American Package Design Awards 2026
Building on the rich heritage and Texas vibe of the core line (GDUSA winner 2025), we created a line extension for Holmes Smokehouse's Sliced & Ready line which garnered retail presences across national channels. Within two years Holmes Smokehouse has gone from a beloved regional brand known mostly in Texas to a brand with National distribution across several product lines.
