CREATIVE AND PRODUCTION
Winning awards is not our goal–getting you results is our goal. When you partner with us, you get outstanding engineering expertise and high production values, so your piece is stunning and effective. And thats why we win awards.
We are not sales-oriented, we’re solution-oriented. You can count on us to make suggestions to save time, money, or offer other enhancements such as making your piece more durable, visually impactful, or environmentally-friendly.
Steve Schrier, President of Communipak
, has been working in the presentation packaging industry since 1976. Steve puts his deep knowledge of the trade to work for each project’s success. His knowledge of products, materials and production processes allow him to offer a range of products and ideas to suit your goals, timeframe and budget.
Communipak’s plants are key manufacturers of finished products in the communication packaging industry. Most of our production takes place under one roof. Our “one roof” philosophy means we are in control of our own scheduling and quality standards. We’ve invested in state-of-the-art equipment, providing for efficient, cost-effective—and, above all—high-quality production. Many of our facilities are certified ISO 9001, meeting international standards for quality management practices.
Communipak’s commitment to practical solutions, quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction are why we are the number one choice among our clients for communications packaging. We believe that few can meet our standards for reliability and value returned from your investment.
Our projects have consistently won awards from industry groups, including: Binding Industries of America, Printing Industries of America, Screen Printers International, Business Mailing Association (BMA) and Direct Mail Association (DMA). Although we’re proud of our awards, we’re most proud of our long-term relationships with our clients.
At Communipak we specialize in customization, but we understand restrictions due to budget and schedule. While we strongly encourage “thinking outside the box,” we’ve also found setting limits on creativity can produce a wonderful product within budget. We have the expertise to let you know when creative ideas and budget don’t match, and we’ll work with you to produce a unique project that will help your company or product stand above the crowd.
We have over 3,000 standard dies in stock (structural templates) to save you money. If we don’t stock what you want, our dies serve as a starting point so we can get to the solution more quickly. Our CAD/CAM operators will modify an existing design or create an entirely new one to create the perfect piece. Communipak’s talented plant personnel can execute your designs with confidence.
Communipak always works to give you the best value. We will provide a variety of options so you can get the best product for your budget.

Production
Presentation packaging is more complex than most other types of marketing materials. We prefer, on average, 12 to 15 working days for most pieces, yet with our deep experience and vast production capabilities, we can meet most tight deadlines. We don’t say no unless we’ve exhausted all possibilities.
Whether you’re shipping overnight for a tight deadline or allowing 5 to 7 business days to save money, Communipak will expertly package up your project so it arrives in pristine condition. We have a long relationship with all the major carriers, including FedEx, UPS and the postal service.
We have used Communipak for several projects and when this new concept shaped up, we immediately thought of them. The direct mail project was very unique and required a creative and resourceful supplier. Conceptually, we took a box and transformed it into a cat swallowing a computer mouse! When we showed Communipak the conceptual drawing, they jumped right into the project, producing a protoype and a budget.
Of course, this project kept changing and Communipak worked very well with us as a creative partner—producing revised prototypes and pricing.
Once final approval occurred, we had a very short lead time for production–Communipak came through, handling printing, fulfillment and mailing. Our success was capped by our client receiving 5,000 new contracts!

Communipak proved themselves in several ways. They sent us samples of totes and educated us on the products and the production process. They kept us informed about pricing and schedule as we pursued different possibilities for this project, and in the end, they delivered a quality product.
Communipak is NOT one of those vendors that you have to follow up with everyday. From the time I release final art, to delivery of final product, they give me complete confidence that my project will deliver in a timely manner and will be an award winning piece. They are such a great resource for me.
Communipak is a valuable resource when we need to produce a promotional package. They have been very helpful! They find solutions to fit our design and our budget. When a project gets a green light, I can be confident that all will turn out as expected.
