We've been in the printing and graphic finishing industry for over 40 years so we know what it takes to be a reliable business partner that can produce innovative packaging that boost your sales!
What to look for in an outstanding Orange County Custom Packaging company.
Ingenuity
An outstanding packaging company knows both to anticipate potential problems (to avoid them) and how to fix issues that weren't expected.
In other words, you need a problem solver!
You need to be able to trust your retail packaging manufacturer to resolve any issues including:
- Structural design, including planning for unique display requirements
- Graphic design for branding and sales optimization
- Packaging project management including coordinating with your packaging fulfillment centers and third-party vendors.
- Expedited folding and gluing of packaging or marketing media
- Oversized or intricate design and finishing
Capability
Any packaging company can make claims about capabilities but how many have it all in-house? It's a little known that most packaging companies are not manufacturers but rather brokers.
This is critical to note because the more people you have involved in making your packaging, the higher your end cost will be and the higher the risk for delays in fulfillment!
Here's another little-known secret: most Orange County packaging manufacturers don't have all the necessary equipment. At one point or another, they will need to outsource some of the work, most often, steel rule die manufacturing or capacity folder creation.
Minimize your cost by working with the most capable all-in-one manufacturer!
Are you already working with a packaging company? Inquire how much of the work is done in-house.
If they need to outsource more than one process, you’re likely paying too much or at the very least increasing the chance that someone will mess up and delay completion of your project.
Flexibility
Do you need to make changes to your packaging? Is there a delay with one of your suppliers? Need a complete redo of your packaging?
Changes like these require a packaging partner that is nimble and flexible with your needs.
After being in business for more than forty years and having extensive experience in both printing and graphic finishing, we know how to mitigate your job and get it well on it’s way to completion.
We have a “whatever-it-takes” attitude and project management style. When you work with Graphic Finishers, you can feel confident that we will take care of all your packaging needs with expertise and precision.
Affordability
Though cost is an important consideration, it shouldn't be the primary deciding factor. There’s much more than the price that determines the success of your retail packaging.
At the end of the day, you want a packaging designer and manufacturer that you can rely on!

And remember --losing a sale is more expensive than paying more for premium packaging so choose your packaging partner wisely!
Location
Proximity comes into play when doing on-site visits. Even if you don’t plan on visiting often, you’ll likely meet with the designer often during the initial stages of packaging development.
Considering that your retail packaging is such a critical part of your sales, you’ll want to build a close relationship with your packaging manufacturer.
Location is also essential for pick-ups and delivery, too. Shipping can add up quickly when dealing with large quantities. Graphic Finishers has a fleet of reliable trucks available to do pick-ups and deliveries within a 100-mile radius of our Orange County location.
