Designer Showcase: Bo Anshutz, Anshutz Design’s Front Man

We’ve known Bo Anshutz of Anshutz Design for a long time, but we didn’t realize we’d known Bo for such a long time until we did this interview. When we talked to Bo, we asked how long he’d been working with Roastar, his response, “Since Will answered the phones”.

Well then, I guess you could say we’ve grown up together, considering Bo’s been around since the early years when our founder, Will Reif, was taking orders. And because he’s worked with the Roastar team for decades, Bo knows the ins and outs of the bag business and works hard to get you the design of your dreams. His motto, we’re not finished until you’re happy, is the backdrop for his long-standing success, and has thrust Anshutz Design into the spotlight as one of our customers’ favorite partners to work with. Let’s dive in and learn more about Bo, his business, his passion for sharing packaging design with his customers, and how you can connect with him on future projects.
