The idea of producing gift boxes came about as a way to differentiate itself from the competition at retail. Imboden’s is a meat processor located in DeKalb, Ill., but it also runs a fancy foods retail store, where its meat cuts, hams, sausages and other protein products are sold along with European pastries, beer and wine and a large selection of cheeses.
The company sells its gift boxes to customers at the store, but it also has corporate accounts that order multiple boxes to use as customer gifts, incentives for sales teams and more.
