Not ideal for start-up companies.

Strengths: Provided thermoformed blister trays for manufacturing. They are good when you get to large volumes.

Needs to improve: Customer Service needs some work, they don't hide the fact that they treat larger customers better than smaller ones. Their prices are more expensive than most of their competitors. Not open to quality suggestions by customers.
