Testimonials
“I cannot express in words how much I personally and we as a company appreciate how you always go the extra mile for us and every time you come through in a pinch. You are consistently the most accommodating, understanding, and pleasant individuals I currently or have ever worked with. Your actions and kindness have thoroughly cemented your company's relationship with the KettleHouse. As long as I have any say in the matter we will never look at going to another company and I am not exaggerating when I say that I don’t even look at proposals from other packaging companies. They get immediately recycled! I can’t thank you enough and even this seems totally inadequate.”
Packaging Manager for Kettlehouse Brewing Co.
“Sonderen Packaging exceeded all of our expectations. They did a great job aligning their support to meet our company’s needs. We came to them only a month before Valentine’s Day and expressed how important it was to have our macaron boxes ready for Valentine’s Day launch. They got their engineers and customer service staff involved to engineer a structurally-sound box that perfectly aligns with our brand. The design hit the press only a week before the deadline, and the boxes were completed and delivered just in time for our Valentine’s Day sale. The owner, Keva Sonderen, was there to ensure we were satisfied with our products and even delivered a few cases earlier than the deadline to give us a head start on the packaging. It was refreshing to work with a company that made us feel like we were a priority.”
Co-Founder & Managing Director for miFLAVOUR
“We gathered all of our senior management in a room and asked the question – what are the key characteristics of an ‘A+’ supplier? And the first name out of everyone’s mouth was – Sonderen. You were (and are) the ‘benchmark’. Then people started to say key themes like; continuous improvement, proactive communication, engaged ownership, customer service, quality, etc. But the resounding theme was – trust, trust, trust. That’s the bottom line in any relationship, isn’t it? We appreciate everything you have done for us, truly, and you have made us a better company as a result.”
Vice President, Global Purchasing for Yogi Tea
“When it comes to the customer experience, the structural design of the packaging is more important than the graphics and text you apply. The structural design dictates the first impression a customer will have with the product and we are very grateful to have partnered with Sonderen Packaging when we chose to upgrade our packaging. Sonderen is innovative, forward-thinking, and very collaborative. We are fortunate to have them as a partner and look forward to launching many more products with Sonderen’s support.”
