On behalf of the CDC Team, I would like to thank our customers, suppliers, and vendors for your support this year. Creating custom packaging requires serious teamwork and we couldn't have done it without all of you.

Of course, the incredible people who work here in our office, workshop, and warehouse, are a huge part of that success. It's thanks to them and their hardwork and sacrifices during these challenging times that we've been able to accomplish all that we have.

To celebrate the season we will be closing at noon on Thursday, December 24, and re-opening on Monday, December 28. We will also close at noon on Thursday, December 31, and re-open on Monday, January 4.

Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Bob Cook
President, CDC Packaging
