Project Spotlight
Luxury Shopping Bags With a Tariff Twist
A first-time packaging client faced delays when tariff concerns paused their order. With a little patience (and the right sourcing partner in Vietnam), we’re now producing a beautiful, custom bag with herringbone handles and 1-color print inside and out. First samples arrive soon!

What’s Ahead
Next month I’ll be attending Amplify Print in Chicago and the Summer Fancy Food Show in NYC. I go to these events to bring back trends, materials, and packaging insights so me (and my clients) stay ahead of what’s next.
