David Diaz
Owner/Founder/President

After more than a decade leading high-performing sales teams and driving revenue across diverse industries, David Diaz, founder and Senior Packaging Strategist, reached a point where he wanted more than just professional success—he wanted to build something of his own, rooted in trust, speed, and consistent quality. That vision became a reality in October 2024, when he founded Packaging Friends.

He launched the company with a simple goal: to make packaging solutions easier, faster, and more dependable for businesses across the United States. Having built a reputation over the years for delivering results and fostering strong customer relationships, he knew there was a need for a partner in the packaging space who genuinely puts customers first.

Today, Packaging Friends serves customers nationwide, offering high-quality packaging solutions with the responsiveness and reliability people deserve. We're proudly based in the U.S. and partnered with top manufacturers around the world, allowing us to combine global quality with local service.

David leads the way for all Packaging Friends' sustainable packaging solutions and developments, optimizing operations while promoting best industry practices across multiple markets. He has led several efficiency initiatives that have helped reduce waste and improve product integrity worldwide. His work in both packaging support management and marketing flagship brands (with global packaging launches) has sharpened his art of balancing packaging innovation with compelling consumer narratives and commercial goals, along with building up his knowledge of quality assurance and material procurement.

As an experienced collaborator, David thrives on co-creation with R&D, brand, procurement, and manufacturing teams. He regularly runs workshops, training programs, and supplier development programs. Passionate about sustainability, he has spearheaded projects about using recycled content, designing for circularity optimization, and future-proofing products against regulatory mandates.

David has helped businesses save money by ensuring they invest in the right type of packaging for their needs, avoiding unnecessary costs while maintaining quality and compliance. He has also supported companies in scaling by helping them brand their products effectively, using packaging as a powerful tool to strengthen market presence and customer loyalty..

Whether you're a small business looking to streamline your packaging or a large enterprise in need of scalable solutions, David and his team are here to help, with the same commitment to trust, performance, and customer care that’s driven his career from the start.
