Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been working with several companies - trying to nail down a box size and type for my organic tea business. Chris Martin was the ONLY rep in all of the companies I reached out to who was responsive, helpful, and walked me through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to give my small business dollars to Plus Printers! I will provide another review after I receive my custom product!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Chris Martin was so helpful and responsive! We needed custom folders made and looked at various different companies, but Plus Printers ended up offering the best quality and price. This was our first time ordering, but Chris guided us through every step and even sent us videos of sample folders and mockups of our final product so we could proceed with confidence. Thank you Chris and Plus Printers, we will definitely re-order when we run out of this batch.

We are very pleased with our packaging design! It was great working with Steven, I almost didn't work with Plus Printers because of their pricing but Steven went out of his way to try and negotiate prices with the sales department to fit our budget and offered us more budget-friendly packaging options as alternatives. Very responsive to my emails and made sure that our designs were how we wanted them! I look forward to working with them again soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

wonderful service from a company that went beyond expectation to help my project get up and running smoothly. My sales rep, Paul, and the design team at Plus Printers made sure to have every detail in place and gave me a quote other companies could not touch! Lead times were accurate and updates for shipping were by far the most stellar i have yet to see. Thanks a milion!
