I suspect that this whole agency is a scam. Try calling them and speaking to someone in person, you won't get through or ever talk to anyone. Red flags everywhere, don't get taken by this.

Excellent Company for Printing and Stickers!We ordered printed sheets and stickers from them and were extremely satisfied with the results. The work was high-quality, with vibrant colors and durable materials. I especially want to highlight their punctuality — everything was ready exactly on time, without any delays. The team is always responsive, quick to answer questions, and helps choose the best solutions. Highly recommend to anyone who values reliability and top quality!

Excellent service! Went in to order 300 die-cut, custom stickers. Ani was super helpful, professional, and pleasant. I got my stickers right in time, as I asked to have them in a day. Fast service, very affordable prices. I am now a loyal customer and would definitely come back! Thank you for your service!

Nick Armstrong's Review Sourced from Google
Terrible Customer Service!Completely unprofessional and unhelpful. My four businesses have been going here for over 10 years at this point. Something must have changed in the last year or so because they do not do a good job and don't care about you as a loyal customer and refuse to help you. Their shipping has failed multiple times, and when you ask for help, they either have no answers or can't do anything. I spoke with a manager, he promised to follow up and never did. He told me he’d send a email and update me, that never happened. On top of that, he raised his voice at me, which was totally out of line. There are far better options out there. We found a company that did the same job for nearly $100 less, with free shipping. We got it rushed too! And was still cheaper! Avoid this place if you value your time, events, and money. And if their shipping messes up, good luck getting help from Got Print, they will do absolutely NOTHING to help you out. To them that’s just not their responsibility. They ruined a part of our event for their incompetence when I did everything I was supposed to do ordering. And even if shipping messed up, you still have a responsibility to help. I’m sure I’ll get some boiler plate response from them because I’m sure they’re too lazy to even do proper customer service. I’m not gonna call you back, you’ve lost my businesses and all my friends businesses.

I was hesitant with all the terrible reviews I read, but I needed a foam board for a bridal shower welcome sign and Got Print was half the price from staples AND it was printed double sided which I needed since I’m hanging it from a rack that will see it on both sides. I also was close enough to Burbank where I could pick up and avoid the delivery chaos. So I figured I’d roll the dice. Staples was charging double and only single sided. This came out perfect!! Photos show my digital design and then the final product. Just what I needed. Thank you Got Print!I ordered at 8:50pm on July 1st and this was ready for pick up at 12pm on July 3rd. So fast (I did pay a few bucks more for rush production and for the drilled holes on top to hang with ribbon) but total was $42.Will be using again!

Update: I previously gave this company a 4 star, but I'm altering it to a 1 star. 14 days (9 business days) after placing an order, my materials are still "in production". No communication. It's undependable at this point and I'll no longer be using this company. ////// I've used this company a few times now for business cards and appreciate their speed. The consistency of the cuts could be better, but I don't have a large sample size to compare the quality of their cuts vs other companies... maybe it's as good as it gets. I have to knock off one star because of the shipping cost. For 600 business cards, their cheapest shipping option was over $19...

Frequently Asked Questions
Do top packaging design agencies offer prototyping?
Yes. Top packaging design companies usually offer prototyping to test structure, materials, and visual design before mass production. This step prevents costly production errors and ensures the packaging works in real conditions.
Most agencies provide:
- Structural prototypes to test size, durability, and product fit
- Printed mockups to review colors, typography, and branding
- Material samples such as cardboard, glass, plastic, or sustainable options
- Production-ready samples that match the final manufacturing specs
Prototyping confirms that the packaging protects the product, looks correct on the shelf, and meets supplier requirements before full production begins.
How much do packaging design firms charge for their services?
Packaging design usually costs $5,000 to $100,000+, depending on complexity, number of products, and partner type. Simple packaging is on the low end. Regulated, luxury, or multi–Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) packaging is on the high end.
Typical ranges based on DesignRush data:
- Basic packaging: $5,000 to $20,000
- Standard packaging systems: $20,000 to $100,000
- Complex or luxury packaging: $100,000 to $250,000+
Hourly rates:
- Agencies: $100-$200 per hour
- Freelancers: $25-$45 per hour
Costs increase with custom structures, compliance requirements, premium materials, and multiple SKUs.
Are there any hidden fees?
Yes. Packaging design projects often have costs that don’t show up in the initial quote. These hidden fees usually come from real-world production realities, not creative work.
Common extra costs:
- Print prepress and proofs: Preparing files for press and checking color accuracy
- Material tests and samples: Checking substrates, coatings, finishes
- Dieline engineering: Structural tweaks for fit and machinery
- Compliance/legal labeling changes: Extra cost if new markets or rules apply
- Revisions beyond contract scope: Extra charge if the brief wasn’t clear
- Freight/storage for prototypes: Physical sample handling fees
These fees happen because packaging must work with production equipment, materials, and regulations. Always define the scope and ask for a production-ready cost estimate up front.
What is the timeline for completion?
A packaging design project usually takes 4 to 8 weeks for simple packaging and 2 to 4+ months for complex launches. Timeline depends on the number of SKUs, revisions, and production requirements.
Typical timeline ranges:
- Simple project (one SKU): 4 to 8 weeks
- Multiple SKUs or variants: 6 to 12 weeks
- Complex or regulated packaging: 8 to 16+ weeks
- Full product launch with prototypes: 3 to 4+ months
Time increases due to:
- Design revisions and stakeholder approvals
- Prototype creation and testing
- Dieline and manufacturer approvals
- Compliance and legal checks
Packaging is tied to manufacturing, so production steps often take longer than the design itself.
Do packaging design agencies collaborate with manufacturers?
Yes. Packaging design firms regularly collaborate with manufacturers to ensure packaging is produced correctly and efficiently. Their collaboration prevents production errors, delays, and costly reprints.
Packaging design companies typically work with manufacturers to:
- Create and approve dielines that match production machines
- Confirm materials and finishes will print and perform correctly
- Review print proofs and color accuracy before mass production
- Coordinate prototypes and production samples
- Resolve technical constraints like folding, sealing, or labeling
This collaboration ensures the final packaging works in real manufacturing conditions, not just on screen.
