"Hi stephen
I read your book from kitchen to market and I found it very helpful. I am in the process of starting my own baked good company. While I have my logo and my web designers are building my site I am having trouble locating high end packaging suppliers. I unfortunately was not able to attend the fancy food show in california (i will attend the one in nyc) but I need to start sourcing now. Any suggestions for where I can look for unique high end packaging for my gourmet cookies and other baked goods?
thank you so much."

I totally agree with you Mike, Abc-Packaging is an excellent packaging company with a very fast service. I would like to explain that the proto-type of my packaging was ready for me to view while other packaging companies still try to start up contacting me.
If you don't want to invest alot of capital up-front for custom dies and packaging, I would recommend 1800giftbox.com or presentation packaging.
During my own search it always came down to quantity. Am I willing to invest $2k-$3k or more for dies and my own packaging right out of the gate? - No. For a start-up, "stock" packaging is the way to go.
