Envision3: Strong Vision for the Future

"This gave us the opportunity to go deeper with the customer," Gary Franz states. "With marketing departments being slashed, these clients needed simplicity and efficiency, as well as guidance in how they get their projects done and accomplish their goals."

Earlier this year, Envision3 acquired the key packaging and finishing assets of Marketing4, providing the company with literally dozens of plug-and-play products ranging from inserts, tabs and expanders, to promotional packaging, pocket folders and audio/video packaging. Kevin Franz points out that the deal brought aboard a full-time engineer to quarterback the CAD (computer-aided design) cutting machine to make actual prototypes and help design boxes for customers. He also held out the possibility of adding a folder/gluer to beef up the packaging side.
