Allison GaetanoThe boxes we ordered were of the highest quality. I was worried about ordering from a new vendor without simples. Everything was beyond perfect.
Tanya BourqueA dream experience from start to end. I needed a fanciful story-telling custom box for our art-jewelry watch experience. It's the Cheshire cat on the watch face and he interacts with you when you look at him. Designed by Disney Legendary Imagineer Terri Hardin. We designed a pull-out, matchbox style box. As you pull the box open an illustration introduces you to your next best friend, the cat. Dream Custom Boxes took our design, delivered a prototype, gave us an inexpensive quote to match our budget, gave frequent updates during manufacturing, answered our questions about import tariffs/taxes, and delivered on-time. Our customers are delighted. -Frank Cohen, Founder, Starling Watch Company
