KINGSPORT — When Lifeforce Glass, a giftware manufacturer in Kingsport, needed packaging for a new product, company officials didn't have to go any farhter than Bristol, Va. Kristina Runciman, president of Lifeforce Glass, did an Internet search for a vendor for a box for their new product, the Dreams Come True Action Kit. Dominion Carton in Bristol was among the first results. "I was amazed to find that the most appropriate vendor for the project was in my own back yard," said Runciman. Dominion Carton creates custom packaging for diverse applications. They manufacture rigid boxes tailored to each customer's needs. Dominion has customers around the country, and in 2007 they produced a chocolate box for the Emmy Awards. "Dominion Carton provided excellent service and support right from the start. Sales Representative Corey Sensabaugh visited us in Kingsport very shortly after I called, and called on us regularly to help us with the project," said Runciman. "Corey actually adapted the size to save Lifeforce some money. The production process was extremely fast, and the quality fantastic. We were able to get the kits to market Lifeforce Glass Inc. right on schedule." Lifeforce Glass wholesales its imprinted gift products to stores in the United States, Canada and Australia. The Dreams Come True Action Kit was inspired by Runciman's experiences creating her perfect life, which according to her includes living in Kingsport. It contains 10 projects for the consumer to identify and execute his or her goals. The Dreams Come True Action Kit is available locally at Hairbenders Salon on Center Street.
