Packaging Design

System Status: DEPLOYED // Sector: SHELF IMPACT

Packaging is your silent salesperson. In retail environments, you have seconds to capture attention and communicate value. We engineer packaging that makes products leap off shelves and elevate the unboxing experience.

The Packaging Difference

Great packaging does more than contain a product:

• Attracts: Eye-catching design in competitive retail environments
• Communicates: Clear messaging about what’s inside and why it matters
• Protects: Structural integrity during shipping and handling
• Delights: Creates memorable unboxing moments that drive social sharing
• Reflects: Embodies your brand values and quality standards

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the minimum order for custom packaging?

Minimums vary by packaging type. Folding cartons typically start at 500-1,000 units. Rigid boxes may have higher minimums. Digital printing allows lower runs at slightly higher per-unit cost.

How long does custom packaging take?

From design approval to delivery: 4-6 weeks for standard orders. Rush options available. Prototype development adds 1-2 weeks upfront.

Can you work with my existing brand guidelines?

Absolutely. We’ll apply your brand standards to packaging design. If you need brand development first, we offer that too.

Do you handle regulatory requirements?

Yes. We ensure proper placement of barcodes, ingredient lists, nutritional info, and certifications. Final regulatory approval is your responsibility.
