Ideal began as a little storefront over 90 years ago on the southwest side of Chicago where wooden boxes for shipping were the company’s bread and butter. Since then, the company has grown, improved and evolved into a creative and technological leader in the retail merchandising industry. Ideal is conveniently headquartered in Chicago but has a strong presence nationwide with sales and design offices in Ohio and Washington. Our entertainment industry experts, Origin, specialize in providing the same Ideal services on the West Coast. Ideal is an independent, financially stable, family owned and operated company. We invested strategically, experiencing consistent growth and profitability during times of cutbacks and layoffs. We’ve also invested in state-of-the-art technology with a steady increase in staff. Ideal is known for recruiting, hiring and retaining the best in the business. Our graphic and structural designers’ experience, innovation and teamwork is unparalleled. The customer service, project management and sales teams are known for their responsiveness, attention to detail and commitment to the high-quality products Ideal consistently provides. Ideal’s focus is our people—we say we care, but most important, we do care. Each person matters to us, as reflected in our work environment, the work we do, and ultimately, the products we provide our customers.
