but unique logo - they came up with something I absolutely love. I asked them to re-work my website so it was more tailored to the work I want to do from now until I retired. The new website is perfect. I asked them to design and order business cards that were more modern and easy for seniors to read. They nailed it perfectly.
Creative Services Review from Donray Von
The team @ JQ Design Labs are my go to for decks, investor presentations (which we successfully raised capital), and logo design. When we worked with DoorDash on a national pitch - JQ was with us pitching and adjusting the materials in real time!
Web Design Review from Taujma Hall
Working with JQ Design Labs has been nothing short of amazing! Jeremy and his team are incredibly creative, detail-oriented, and always deliver beyond expectations. Over the past 7 years, they've brought my vision to life time and time again from stunning websites and pitch decks to my book design, business cards, and logos. Every project feels like a true collaboration with professionals who get it. Their turnaround time, creativity, and commitment to excellence are unmatched. I'm so grateful for their expertise and can't imagine trusting anyone else with my brand. I highly recommend.

Branding Review from Dr. Jay Feldman
Excellent work as a creative agency. They were able to take our ideas and transform them into something better we could have imagined.
Mike Fio's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Edition Studios was an absolute dream. From start to finish, their team was incredibly professional, organized, and thoughtful in every detail. They helped us bring the vision for Blankets of Hope to life with a stunning brand identity and a beautiful website that truly reflects who we are. The process felt effortless on our end because they handled everything with such precision and care. Not only did they make our lives easier—they delivered a premium brand that we’re genuinely proud of. We couldn’t recommend Edition Studios more highly.
Bieta Azmoudeh's Review Sourced from Google
Jordan and his team at Edition are truly experts at what they do. They understood our needs and helped bring our vision to life. We couldn't have asked for better partners and will continue to work with them on all of our future design/marketing needs.

Leslie Gibbs's Review Sourced from Google
I have had the pleasure of working with Glenn and his team many times over the last 6 years. As a strategic marketing consultant, having a reliable, strategic and affordable creative partner is critical. Sagon-Phior is my go-to for clients looking for a brand launch, refresh or just high quality design.
James Colford's Review Sourced from Google
This review has been a longtime coming. I have had the pleasure of working with both Rio and more recently Glenn on countless branding and marketing projects for financial services, healthcare and technology clients. Every time I bring them onto a project, they feel like an extension of both my team and the client. To them its more than just another project. Because of that, they're my go-to creative partners any time I need to explore a new brand direction with a client or need additional expertise on strategic marketing execution. They have decades of industry experience and produce quality creative. I think they're a good fit if you're looking to reach your audience on a deeper level and create a long lasting impression with your customer base.
Renee Tuzee's Review Sourced from Google
Glenn Sagon and Rio Phior are the best at helping clients uncover insights that lead to great marketing strategy, branding and advertising. I've been in the industry for 30+ years, and have worked with many talented agencies in my time, but Sagon-Phior goes above and beyond to ensure your business reaches its targets with precision, efficiency and creativity leading to high impact results. I can't say enough wonderful things about them and their team. If you want to grow your business, call them!

Web Design Review from Frédéric Colas
I gave Atticsalt control of the website design and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. I wanted a fun website and they delivered. They were helpful as well as very cost effective. The website was created within a week. I would highly recommend their services to any business.
Jawad Ali's Review Sourced from Google
While working for Primus Pharmaceuticals, the company contracted AtticSalt to rebrand one of our medical food lines. The product itself was known for its safety and efficacy, but the agency felt that the brand's identity didn't quite reflect those traits. We were all shocked by the new proposed look and feel. AtticSalt did an incredible job capturing the essence of the brand and they were a delight to work with. I personally recommend AS to everyone since that project.
A Google User's Review Sourced from Google
We hired AtticSalt to help us with naming, messaging and branding for our interior design studio. We chose them because we felt they were best equipped to help us create something that stood out from the industry usual. Their team took the time to understand our needs and goals before diving into the design of our identity. We absolutely love how the brand turned out and they did an incredible job capturing our personality. It's the first thing that our new clients complement us on. Totally worth the investment!

Working with Adam and his team has been a pleasure. They communicate clearly, have a structured process, excellently manage expectations and outcomes, and provide an exceptional value. Vicarel Studios is a stellar example of how all businesses should be run. I highly recommend using them for your graphic design, branding/logos, brand refresh needs.
Susie Grade's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Adam Vicarel and his team at Vicarel Studios was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They brought incredible creativity to the project, were highly professional in every interaction, and made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Adam and his team listened closely, offered thoughtful ideas, and delivered work that far exceeded expectations. I can’t recommend Vicarel Studios enough—if you’re looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely great team to collaborate with, look no further!
Bayli Morse's Review Sourced from Google
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. If you’re looking for a team that delivers killer artwork and knows how to make the process feel easy (and fun), Vicarel Studio is the one. 10/10 would do it all over again.

Fraley Morton's Review Sourced from Google
My company initially hired Refresh on an ad hoc basis, but as we engaged Kevin and his team on more and more projects, they quickly became a crucial and reliable partner. Refresh has helped our brand find direction and has brought so many ideas to life. A driven, creative and trustworthy team of great people that I cannot recommend enough!
Carlos Marin's Review Sourced from Google
Refresh is the way to go! I have recently teamed up with Refresh to help us create much needed packaging guidelines for a 93 year old tool manufacturer. Refresh has taken my creative thinking and packaging rules come to life in a visual - easy to read digital format. They have made this process seamless and a great experience. Good luck Kevin and team!
ConnDev Marketing's Review Sourced from Google
I highly recommend Kevin and his team. Simply, they just get it. My company, Spirent Communications, has used them several times to review highly technical material and bring out the simplicity in the story to produce promotional videos. They hit the nail on the head every time, are a pleasure to work with, and produce excellent material on tight deadlines. I can't recommend them enough!

We engaged RocketFuel on a sizeable marketing project that is listed as a case study on their website. After some time working together, we had prepaid some TV and radio advertisements. After a few months of poor performance, we decided to terminate the relationship. At the time of termination, RocketFuel acknowledged the prepaid funds as a debt to us. After almost a year of submitting it to colections and attorneys, we have still been unable to collect the bad debt. We held off from posting this publicly for a year, but want others to be aware as we have not progressed in the collection.

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 |
