Packaging Services

    Your packaging has three seconds on the shelf. We make sure they count.

    Packaging is your last moment of marketing before the buy decision. The difference between packaging that earns the second look and packaging that gets bypassed is not the colour — it's the information hierarchy at 30cm, the contrast under supermarket fluorescent light, the way the brand mark reads when the product is stacked three deep. We design packaging on real dielines (not flat mockups) so you can see exactly how the artwork wraps before you send it to print. For brands that need packaging to match across a full product range or retail rollout, see our retail branding service.

    What you get

    What's Included in Packaging

    • Concepts developed on real dielines — not flat Illustrator artwork dropped onto a generic box mockup
    • Print-ready artwork: PDF/X-1a with correct bleed, crop marks, overprint settings and spot colour specs
    • Barcode placement, nutritional panels, ingredient lists and allergen declarations — formatted to FSANZ requirements
    • Photography-ready 3D renders for use in marketing, eCommerce listings and social media
    • Print supplier liaison and press-check sign-off — we attend so you don't have to interpret a colour proof alone
    • Range-aware design system — additional SKUs, flavours or sizes added without the brand fragmenting

    FAQ

    Straight answers, no fluff.

    Still got questions? .

    Do you handle FSANZ labelling compliance? +

    We design within FSANZ labelling requirements — nutritional panels, ingredient lists, allergen declarations, country of origin and mandatory warning statements. For food products making health claims, you'll also need a food technologist to sign off the claims — we'll flag where that's needed.

    Can you design a full product range, not just one SKU? +

    Yes — range-aware design is central to how we approach packaging briefs. Adding a new SKU later is straightforward rather than a fresh design project.

    Can I pair packaging with eCommerce? +

    Yes — the 3D renders we produce work directly as Shopify product imagery. Our eCommerce web design team can build the store that sells the product. Brief us on the product and the store in the same discovery session.
