We have revolutionized the packaging industry and coined our proprietary process which we call Physical Brand Enhancements™ (PBE™). PBE™ is exactly what the name implies–we embrace a brand’s image and boost it to the highest potential through customized packaging. PBE™ encompasses an array of brand needs such as custom glass and ceramic bottles, closures, medallions, labels, cartons, wood boxes, rigid boxes, shippers, end-to-end VAPs (including automated carton assembly), influencer kits, and more.

With our proven success and global team, Spearhead is committed to supporting other women-owned businesses and offering sustainable Physical Brand Enhancements™ to our clients while creating a better brand experience for consumers.

We’re different because we start with the end in mind – we focus on quality, machinability when necessary, and making sure that our Physical Brand Enhancement™ will work with our client's product. I love spending time on manufacturing lines and making everything work as efficiently as possible.
