The Unveiling: We Do That.

If you’ve been following along with us on social media, you know that we just launched our first YouTube video!

Watch the video below and scroll down to learn more about the making of our new packaging promo video.


This video was created for Pack Expo, a four-day long expo in Chicago, IL. The goal of the video was to showcase a few of our main packaging products: Strapping, Tape and Stretch Film

The video was shot one day in our San Leandro, CA warehouse. The two actors are both CWC employees. One, Damon is our Art Director and the other, Mike, is a skilled warehouse employee.
