Our mission to inspire over the last 30 years continues to actively shape our corporate future. By leveraging our design and manufacturing knowledge, we create consumer experiences, within defined parameters, to inspire and drive growth. Design Packaging believes in working with people that live and breathe retail, understand that design is beautiful only when it lives up to it's promise, and delivers on time. Plus, we have to like each other. We're not "Yes-people" nor a "vendor", our goal is to become a collaborative extension of your brand.

Our cross-disciplinary process integrates design thinking, product development, and mass production knowledge within the management of our global supply chain. This holistic approach provides your team the knowledge and foresight needed to overcome those unforeseen hurdles we've come to expect in the business of fashion and retail. Our team's design thinking process delivers diverse, and dynamic, creative solutions across luxury, retail, and fashion. Design Packaging's people, their talents, and their commitment, will inspire you.

Good design creates an opportunity, the parameters we set define the space in which we design.   Evelio Mattos is the Creative Director of both Design Packaging Inc., and FORMA Structural Packaging, as well as Editor of TheDieline Packaging Blog. His reputation as one of the leading structural and visual packaging designers for international retail brands has led to collaborative partnerships spanning industries from tech, fashion & beauty, to include wine & spirits.

Our team of directors, graphic artists, industrial designers, and ‘Creative Production’ artists, are involved in the development of powerful user-centric branded retail experiences. We strategically identify packaging “users” to include distribution centers, fulfillment staff, retail associates, recycling centers, and the ultimate user… consumers.    Evelio’s experience in streamlining and retooling manufacturing processes has led to launching the first ever “Creative Production” team. The team’s focus is twofold, Structural Functionality, and Print Optimization. By applying these two principals, our team is able to deliver the designer’s on-screen expectation to an in-hand experience. 

Chief Operating Officer Michelle Meier, oversees Design Packaging’s global business around the clock. Complete visibility of our supply chain process allows for collaborative decision making between planning, purchasing, and design to happen in real-time. This approach creates flexibility at all stages of production and distribution, while analyzing and communicating the ever-changing dynamics of a global supply chain. Our manufacturing methodology has also allowed us to form long term partnerships in Asia enabling us to truly value engineer, develop large buys of raw materials, and streamline production processes.

DPI’s Asia team, established within each manufacturing supplier provides the oversight required to reduce material wastage, increase output while maintaining pricing, and manage our quality assurance procedures. Understanding that each brand has unique needs, we’ve built a customizable Supply Planning Process that’s scalable to suit those individual needs. Our goal is to create flexibility, personalization, and to eliminate supply-chain friction at every opportunity. We invite you to visit us.
