Customer Success Stories: T-Mobile

Unboxing experiences that unlock customer’s hearts

T-Mobile is on a mission to empower people worldwide with the power of lightning-fast connectivity. It is redefining the way consumers and businesses purchase wireless services through leading product and service innovation.

With a customer-crazed culture, the company passionately believes that people come first. It is deeply committed to delivering exceptional customer service every time, whether in-store or online.

The Challenge

When T-Mobile opened its flagship store in New York’s wondrous Times Square, it saw an amazing opportunity to reimagine the in-store experience for the better. The new retail space was the perfect platform to tell the brand story to the masses and capture the hearts and minds of customers.

Far beyond showcasing its solutions and attaining sales, the company wanted to use the iconic location to create memorable, sensory experiences that delighted visitors and showcased the brand’s customer-centric values.

What makes T-Mobile special is our personal connection to our customers. We think a lot about how to get closer to customers, and we rely on our teams, stores, call centers, and culture to help foster that relationship.

The Solution

With the customer front of mind, T-mobile made a plan: go above and beyond to create fantastic, memorable store visits that awakened customer senses: taste, smell, touch, vision and sound.

Catchy music already blaring out the store, the T-Mobile team contacted Refine Packaging with a vision. They wanted to create eye-catching, customized gift boxes for in-store customers to show their appreciation and inject fun into the purchasing experience.

Excited to help T-Mobile elevate the in-store experience, our team jumped in, providing free, expert advice on materials, dimensions, styles and design.

The T-Mobile team had one catch. They wanted their boxes as quickly as possible. Luckily, we were primed to deliver.

True to our commitment of delivering quality packaging at speed, we rapidly designed, manufactured and shipped T-Mobile’s customized packaging boxes.

In just one week, the boxes were delivered to the lights, glitz and glamor that is Times Square.

The Results

T-Mobile’s colorful box initiative was a roaring success and a cornerstone of the company’s flagship store experience.

Most importantly to us, T-Mobile was happy. As their Operations Specialist succinctly put it: “The boxes are amazing and very nicely made.” (Thanks Eric!)

Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue expanding our collaboration with T-Mobile to bring the value of unique unboxing experiences to stores nationwide.

So, if you’re a fan of America’s favorite un-carrier, keep an eye out in your local store. Some free goodies - in boxes designed by Refine Packaging - will be available to you very soon.

Our vision as a company is to be the number one in customer choice, but it’s also to be number one in customers’ hearts. We think that’s ultimately what makes us different. It’s the secret sauce of this business.

What truly separates Refine Packaging from other box companies I’ve used before isn’t just their turnaround time, low quantities or free shipping…It’s their 2D and 3D mockups…they were INCREDIBLE. The other companies never showed me a mockup, so I just had to hope the boxes would look good. Seeing mockups of your design ahead of production let’s you know precisely what you’ll be getting. Truly exceptional work!

The turnaround times are fantastic. I tried speaking with Packlane and TheCustomBoxes, but Refine Packaging was head and shoulders better when it came to turnaround time and quality. Their pricing quote wasn't the best at first, but when I showed them my other price quotes they not only matched the pricing I was offered elsewhere, but beat it.

Highly recommended.

We had a great experience with Refine Packaging. The process for getting our artwork done was seamless. Also, you cannot argue with their pricing, a phenomenal value. I am very impressed with the final product as well, quality materials and a great looking finish.

I highly recommend Refine Packaging for any of your custom packaging needs.

Truly, this has been the most painless experience I've had ordering a product with my artwork on it! The mockups were done in under a few hours and they were extremely detailed oriented. I would recommend this service to anyone looking for high quality work at a reasonable price delivered fast.

Steven was a pleasure to work with. And the end result of the packaging I ordered is amazing! He was very good at returning e-mails quickly, and asking all of the right questions to get the product just right! I highly recommend Refine Packaging, and I will absolutely be working with them in the future!

The company has amazing prices for their products, and can do just about any customization you would want. The rep we worked with, Brian Moore, is excellent at what he does. The customer service and communication is stellar, and he made sure through the whole ordering and design process that we got what we wanted for our products. The finished box is beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned.

Steven Ignacio made my box production process speedy and easy. I’m very particular with design and multiple revisions were addressed efficiently with great communication. I’ve worked with other companies were this process has literally taken months, but thanks to Steven, my boxes were completed and in my hands in 2 weeks, which probably could have been faster if I was less busy. Will certainly do business again.

These guys are the best. They work with you every step of the way. They are not happy until you are happy. Quick updates on your project. Once you approve your design, they are manufactured and on your door step within 10 days. I had them make boxes for my product which are in bottles. The bottles fit perfectly in the box. The boxes are beautiful, EXACTLY what I wanted and professionally done. Thanks guys, you are the best!

Starting a new business project I was in the market for packing. I contacted well over 2 dozen printers. IF they even got back to me, they were less than helpful. I felt their prices were extremely high, with no support. Brian at Refine Packaging got back to me immediately. Helped me design my package. And their pricing was 1/3 the cost of the competitors. He followed the order thru the mail, to make sure I received it on time. Once it was delivered he reached out to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it. I cannot speak highly enough of the helpful support I received. I will continue to order from Brian!!

Refine packaging did an excellent job walking me through the design process. They were highly responsive to my questions as a first time customer and helped me achieve the product I was aiming for. Customer service was excellent and responsive and the final product came out great.

I had a very good experience working with Steven at Refine Packaging. They have very good products and good pricing with excellent quality. We will definitely be using them again for future packaging and other products.
