Packaging design that earns its place on the shelf.
Packaging is often the first and only chance to persuade someone to pick your product up. We design packaging for food, drink and personal care brands: distinct routes tested on shelf, one carried through every size and flavour, and artwork ready for your printer.
What is included
Packaging systems
Several distinct routes mocked up on shelf, one carried through every panel and size, and artwork delivered ready for your printer.
Range extensions
New flavours, formats and seasonal editions that sit comfortably beside what you already sell, so the line still reads as one family.
Gift, mailer and shipper design
Press kits, subscription boxes and shipping cartons designed so opening them feels like part of the product.
Tested in context
Designs judged next to real competitors on a shelf, not on a white page, so decisions are made the way shoppers will see the pack.

Questions
Questions about packaging design.
How long does packaging design take?
Most packaging work takes around two months. It can move faster when content and decisions come back quickly.
Do you prepare the files for printing?
Yes. Artwork is delivered ready for your printer, and you also receive the editable originals.
What kinds of packaging do you design?
Labels, cartons, pouches, cans and jars, and the mailers, gift boxes and shipping cartons around them.
Can you add new flavours to my existing packaging?
Yes. Range extensions are designed to sit beside what you already sell, so the whole line still looks like one family.
How much does it cost?
Every project is scoped to what it needs to do, so there is no fixed price list. After a free, no-obligation first consultation we send a written proposal setting out what we will deliver, the schedule and the cost. Nothing starts until you have agreed it.
