Branding Review from Barrett Wilbanks
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!

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.

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!

Product Design Review from Brandon Wong
If you're looking to develop a product, look no further. Whether or not your an aspiring entreprenuer who is ready to appear on Shark Tank or a Fortune 500 company, Phil and his team at StudioRed will have your back. We initially developed a product using another engineering firm that went sideways. Because of this, we started looking at other firms to help pick up where we left off. Trust me, we were not in good shape! After some formidable research, we found StudioRed's expertise and portfolio to be a perfect match. An initial phone call with the owner sealed the deal. They immediatley jumped to help our situation and utilized all their resources and network to get what we needed accomplished. I've dealt with dozens of vendors being a business owner for nearly a decade and this was by far one of the best experiecnes we've ever had, hands down. Thank you Phil and the team and SR for everything!
Product Design Review from George Flanigan
Studio Red rocks! As a business owner myself, finding a company that is very professional, structured, efficient and has amazing customer service is rare in this day and age. They helped me bring my original prototype to life. Once proven and tested, it was time to revise and bring the professional feel of the product to the fore front. Studio Red had their team jump right in and provided us with multiple visions to choose from. Without their help, I never could have accomplished such an amazing prototype. I would recommend them to anyone. I would also like to thank everyone at Studio Red for doing such a great job. Cheers.
Vas K.'s Review Sourced from Google
Studio Red is an awesome and extremely knowledgeable and professional team!My company and I worked with them as a partner (not a client) with already three projects and it's always a pleasure. Here's why:1. They do personally care about the projects.2. The owners/founders are always involved and ensure the top-end results.3. They know all the ins and outs of the industrial design and think several steps ahead to avoid potential pitfalls.4. Their design team is fast, responsive, positive, and pleasant to work with.Overall when working with Studio Red expect your project to go smooth and at the highest-level possible.

Web Design Review from David Weir MSN, APRN, NP-C
Working with Peachy Digitals has been one of the best decisions I've made for my business. From the initial website redesign to ongoing support, their team has consistently exceeded my expectations. They transformed my vision into a modern, luxury website that perfectly represents the Ultimate Skin Source brand while creating an intuitive experience for my patients and customers. Their communication is exceptional, they're incredibly responsive, and every request or revision is handled quickly and professionally. What sets them apart is that they don't just execute tasks they actively provide thoughtful recommendations and creative solutions that have made the website even better than I originally envisioned. They also built our eCommerce platform, integrated complex functionality, and continue to provide reliable maintenance and support. Knowing I have a team I can trust gives me tremendous peace of mind. If you're looking for a company that combines technical expertise, creativity, professionalism, and outstanding customer service, I cant recommend Peachy Digitals highly enough. They've become a true partner in the growth of my business, and I look forward to working with them for years to come.
Web Design Review from jennifer ellis
Muhammad was fantastic to work with. He was responsive, patient, and incredibly accommodating throughout the project. He took my ideas and turned them into a professional brand and website that I'm proud of. He communicated well, handled revisions without hesitation, and made sure I was happy with every detail. I highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again.

Ryan Gordon's Review Sourced from Google
We commissioned Sickboat to create a short video for our wedding. The celebration was held in Big Sur, CA and Scott kindly agreed to make the trip. We didn’t give him much direction but we are absolutely thrilled with the final product. Scott managed to capture every moment; from the walk down the isle, to the late night dancing and shenanigans, his shots recorded every emotion. His drone work of the Big Sur cliffs and editing exceeded everything we had hoped for. His creative vision produced something that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Scott and the Sickboat team for any video projects, big or small, near or far.
Clark Olson's Review Sourced from Google
It's been amazing working with SickBoat! These guys are awesome and bring a ton of great creative and functional insight to the table. We needed help with a website and so much more. SickBoat took a lot of stress out of the launching process and helped create a seem-less system for future success. Your brand and vision are in good hands!
Clay Perry's Review Sourced from Google
If you are looking for an awesome creative agency that will not only listen to your needs but deliver a unique video, website, or branding job, Scott and the Sickboat crew are the team. They have the experience and talent that lends itself to bringing your vision to fruition - plus they are fun to work with! Scott produced a short film surrounding an epic trip to Belize for our non-profit excursion. The story that Sickboat was able to tell allowed us to promote future trips and volunteering efforts in a dynamic and compelling fashion. I highly recommend Sickboat Creative Studios

Rob Finley's Review Sourced from Google
Simply the best overall branding and creative firm I’ve worked with in my over three decades experience. The team is amazingly impressive and solid. Time after time, they continue to top their last project.I’ve worked with Traina on nearly a dozen projects and our confidence in their innate ability to create branding and creative that not embodies the organization, but elevates them.When our team is in need of amazing work, we literally don’t look to other firms. We only look to Traina. And that’s a testament to the work they do, the absolute trust in their people, and their work.
Tracy Wadlington-Vandenbroek's Review Sourced from Google
In case you're looking for a reliable and creative company to handle your branding and rebranding needs, Traina should definitely be your top choice. Their outstanding work on my previous company's rebrand in was nothing short of impressive, and we received consistent praise from everyone who saw the results. I am confident they will deliver impactful solutions that will exceed your expectations. Don't hesitate to work with them, you won't regret it!

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.
