EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The case for Northmark.

The retail packaging market splits cleanly into ultra-luxury at the top, sustainability-led DTC at the bottom, and full-service generalists in the middle. No competitor combines designed aesthetics, modern sustainability, and a tech-enabled ordering experience for $5M–$100M lifestyle brands. Centric can fill that gap with Northmark.

Designed by default

Premium-feeling SKUs that look at home in Aesop, Reformation, or Glossier — without the bespoke luxury price tag.

Sustainable on spec

100% recycled fiber, plastic-free, FSC + algae ink — sustainability baked into the catalog, not a separate line.

Easy to buy

Online configurator (Boxitnow), low MOQs (250 units), 10-day lead times. Centric’s partner network and owned tech stack — Boxitnow + Greenlinq.ai — make the economics work.

HOW WE OPERATE

A distributor-led brand. Asset-light by design.

Northmark owns the brand, the design, and the customer relationship. Centric provides the distribution backbone, partner network, and operations. Vetted manufacturing partners produce to Northmark specs on tooling we own. This is how Stephen Gould and Imago built scale — without ever owning a factory.
