“Being new to the spirit world I was unsure of who to turn to when designing my custom bottle and new brand launch. CF Napa Brand Design came as a reference from a friend of mine who has been in the wine packaging business for 20 plus years. From start to finish David Schuemann and his team were a pleasure to deal with, and went above and beyond overseeing production challenges to see that my package was worthy of a top shelf product as requested. They now have earned a life long client.”

“Coming into a crowded category, we needed to make
a strong statement quickly. That’s why we chose CF Napa.
We’ve worked with them in the past and found their designs
to be contemporary and fresh without sacrificing a quality
impression. Their work on Tapeña was especially impressive.
The packaging has layers of complexity and the core quality
cues that resonate with our target consumers. They also
created POS, advertising and website materials that were
strategic, consistent, realistic and within budget. We’re so
pleased with CF Napa’s performance on Tapeña that we’ve
hired them for more of our brands.”

“The thought of being able to create a label that would be both unique and true to our vision was not only a daunting task, it seemed impossible. From the first meeting with David Schuemann and the creative staff at CFNAPA, we had no doubt that they were the best ones for the job. They listened to our story, sifted through our magazine clippings and photographs, and really worked to get a sense of what we wanted our label to feel like. The staff was always available and willing to work with us on any necessary files, and always returned emails and phone calls in a timely manner. Because we are such a small producer, the initial investment of label design was incredibly difficult to budget for. It has been by far the greatest investment we have ever made and our gorgeous label continues to make us smile when it turns heads and sparks conversation. ”

“Beyond their creativity, what sets the design team of
CF Napa apart are their responsiveness, practical, cost-
effective approach, and flexibility in meeting the client’s
needs. They work within budgets, respond quickly to
electronic mail and telephone calls, and meet deadlines.”

“Effective marketing and brand image are paramount to a winery’s success. And a key component in establishing a brand and image is packaging. Beyond the excellent reviews we’ve had over the years for our wines, we’ve had as much positive feedback on our packaging. There is a distinct art to creating something esoteric and unique, yet appealing and elegant. I have worked with CF Napa through the years to produce fine art for our wines. I am a perfectionist by nature and CF Napa has worked patiently with me, showing tenacity when I declined proposals, exhibited flair when I called for it, and exercised creativity in spades. I wouldn’t consider going elsewhere!”
