What Arlington businesses need from custom packaging
With 394,266 residents in 2020, Arlington is one of the largest cities in Texas. It hosts the AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Six Flags Over Texas and the University of Texas at Arlington, so visitor traffic alone supports a large merchandise and food-service economy.
Event days are packaging deadlines. A vendor that sells licensed or team-adjacent merchandise needs displays that arrive flat, assemble quickly and look good under stadium lighting. Off-season, those same brands sell online and need protective mailers. We cover both seasons from one supplier.
Packaging that fits Arlington
- Event and concession displays: Countertop and PDQ displays that set up in minutes for tailgates, festivals and game-day stands.
- Merchandise mailer boxes: Printed mailers for apparel and collectibles sold online between events.
- Litho labels for beverage and food: Labels and wraps for local products sold in venues and stores.
- Fulfillment shipping boxes: Printed shippers for e-commerce sellers and university-affiliated shops.
