Packaging Solutions for Ad Agencies in NYC

If you’re running a creative agency in NYC, you already know the stakes. Whether your office is on Madison Avenue or tucked away in a DUMBO loft, the pressure to deliver something "never been done before" for your clients is constant. You spend weeks perfecting the brand strategy and the visual identity, but when it comes time to put that brand in a customer’s hands, things often get stressful.

Finding a packaging partner who actually understands the agency workflow—and doesn't just treat you like another "order number"—is a massive pain point. That’s where we come in.

The High-Stakes Reality of NYC Advertising

Let’s be real: most packaging companies aren't built for the speed of a New York ad campaign. You have a launch date that isn't moving, a client with high expectations, and a creative team that wants a specific magnetic closure or a unique fabric wrap that most shops can't figure out.

At Petra & Holum, we’ve been solving these exact problems since 1933. We aren't just a "box factory" in Chicago. We’re a legacy manufacturer that has spent over 91 years innovating things you use every day—in fact, we were the first ones to use magnets in packaging and the first to bring Velcro to this side of the world. When you’re dealing with a high-stakes pitch or a global product launch, you need that kind of "been-there-done-that" expertise on your side.

Solving the "Last-Mile" Headache

The biggest fear for any NYC account manager is the "overseas delay." You find a cheap source, but then your influencer kits are stuck in a shipping container in the middle of the ocean while your launch clock is ticking.

Because our main facility is right here in the Midwest, we act as the backyard partner for NYC agencies. We’re in the same time zone, we speak the same language, and our "Made in the USA" pride means your deliverables show up at your client’s door (or your agency’s lobby) exactly when they’re supposed to. No customs, no excuses, just craftsmanship.

Packaging That Actually Tells a Story

In a city with over 15,000 marketing firms, "good enough" packaging is a death sentence for a brand. Your clients are looking for an unboxing experience that feels like a red-carpet event. We specialize in the high-touch stuff that NYC agencies love:

  • Influencer & PR Kits: We build the kind of heavy-duty, premium-finish boxes that people actually want to keep on their shelves.
  • Custom Sewn Products: Sometimes a box isn't the answer. We create bespoke sewn cases and luxury fabric packaging that stands out in a sea of cardboard.
  • High-End Pitch Binders: When you're pitching a billion-dollar brand, your presentation needs to feel heavy, tactile, and expensive. Our "Euro-Crease" binders are the industry gold standard for a reason.

Your Vision, Engineered

One of the biggest frustrations we hear from New York creatives is: "I have this amazing idea, but the manufacturer says they can't build it."

We don't say no; we engineer a way to say yes. Our team of artisans loves the challenge of a complex project. From structural integrity (so your package doesn't arrive crushed) to the fine details of foil stamping and litho-lamination, we make sure the physical product looks exactly like your digital mockup.
