New York has the highest density of brand headquarters and marketing decision-makers in the country, with a manufacturing and contract-filling belt across the river in Northern New Jersey.
Buyers here tend to order small runs of high-finish retail packaging on tight calendars. That is the order profile our low minimums and free 3D mockups were built for.
