Who is the team behind Prestar Packaging?

What do you know about the people that make your gift card packaging? Probably not a lot. Allow us to introduce ourselves.

Taylor, Melanie, Anne, and Craig Chrisman. This truly is a family business!

We’re the Chrismans!

Prestar Packaging/Creative Carding is a family-owned small business right here in America. Prestar was started by Craig (far right) and his wife, Anne (second from right), 31 years ago. Craig is the genius brain behind our patented pop-up gift card boxes and gift card folders, as well as the Vice President. Anne is the President of the company, as well as our go-to for all things distributor-related, Human Resources, Payroll, and Accounting. She does it all! Their son, Taylor (far left), and his wife, Melanie (second from left), are also part of the Prestar Team. Taylor is our logistics and custom packaging guru. Melanie does a little bit of everything, like this blog, website content and design, social media, and anything Anne Chrisman needs. 99 times out of ten, you’ll get her on the phone when you call.

We love our amazing employees! We’d be lost without them!

This is the Prestar Team!

Every single box that you receive has been made by these guys right here, in Southwest Virginia. Some of them have been with us since Prestar started about 30 years ago! We would be nothing without our employees. Here they are, pictured with an award we won last year.

Here’s Taylor and Mel holding our awesome VMA Coolest Thing in VA Award.

Speaking of Awards…

We won the Virginia Manufactuers Association Manufacturing Cup. Our patented and innovative Pop-up Gift Card Boxes have been crowned the “Coolest Thing Made In Virginia”.

Well would you look at that? Prestar Packaging/Creative Carding is an award winner!
