Packaging Design
Packaging that protects the product and sells it from the shelf.
Every request is reviewed personally.
The problem
The package is the product's first impression, and its shipping crate.
It has to survive a truck, stand out on a shelf or in a listing, carry the right information and still look like your brand.
- Your product is ready and the box is an afterthought.
- You don't know what materials or structure the product needs.
- Your packaging doesn't look like it belongs to the same brand as your website.

FAQ
Questions, answered plainly
Do you design the structure as well as the artwork?
Yes. Packaging Design covers the artwork and the material selection, and we develop prototypes or mock-ups so you can see and handle the result before production.
Will it meet retailer requirements?
We design with retail in mind. Retailer-specific requirements for displays, shippers and compliance are the focus of the Retail Ready Program, which many clients pair with packaging.
What do I need to give you?
Your product, or its design files, and your brand assets if you have them. If you don't have a brand yet, we'd start there.
Can you handle printing?
We design the packaging and prepare the files. Printing and production are arranged through packaging suppliers, which we can manage for you as part of sourcing.
What does it cost?
Every engagement is scoped to what you need, so we price it in a proposal after we have reviewed your request. We'll be candid about budget and fit from the first conversation.
What happens after I submit?
Every request is reviewed personally, and we'll be in touch about next steps.
