Packaging
For the graphic designer who wants to create their own products
Let's make stuff! Take, for example, something as simple as this one gallon can of "Immortality" from Brooklyn Superhero Supply Company — if you wanted to make a similar product, where would you get the can to apply the label to? Easy: from a place like The Cary Company.

Below, just to get you thinking, is a list of companies/websites that provide supplies for making things — packaging, raw materials, fasteners, and so on. I can't vouch for these specific companies but the list will give you an inkling of the possibilities.
Inventables.com for raw materials, tools, fasteners, and electrical components...
TheCaryCompany.com for containers...
DiskMakers.com for CD and DVD duplication and packaging...
Gaylord.com for library and archival supplies...
Sciplus.com for products with a science or educational tilt...
SpecialtyBottle.com for bottles, jars and tin containers....
WorldClassMedals.com for high-quality medals...
