Print & Packaging

Product Package Design Picked up, not passed over.

Your package gets about as long as it takes someone to push a cart past it. We design boxes, blister cards, pouches and hang tags that grab attention on a crowded shelf, explain the product fast and look great in your online listing.

What’s included

Everything on the shelf. Nothing left to chance.

From licensed toys to the tool aisle, packaging that sells in the store and online.

A shopper decides whether to pick up your product in about the time it takes to read this sentence. Possibly less.

Win the three-second shelf test

Packaging has a short to-do list: get noticed, say what it is and make someone reach for it. We design packaging that reads from the end of the aisle, with a clear order (brand, product, key benefit) and the details shoppers check when they flip it over.

Designed for the real world

We’ve designed packaging for licensed plush toys sold at Costco and Walmart and for tool lines on the peg walls at Lowe’s. We know dielines, bleed, windows, UPC placement and why the hang hole goes exactly there. Your printer will notice.

Licensed? We speak licensor

Working with licensed characters means style guides, approval rounds and very strong opinions about ear shapes. We prepare approval packages that keep licensors happy and your timeline moving.

See it before you print ten thousand

We render your packaging in 3D, on shelves and in displays, so buyers can approve it, your sales team can sell it and your online listing has great images before the first case ships.

Let’s get your product picked up.

Launching a product?

Send the product, the retailer and the deadline. We’ll help it stand out on the shelf.

Questions

Asked at nearly every kickoff.

Do you create the dieline?

Usually your manufacturer provides it and we design on it. If you’re starting from scratch, we can recommend structures and coordinate with the manufacturer.

Yes. We’ve designed licensed packaging and handle the approval packages and revisions licensors require.

Absolutely. We render packaging in 3D so you can approve it, pitch it to buyers and use the images online.

A single package often takes two to four weeks. Licensed products also depend on approval timelines.

Let’s talk

Every great project starts with a little contact.

Book a free consultation. Bring the big idea, the messy brief or the “would it be crazy if…”. We’ll bring the questions, and probably a few good answers.
