US-based designer and producer of corrugated packaging, Ideal has expanded its client-centric operations with the opening of a new location in Kansas City, Missouri, in an effort to extend its Chicago-based presence.

According to Ideal, the latest expansion will help support the company's existing and future client activities which have been the driving factor surrounding its brand.

Ideal president Scott Eisen said the company has added the Kansas City office location as an additional base hub for the Hallmark account and other key client activity.

"As reflected by Hallmark's Display of the Year at GlobalShop, 2012, clients remain our number one priority and continued office growth is part of our core mission to provide leading design services nationwide," Eisen added.
