I help manufacturers and growing businesses find the right packaging — faster, smarter, and at the right price. No runaround. Just solutions.
Don Swanson
With decades of experience in the corrugated packaging industry working directly for a job shop manufacturer, I've helped businesses of all sizes solve their packaging challenges — from custom box design and quotations on current custom size cartons and packaging items.
I work directly with my clients to understand their products, their operations, and their goals. Then I bring the right solutions to the table — competitive pricing, quality, and reliable service.
Based in Chicago, I serve manufacturers throughout Chicagoland. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to improve what you already have, I'm here to help.
"I don't just sell packaging. I solve problems."
From a single box spec to a full packaging audit — I cover it all.
Need a box that fits your product perfectly? I'll measure it and make testable samples you can use to ensure it protects what you're shipping.
Talk directly to me as I am a representative for the manufacturer.
Launching something new? I'll help you get from concept to carton — on time and on budget.
Need a reliable packaging contact on call? I work with clients on an ongoing basis as a trusted resource.
Straightforward expertise. No corporate layers. No runaround.
You work with me directly or my inside staff. No junior reps. No call centers. When you reach out, you get someone who knows your account and your needs.
Ongoing years of experience working through a dependable job shop manufacturer in Chicago.
I give you honest advice, even when the answer is to stick with what you have. My goal is your long-term trust, not a quick close.
Tell me a little about your business and I'll reach out within one business day.
I typically respond within one business day. Looking forward to connecting.
