Packaging your customer wants to photograph before they even touch the product
Packaging Design
The product is good, the product photos look great on the site, and the box that reaches the customer is a generic brown carton with a label stuck on.
There's no "wow" moment on unboxing, so nobody posts about it, and the whole investment in the brand ends at the product-photography stage, before the product even reaches the customer's hands. It's worse if the construction wasn't thought through — the product shifts in transit, the box won't close properly, and the customer's first impression is disappointment before they've even seen what's inside.
We design packaging together — graphics and construction — so it looks good, survives transport, and fits your real production budget. Good graphics on bad construction fall apart in the courier's van, and good construction without considered graphics gets lost on the shelf.
We choose the material for the distribution method: corrugated board for courier shipping, where compression strength matters, solid board for shelf sales, where looks matter most. We build the construction for the specific product, not from a ready-made template, so it sits stably inside. We never send a design to production without a physical mock-up — the decision to run the full print run happens only after you've checked yourself how the box folds together.
What you get
- An unboxing worth showing other peopleA real marketing effect you don't pay extra for out of the advertising budget.
- Packaging fitted to your budgetWe match the material and run size to your sales scale, instead of proposing finishes you don't need.
- Fewer complaints about transport damageThe construction gets tested on a physical mock-up before it goes into production.
We don't publish numbered case studies at this stage — at the meeting we show mock-ups and packaging samples you can see and touch before deciding on the construction for yours.
Scope and pricing
The package covers a construction fitted to the product's dimensions and weight, the graphic design, a recommendation on material and print technology, a physical mock-up for approval before production starts, and the final production file for the packaging manufacturer of your choice.
- You send us the product's dimensions and weight and the distribution method.
- We choose the construction and material for those conditions.
- We design the graphics and apply revisions, in the number of rounds agreed in the contract.
- We prepare a physical mock-up to check how the product fits inside.
- Once the mock-up is approved, we deliver the final production file.
You learn the package price after sending dimensions and your planned sales scale, and it stays fixed for the rest of the project. Packaging designed without a physical mock-up only reveals its flaws at the first large print run, when you have to rework or scrap production you've already paid for — a mock-up at the start removes that risk.
Our guarantees
Production-file accuracy guarantee. Before full production starts, we always go through a physical mock-up made from the target material.
Source files and full rights are yours. The construction and graphic design are your property from the moment of handover.
The package price is fixed. The amount agreed after you send dimensions doesn't change while the agreed scope is delivered.
Availability
We deliver packaging projects on an agreed timeline — if you're planning a launch ahead of the holiday season, get in touch early, because packaging manufacturers have limited capacity for every client at once at that time.
Order your packaging design
Send us the product's dimensions and weight and how it will be distributed. We'll come back with a construction and material recommendation and a firm quote.
What waiting costs you
The closer to peak season you start a packaging project, the less chance you have for calm mock-up testing before full production runs — and a mistake caught only in the print run costs more than a correction at the prototype stage.
In short
Construction and graphics designed together around the product and its distribution · a physical mock-up before production starts · a five-step process from dimensions to production file · material and run size matched to budget · a fixed package price sized to the construction's complexity.
Frequently asked questions
Will I see a physical mock-up before ordering the full production run?
Yes, a mock-up made from the target material is a standard part of the process — you approve it before we start production.
How do I choose packaging material for courier shipping so the product arrives undamaged?
We recommend corrugated board with the right compression strength, chosen based on the product's weight and shipping method.
Do you also design the die-cut for a non-standard box shape?
Yes, we build the construction for the specific product rather than from a ready-made template.
From what print run does offset become cheaper than digital printing?
That depends on the number of colours and order size — at the quoting stage we point out which option is cheaper at your planned run size.
Can the packaging include extra elements, such as a thank-you insert?
Yes, we account for extra elements already at the construction design stage, so they fit the whole.
What if the product comes in several size variants?
We design a base construction that we then adapt to each size, instead of building every variant from scratch.
