Amber Boston: Container & Packaging Spy, Part 3

amber-boston-part-3-services<p>Part 3: The Secret Services?</p> <p>After being thwarted by Chloe and her knowledge of neck-finishes, I decided I'd better look harder for a secret code hidden in the Container &amp; Packaging Supply website. I soon discovered a suspicious section of the site: <a title=Services href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/services/>Services</a>. What kind of container company has services? Could this be a cover for some illegal operations? Maybe this company was clandestinely smuggling baby raccoons to Australia. It was time to find the dirty secrets of Container &amp; Packaging Supply.</p> <p>I held my breath and clicked the link for Services, certain that I would discover a portal to the underground world of raccoon smuggling. But instead, I found a lovely page complete with videos and cute pictures. <em>This is how they draw you into the raccoon trade</em>. It was a grim business, but someone had to do it, and that someone was me, Amber Boston, Container and Packaging Spy supreme. But the more I looked, the more I found just really cool options for making containers and packages look awesome. I even caught myself daydreaming about creating a label for my own line of moisturizer, maybe with raccoons frolicking on a grassy field¦</p> <p>And then I saw it: tucked in the various services offered by Container &amp; Packaging Supply was a link for <a title=custom projects href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/services/customprojects.asp>Custom Projects</a>. This had to be where all of the back-alley deals went down. Not only does Container &amp; Packaging Supply participate in these so-called custom projects, but they have the audacity to encourage customers to participate! I had surely uncovered the recruiting ground for those raccoon smugglers (or whatever it is that they are really doing). It was time to report to my superiors.</p> <div style=font-family: Courier;>April 15, 2014<br /> Agent: Amber Boston<br /> Mission: Closure<br /> Report: Container &amp; Packaging Supply uses &#8220;services&#8221; and encourages customers to help create custom molds, labels, printing, and more. This must be how they recruit new members to join their ranks of container minions. Will investigate in person and report after successful infiltration of the CPS ranks.</div> <p>I clicked on the <a title=contact href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/info/contact.asp>Contact Us</a> link. Heart pounding through my chest, I called the number and asked if I could meet with somebody about a custom project. To my surprise, they gave me an appointment for the next morning. I didn't expect it to be so easy to sneak in to Container &amp; Packaging Supply. Sure, I'm their blogger, but I really don't ever go IN to the office (at least not beyond the front desk), so this would give me a chance to do some reconnaissance.</p>
