Senior Manager, Innovation Incubator, Brady Corporation

Our goal was to get from failing ISTA 3 to passing ISTA 6A. The proposed package does that and is more compact. What was to be only a packaging improvement has become a huge DTV for us due to the 25% more per pallet. Some of the M-Can production is moving to our Mexico facility. The shipping savings will be in the 100’s of thousands.

We selected BoldtSmith as a partner because they not only helped us find the best solution, they helped us show our industry you can find both cost-reduction and sustainability solutions. Working with BoldtSmith really opened our eyes. All of the data they were able to show us through their methodology was astonishing. And they were able to translate that data into a smart solution that really made it an easy decision.

Dustin is a knowledgeable, innovative, self-starter with a positive professional attitude. His ideas/design contributions and ability to work with our suppliers and top customers was a true testament to his wide-ranging skillset. He  implemented cost-effective packaging, listened to all requests for changes, and was able to communicate every step of the process; this encompasses his true character and interpersonal skills.

Working with BoldtSmith has been a real pleasure. Their knowledge and expertise are second to none. They brought our ideas to life and found solutions for our costly and inefficient process.

Extremely helpful and always hands-on from conception through to delivery. We will continue to trust in them for future projects.
