Super together place, the mascot yellow dog “Lucy” came out and greeted us. They are very flexible here and capable of very personalized printing.

My initial print order didn’t come out as expected and Jenny was super helpful in making it right, and then shipped the reprint to me. I really appreciate their commitment to delight their customer!

Love this woman-founded company! The staff at YellowDog is incredible easy to communicate with, and they are highly responsive.

Don't pass up the chance to work with them!

I’d like to give a HUGE shoutout to the “Branding Is What We Do” team! It’s a great opportunity to collaborate with individuals that bring your vision to life. I started with a logo BUT their talent and professionalism prompted the creation of a website and business cards (two styles for different occasions) with QR code linking customers directly to the webpage. “Time is money”…save your time and invest your funds into an organization that can optimize your business.
Anthony Gallegos's Review Sourced from Google
I run a small martial arts club and was a bit timorous about the whole process of using a big-time branding agency. My prejudice was that my project would be too "small-fish" for these guys, and that I would be treated as such. Gratefully, Roman returned my call very quickly and treated me like a king from the very first step. He listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions and really took the time to educate me on the different options and possibilities without ever any pressure to be “up-sized”. In fact, after I was able to finally articulate what I was looking for, Roman suggested a perfect fit- and one that was more economical. The product is beautiful. 10/10, Roman. Many thanks.

We had the privilege of getting our company logo done with Roman. He is so helpful and understood the vision perfectly. He created three concepts for us, two of them were based on the vision details we spoke about and the third we agreed to give complete creative freedom. While the first two were exactly what we were discussing, the third one captured our vision with glowing detail and requiring only minimal revision. 10/10 would recommend!
We bring your vision to fruition. We are driven by your success and understand the transformative power of a brand that authentically represents who you are and what your organization brings to the table. As your dedicated creative partner, our mission is to breathe life into that vision...

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.
