Chances are good you landed on this page because you’re seeking not only solutions, but also more than a ‘meh’ experience from your packaging rep… you want someone who:
- Puts your needs first and wants to help you win,
- Creates fun and meaningful experiences for you and your team, and
- Wears a cape when necessary. (clients vary on the importance of this…)
I may not be able to scale tall buildings with a single bound, or see through walls with x-ray vision, but let’s be honest…those things wouldn’t cure your packaging headaches anyway.
Nevertheless, in spite of my limitations as a mere mortal, I CAN commit to a tireless attitude of service and a desire to build a legacy that extends beyond stretch film, polybags, and bubble wrap.

Why we should chat soon
I spend my days as your friendly neighborhood salesman, fighting packaging villains like:
- The Green Gobblin –Â Rising packaging costs that keep gobblin’ up precious green cash.
- Mysterio –Â Supply chain puzzles that are an enigma wrapped in a conundrum.
- Doctor Shocktopus –Shockingly long wait times for equipment repairs.
I spend my nights (and weekends, and early mornings) braiding hair, watching Disney movies, going to parks…and generally being wrapped around the little fingers of my wife, our 3 young daughters, and the furry paw of a girl frenchie. The estrogen is strong in my house.
My calling in sales is to give enjoyable and transparent experiences…even when things don’t go according to plan, even if you hate salespeople, and even if it turns out that I fit your business like I fit into my jeans from freshman year of high school. (hint: not well) You can use me as a valuable resource whether we partner together or not!
If you are craving tacos/coffee/donuts, laughs and good conversation…or if you have been cornered by the villains mentioned above, call me and I’ll swing by.
Talk soon,
Derrick

What His Customers Say
Vendors play a crucial role in the success of our company, our relationship with Associated Packaging has proven to be a great benefit. Derrick Nave does an outstanding job of managing our account and is always looking for ways we can be more efficient and cost effective. We highly recommend Derrick and Associated Packaging for all your packaging needs.
Derrick is very customer oriented and goes above and beyond as a professional. Over the past several
years, he has taken excellent care of our business needs. He is thorough with inventory reports and has
been very reliable. If a quality issue was present, Derrick does not hesitate to find a resolution. He far
exceeds our expectations with communicating with our suppliers and making change when needed.
We not only have prompt explanations from Derrick should we have issues, we have immediate
resolutions to eliminate repeats. He continually works with his suppliers to get better pricing for our
business needs.
Derrick with Associated Packaging has been one of the best outside sales representatives we have had the pleasure of working with. My company had issues with our existing supplier and we were seeing huge cost increases. Derrick was able to find solutions to both technical and stocking issues at the same time as lowering our overall costs. He made our transition to Associated Packaging easy and hasfollowed up regularly since then. He routinely checks in on the shop floor and sometimes lets me know of a problem and a solution before I’ve even been told. Although Derrick is always available if I have a question, he never comes across as pushy or aggressive as I’ve seen all too often from outside sales representatives. I am very glad we made the decision to work with Derrick and we believe it will be a great relationship for some time.
