Maude, a contemporary leader in sexual wellness, was founded on the principles of quality, simplicity, and inclusivity. Initially starting small, the company faced challenges and was often turned away by others. Our team embraced this challenge, assuming responsibility for primary packaging and ultimately becoming Maude’s principal point of contact. We provided comprehensive solutions to address various challenges and established a standardized color for all folding cartons to eliminate any potential confusion between different manufacturers. Through our dedicated support, Maude has experienced significant growth and is now proudly featured in prominent retailers such as Sephora, Urban Outfitters, and Target.

The Organic India project focused on creating a unique and visually appealing way to store and dispense their new daily pill packs. Led by Bill Thanel from the Philadelphia office, who collaborated closely with the Pittsburgh Design Center, developed a custom dispenser box paired with individual sachets, balancing convenience and brand integrity.  The outcome was four final retail SKUs that not only enhanced the consumer experience but also reinforced Organic India’s commitment to quality and sustainability, setting a new standard in the market. 

When a certain beauty and fashion giant tasked us with creating a countertop display for one of its fragrance lines, meant to celebrate the dreamlike world of nature, the dynamic duo of Ashley Ciamillo and Nathaniel Harry from Stephen Gould’s NYC office truly made fantasy a reality.

We created an innovative packaging solution for Vave’s Ultra ultrasound device. Challenged to design visually appealing yet practical packaging for global shipping, we transformed renderings and CADs into a manufacturable design. Keeping Vave’s desire for recyclability and a unique floating tray at the forefront of our work, we created an award-winning, turned edge box with meticulous sub-assemblies.

Palo Alto Networks is an industry leader in enterprise cybersecurity. They called on us to produce the packaging for Okyo, their first foray into consumer products. Okyo is a mesh-enabled router that secures all home devices from malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. It’s a heavy device with a white surface that could easily be scratched during shipping without secure packaging. Our Fremont, CA team developed an environmentally-friendly packaging concept involving stacked corrugate that provided the same level of protection as a foam insert. The result was aesthetically pleasing and sturdy enough for direct-to-consumer shipping, ensuring that Okyo would arrive at customer’s homes looking great.

Stephen Gould was tasked with redesigning the manufacturers award given at the annual Nascar speedway, an illustrious award given to the maker of the car who wins any NASCAR race event. Our industrial design team created numerous renderings to land on a 30lb all-glass trophy, laser-engraved with a stock car silhouette etched into the middle. It’s a truly unique interpretation of this award and celebrates the exceptional quality and workmanship of major car manufacturers such as Toyota, Chevrolet, and Ford.

As the go-to packaging expert for an innovative food start-up incubator based in Washington, D.C., we support all accelerator members through structural, graphic, and packaging design solutions. We created a multi-purpose packaging system for Modern Bar Cart, a new company serving products, recipes, and content to at-home bartenders. The result is a solution that acts as both a retail display and a carton to showcase several cocktail mixers together, while saving the company valuable time and money otherwise needed to redesign their product labels.

We created a luxury, incase sunglass display for Tom Ford at Neiman Marcus, where our expertise ensured top-tier design and manufacturing across a thousand units. Our team worked closely with the client to use Macassar wood, a material specific to the Tom Ford brand, and incorporated it into the display to create an elevated customer experience.

Sandler offers a full suite of results-driven training solutions to support sales, management, and leadership teams across the country. We created the structural design and interior components for a sales training kit that would equip franchisees around the world called “Sell More, Sell Everything.” The process also included rapid prototyping and kit assembly for the client.

Our client PUIG asked the New York City office to bring a large robot to life as part of their holiday display this year. We wanted the display to feel multi-dimensional and celebratory, so we incorporated materials like silver and gold mirrored mylar to achieve a sparkling effect. The entire display was built so that it could ship flat, and we managed the installation across 85 locations.
