Grab your favorite drink, put on your cozy slippers and join me as I tell you the feel-good story of a company that is like a friendly and popular neighbor with a big heart – the one who knows his neighbors by name and owns all the right tools that everyone wants to borrow! think4D is not your average packaging company, but it’s a close-knit group of expert salespeople, designers, and project specialists that you’d want your parents/family to meet. They are the company that you want to be friends with because they like to have fun while creating a lot of noise – albeit politely – and making a difference in people’s lives. They want you to read their story and find out more about them on a personal level. How is this possible with a company?
Since the beginning, the think4D family is well-known for being at the forefront of cutting-edge technology, but in today’s world of webcams and virtual interactions, customers crave real communication and connections to a living, breathing, caring individual who is available to answer every question, protect their interests and be flexible with time, design and production issues.
Let’s take a quick peek at one of our customers, a grassroots company who discovered think4D when they needed us the most…. and it was all about timing. Patrick Steptoe, of the Luther Dryers company recognized a kindred spirit in think4D as he met with the team, talked and formed a close partnership in the beverage packaging industry. Luther Dryers Lemonade had a legacy born from the idea and resourcefulness of one man, a centuries-old family recipe, and a product waiting to be dressed up in just the right package. This is where the ingenuity and packaging expertise of think4D came in, because a fantastic product called Luther Dryers Lemonade, became a great product, that literally jumped off the shelves simply through the magic of packaging. But it’s more than just getting the job done in a timely manner.
In Patrick’s own words, he explained, “….it’s all about building relationships, as you deal with projects; ………and I think it’s important when a company can really get the vision that you’re trying to convey, as far as your packaging and a company that’s willing to listen, and at least have an interest, and not just be so tied up with what their perception of what your vision is. Those are some of the things that really swayed me. And I’m glad I have because the relationship is great, and we’re ongoing as we keep working on additional projects.”
As if this story isn’t compelling enough, there’s more to tell. think4D has always had a secret weapon at their disposal: employee-ownership. This is a unique business model because when an employee is an owner, they look at every aspect of the business in a different light. The salespeople, designers, and production staff are more likely to ensure that the words they speak and the products that pass through their hands are crafted to the best of their ability. There’s a certain unspoken guarantee that all employee-owners will deliver a quality product, every single time. Why? Because, their reputation is on the line, not to mention the reputations of their fellow employee-owners and think4D, the company that has provided the umbrella under which they work.
After all is said and done, the conclusion of this story is actually just the beginning, for our customers and our employee-owners. We would like nothing better than to create a lasting partnership with you and write each packaging story based on your individuality and our expertise. We care about every person and every project that we engage with because think4D is a packaging company with a heart.
Welcome to think4D – come in, take off your coat and have a seat. We’ll help you tell your story to the world.
