Testimonials

It was excellent working with Dave Branson throughout the project process.  It was a very informative professional analysis of our problem.  We had regular calls and the project deliverables were completed as promised.  

Colton was very thorough in taking the data during our packaging trials and also aligning the team members on next steps during the fluid nature of each trial.

Dustin was very knowledgeable and thorough.  We very much appreciated his professionalism and insights throughout the on site assessment

Worked with John Boldt at BoldtSmith on a design project recently.  Couldn't be more satisfied with the process and results!  I will definitely recommend BoldtSmith and will not hesitate to work with them in the future.  

Our goal was to get from failing ISTA 3 to passing ISTA 6A.  The proposed package does that and is more compact.  What was to be only a packaging improvement has become a huge DTV for Broan due to the 25% more per pallet.  Some of the M-Can production is moving to our Mexico facility.  The shipping savings will be in the 100's of thousands.

BoldtSmith Packaging was a huge help to my company and assisted in securing multiple continuous improvement projects and realizing cost savings for my team.

Our organization needed to reduce quality complaints due to shipping. Great staff and were easy to work with, very diligent with on time task completion! Very agreeable team, efficient and knowledgeable. 10-10 recommend!

This was my first time working with BoldtSmith and the entire experience was very positive. The team reacted to an emergency need and performed quickly and efficiently to resolve our shipping container needs. We will certainly bring more work to them in the future.

BoldtSmith Packaging was able to solve all of our packaging issues within the tight deadlines that we gave them. BoldtSmith Packaging gave updates daily on progress and drop test results. The final presentation for each packaging solution completed was much appreciated. 

BoldtSmith did a good job executing on the assessment phase of the project.  Very responsive and communicative. Attentive to needs, changes. Reliable. Dustin did a good job leading the work

My company recently worked in collaboration with BoldtSmith on a packaging design project and it went very well right from the beginning. The project itself required a lot of attention to detail due to the packaging and protection requirements that were necessary. I worked with Max from their team and he did a fantastic job executing on all levels. All of the work was done in a timely, professional and satisfactory manner. I would highly recommend their design and consulting services!

BoldtSmith has been a great partner throughout the design process. They are extremely responsive to their customers’ needs. We had a product form factor change that resulted in a need to change our packaging design. Within one day they had a prototype to us, and within less than four days they were able to test the new design to ISTA standards. After less than a week we had a fully validated updated design with drawings and artwork. This was critical to keep our project on schedule.

BoldtSmith Packaging went above and beyond expectations with managing this program even though the end customer kept changing requirements.  Very easy to work with and high level of industry knowledge.  Jack Ader was beneficial in providing several options and ultimately guiding the program to the right solution

Our overall experience with Max Zukowski went extremely well.  Max went the extra mile to make sure we got what we needed with tight deadlines.  Max is the man!

Working with BoldtSmith Packaging has been a real pleasure. Their knowledge and expertise are second to none. They have helped to bring our ideas to life and find an excellent solution to our costly and inefficient process. John’s expertise in corrugated displays was critical in the design phase. He provided excellent guidance on how to get optimal savings and reduced our individual component inventory while keeping structural integrity top of mind. BoldtSmith Packaging was extremely helpful and always hands-on from conception through to delivery. We are already utilizing them for another project and will continue to trust in them for future packaging projects.

Dustin Smith is a knowledgeable, innovative, self-starter with a positive professional attitude. His ideas/design contributions, combined with his ability to work with our suppliers and top customers are a true testament to his wide-ranging skill set. He is able to implement cost-effective packaging, listens to all requests for changes, and has the ability to communicate with me every step of the process; this encompasses his true character and interpersonal skills. I Would highly recommend his services for any packaging-related project and will continue to work with him again and again.

"The BoldSmith team did very well during the assessment.  I would recommend the team in the future."

BoldtSmith Packaging was a pleasure to work with. We needed a packaging consultant for a project on short notice, and they were able to deliver. The team was clear about their capabilities and how we’d integrate with our internal teams and manufacturers. We’d appreciated their timely status updates and open communication.

We had a great experience working with BoldtSmith Packaging on this project.  The project team adapted well to some changes and provided us everything we needed.  Communication was great through this entire project.  We had weekly meetings and were notified if anything changed with the packaging design.  The Winston Team appreciates all the help and would gladly send a recommendation for BoldtSmith Packaging.
