Forty years in paper

Randy Williams has sold paper for forty years, and his Colorado print shop makes boxes, pocket folders, journals and cards, and die-cuts custom shapes.

He was already helping brands think their packaging through. From the outside, though, the shop looked like one more box maker, the kind people compare on price.

What we found first

The difference came before the order

Randy hears out a brand’s idea, brings ideas of his own, and puts a hand-glued sample in front of them before they spend money on a run.

“Is this about what you’re thinking?”

That’s what he asks when he hands it over. We built the positioning on that question, so the website could start where Randy does, with what a brand is trying to make.

Built on how Randy works

We wrote the positioning and the messaging around the partner Randy already was, and his website launched on them in December 2024. In 2026 we kept building: new homepage copy, and pages for soap, candle and small-business boxes.

Behind it, a lead system: every inquiry from the site reaches Randy by email with what the brand makes, how many it needs and by when, so he knows the size of the job before he replies.

Result

The leads ask for more than a box

They come in through the website’s form, and some ask outright for a partner to help them think it through.

They’re custom jobs: a dimensional holiday gift, food packed like a present, inserts to hold candles in place.
