Quotes:

* "Limited edition packaging is like limited edition food. You can only have it for a short period of time. It's your pumpkin spice latte in September." - Lauren Hodges

* "There's beauty in mistakes, and once you're folding in this four-color work, any registration that's off can actually be kind of impressive." - Lauren Hodges

* "Packaging does a great job of conveying trust. It's that one little label that somebody had removed at some point, and you're like, 'I don't want to open this. I don't know what it is.'" - Adam Peek
