Branding Review from Abby Smith, TMP
Our business has been working with id8 since late 2023, and their team has always been timely, organized and professional. The first time they unveiled our new logo, it was like Christmas morning! Since then, we've worked with them on complex projects like building a new website, coordinating photo shoots and updating signage for our office. Those are just a few of the things they have done for us, and they have always been so thoughtful and diligent in how they approach each project. Their approach is rooted in research and data, so we can feel confident we are making the right choices. Our meetings are always fun and lively, because the whole team is so personable. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with them!
Marketing Strategy Review from Mariana Lopez
I have been working with Id8 for a few years now and it has been a truly wonderful experience. The team consistently goes above and beyond to accommodate our needs and is always brainstorming new ideas to elevate our marketing and branding presence. They are incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. Id8 has become a trusted ally for our company and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them.
Adam N's Review Sourced from Google
id8 was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had coordinated with Brandi on getting a new logo made for multiple avenues I wanted to pursue and she was able to help me design a logo/brand that I'm totally in love with. From the very beginning and all the way to the end, she was always able to deliver, provide feedback and execute stunning design options that were all so good. She was also able to take my logo/branding goals of being versatile and transforming those ideas into concepts that spoke volume. Though making a decision on just one design out of a couple was hard in the end, I eventually went with one that had the best look and feel that represented what my brand needed to be. I would highly recommend id8 for any graphic design work as they are awesome at creating designs that have a deeper philosophical meaning that will make anyone appreciate the reasonings behind what they create.

Graphic Design Review from Candice Wynter (She/Her)
My organization worked with Creative Repute over a nearly 6-month period (January 2021 - July 2021). Everything Creative Repute developed for us is still functioning great and running smoothly. While we had to work out a few process and timing kinks along the way, CR was a joy to work with and a hard working team. If you're looking for a creative, thoughtful, and values-forward team, then look no further than Creative Repute.
The Colored Girls Museum's Review Sourced from Google
The Colored Girls Museum has now worked with Creative Repute Design Agency on several high visibility projects . Including Custom Wallpaper designed by Nile Livingston which took center stage at Philadelphia Airport backing our installation (Sit A Spell ) which was on view for nine months. The inspiration for the wallpaper came from Niles postcard design for our show The One Room Schoolhouse . We loved the design so much we created other merch around it . At present the wallpaper can be seen at The Colored Girls Museum in the Colored Boys Room. Most recently Creative Repute turned around the poster appearing soon at Mother Bethel which is the kick off location for The Tribute to The 7th Ward Legacy Reclaimed . Walking Tour . Always a pleasure to work with Nile and her team . Excellent customer service , beautiful design work .Most important to us intuitive and client centered approach to graphic design that exceeds what we can imagine when we approach them with a sketch of an idea. Hire them ! Bonus fact Nile Livingston is one of the portrait Artist at The Colored Girls Museum , now also on view at Mother Bethel.
Jen Y.'s Review Sourced from Google
The team at Creative Repute has remained consistently responsive and patient as we all adjust to the changes happening in the world due to Covid-19. They creatively redesigned our Save-The-Date to accommodate a virtual event because we are unsure about when people will feel comfortable meeting face to face again. I appreciate the project manager’s uplifting, calm, and positive outlook and the quality of their team’s design work. I highly recommend.

Jennifer Smith's Review Sourced from Google
Our experience working with Andrew and his team at Special Sauce was excellent. We wanted to do a brand refresh and custom website for our company and they made the process very streamlined. Their communication was fantastic and we are so pleased with our new design and website. Shoutout to Liz as she really worked to accomodate any changes we wanted. We would recommend Special Sauce and will use them in the future!

Jennifer Fukuda's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve worked with Andrew and his team at Special Sauce across multiple brands and stages over the last eight years, including al fresco and ButcherBox, and he consistently brings clarity and momentum to complex brand work. He gets up to speed quickly, builds trust with senior stakeholders, and translates strategy into messaging and design that holds up in market. His work helps brands evolve without losing who they are, and that shows up in both the thinking and the execution.

Jason Brown's Review Sourced from Google
Tray and his team have been great to work with. They took our brand and built a social media campaign that is creating engagement on social media and is causing our enrollment for summer camp to grow by 8%!
Brenda Roh's Review Sourced from Google
Gridwell Group has truly been such a blessing to work with. From the very beginning, Tray showed up with excellence, patience, and a genuine commitment to helping us bring our vision to life. He and his team created our landing pages, set up our Agora suite, and transferred our website, and they did it all with such care, quality, and timeliness. In a season where every detail matters, Tray’s steady leadership and commitment to doing things the right way gave us so much peace. What meant the most to me was that it never felt transactional. Tray cares about the mission, cares about the outcome, and consistently delivered above and beyond what we hoped for. His work exceeded every expectation, and I am deeply grateful for the way he and his team has served us. I cannot recommend Gridwell Group enough. They are talented, dependable, thoughtful, and truly excellent at what they do.

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 |
