ADD BRANDING:

CU STO M PACKAGING O PT I O N S Whether you’re creating a Kit to

promote your event or are sending a gift to your client, we can help you find the perfect packaging option for your needs. Packaging is fully customizable and the possibilities are endless!

A. GIFT BOXES WITH RIBBON These boxes are a perfect way to elevate your gift. The unbranded boxes are wrapped with a ribbon that aligns with your brand colors. Gift boxes are shipped inside a shipping box so the contents are protected.

B. BRANDED INSERTS Customize a full color, double-sided insert with your own design and messaging. Inserts can be used for promoting your brand, introducing your Kit contents, or as a Thank You note!

C. TISSUE PAPER + SEALING STICKERS Colored tissue paper is another great way to add a high quality feel to your gift. We can print custom branded tissue paper or find a color that aligns with your brand. A sticker to close off your tissue wrapping adds another branding opportunity and secures the contents of your gift.

D. CUSTOM MAILER BOXES D

These mailer boxes are fully customizable and can be printed on every side. Mailer boxes fold into themselves and add a refined feel over standard shipping boxes. Custom printed boxes can take about 4-5 weeks.

A company store is an easy-to-use website that streamlines your custom merch distribution. Your online store can be shared with your employees and / or clients, making it easy to shop. Our company stores are built on Shopify and are managed by the DLW team. Standard company stores take about 2 weeks to complete. Added custom functionality may add time and cost to your store setup. All products must be purchased ahead of time.

FOR WOMEN X BY WOMEN:

G R A PH I C DESIGN S E R VI C ES The Golden State Warriors For Women x By Women collection is available in Chase Center shops. Our team was approached by Fanatics to create an exclusive womenswear line for the fans of the NBA team the Golden State Warriors. The goal of the project was to create apparel that fans would want to wear both at games and beyond the stadium. With the client’s goals in mind, we created custom designs and sourced unique silhouettes to produce a line of casualwear that is subtle, trendy, and fun. A fun fact about this project: each one of our Design Consultants created design concepts that were used in the launch of our line! Our team has the ability to create custom designs for your projects. Our trained graphic designers can take your ideas and turn them into print-ready designs that are unique to your project.
