Matthew Hirsch — CTO / Co-Founder — Fathom Optics
Our mission at Fathom is to bring next-generation light field technology to the printing and packaging industries. We've been so impressed with the team at Cog, and their ability to dive deep into our tech, understand it, and apply it artistically. They're really the best at combining the artistic side of new tech and the technical side of trend-setting art into an unexpected, delightful, beautiful and realizable package.
Corey Reardon — President & CEO — AWA Alexander watson associates
AWA and Cog have been collaborating since 2018, and their expertise and insights have brought tremendous depth to the work AWA does. Our partnership with Cog has been, and continues to be, an asset for AWA across the packaging, labeling and design supply chain, and their input, knowledge, and access to decision makers and innovators continues to be invaluable and world-class.
Chris Ciulla — Account Director & Brand Strategist — CIULLA ASSOC
Cog is not only comprised of rockstar individuals who go above and beyond to ensure you’re getting the packaging solutions you and your client's desire. They are truly servicing the entire package design-to-print supply chain. Cog has helped us facilitate more precise design exploration early on in a project, while ensuring print feasibility. They are a huge value add to anyone exploring new techniques, testing new ideas, or pushing boundaries.
Tom Scott — President & CEo — Scott Models
We collaborate with Cog on brand packaging initiatives because their capabilities are a strong fit with Scott Models. Besides, Lindsey and her team are stellar at what they do and a real pleasure to work with.
Jennifer Morales & Jason Stitt — Co-Founders — Mixicles
Cog really impressed us with the "out of the box" carton structure concepts they created for us. It was great to find a company willing to embrace a start-up and work as a partner with our designer and collaborate with our printer on our product launch.
Nick Van Alstine — President — Macaran Printed Products
The beauty of working with Cog is the ability to explore new design concepts without the time and expense involved in going to press. They take the time to fully understand your press capabilities, ensuring that whatever prototype they produce, is one you can produce. This unique collaboration makes all the difference in helping to achieve your customers design aspirations sensibly.
Phil Best — COO — LPK Holdings
Cog is one of the more unique companies in our extended design and production community. They are positioned well in the early stages of design thinking and design exploration to develop and validate printing and decoration methods. Investment upfront with Cog will invariably lead to improved design, design feasibility, and design fidelity.
Dan Muenzer — President — Tag & Label Manufacturers Institute
Cog is the perfect partner to help label and packaging printers evaluate new design alternatives with their customers. They are uniquely positioned to combine designer imagination with real world production feasibility which results in breathtaking designs that can actually be manufactured.
Doug Bartlett — Director of Graphics — Constantia Flexibles
Working with Cog has created a valuable resource that filled the gap between innovative ideas and working prototypes. The relationship with Cog has also accomplished this without interrupting our production team or disrupting our press schedules. Cog has the ability to work with us to be innovative not only with new technologies but with new executions of existing technologies. This allows our Sales team to be ahead of our customers’ needs with creative solutions and in some case live mock-ups to demonstrate value to their brands. From concepts to deliverable samples, Cog bridges the gap for us and does so in a way that also keeps in perspective the realities of high-volume production.
Matt Owens — Business Development Manager, National Accounts — Roland DGA Corp
The Cog team has pushed the boundaries, while using the Roland DGA LEC-330 print/cut, LEF-300 flatbed, and the Flex pack VS-300i printers. The package prototypes created at the studio in Cincinnati show off this technology’s capabilities and demonstrate top-shelf quality.
Dean Randazzo, Senior Holographic/R&D Engineer, ITW Foils
We have an ongoing product development relationship with the Cog development team which has provided some great insights into the opportunities and limitations of our more unique packaging materials. Their capabilities and pioneering spirit allow for quick iterations and the ability to test ideas, push the envelope, and improve feasibility.
Trina Olsen — Operations/Project Management — Ruttle Design Group
We need people who believe in the quality of our craft, so when we found COG, it was a perfect fit for us at RDG. The Cogs were always there for our crazy design requests, and they care as much as we do about delivering quality per our clients’ requests. They totally live up to their “faster, smarter” claim, because they always perform within our budgets and timelines. I’m probably gushing a bit here, but hey, they are honest, smart, and professional. Why aren’t you calling them? Best partner ever!!
Alan Lake — Marketing Development Manager — ITW Foils
No surprise CPGs and Design Agencies love working with Cog. Their industry knowledge, materials expertise and responsiveness make them excellent partners. Prepare to be amazed.

There is a contagious enthusiasm in the Cog spirit. Not only are they great company, but you always find yourself rolling up your sleeves with them. They are pragmatic problem solvers fueled by top-shelf creative and production talent.
Gage Burke — Art Director — Brand Society | NEW Orleans
As our newest agency partner, Cog has shown incredible enthusiasm for their craft and how they can add real value to us and our CPG / retail clients.

I have developed a great partnership with the team at COG and their enthusiasm for my projects has been evident across the board. Their creative approach has helped bring some of our concepts to life. I appreciate their passion, their patience and attention to detail.
