The Maker’s Row Team started the month with a visit to Cross Country Box, a packaging factory in New Jersey. The owners, Irene and Dan Goldman, have decades of experience in the industry. Although they work with many large brands, they are also open to working with new brands.
Irene, owner and designer of Cross Country Box, is a proud native to New Jersey who is passionate about bringing manufacturing back to her home state. She explains why bringing jobs and making manufacturing accessible is important in strengthening the middle class.
