  BoldtSmith Packaging is a recognized leader in packaging design, testing and optimization for displays, retail packaging and shipping crates. Our mission is to manage the transition from having reactive packaging problems to proactive packaging solutions. Our clients may have an existing packaging team that is overburdened with projects and requires our assistance to provide relief. Other customer’s do not have a packaging team and hire us to be their packaging engineer without the added financial obligation of having a full-time associate. Companies with seasonal products have increased workloads during times of onboarding for new and existing SKU’s. We provide the packaging expertise to ensure your product gets to the store with cost efficient, smart packaging. Our solutions are provided with speed that go beyond the typical 9 to 5 business day to meet retailer deadlines. Please see our website: www.boldtsmithpackagingconsultants.com Show less
