Packaging is the one piece of design a customer holds before they buy. It has to work as a flat printed sheet, as a folded three-dimensional object, and as one item among dozens on a shelf — and it has to carry the information the law requires without that information taking over. We design to the actual dieline for the pack, check legibility at the distance a shopper really stands, and supply artwork set up for the printing and finishing process being used.
Showcase
Packaging design is the design of the physical container a product is sold in — the structure it folds into, the artwork printed on it, and the information it is required to carry.
Packaging does more jobs at once than almost any other design work. It has to protect the product, identify the brand, persuade someone standing in an aisle, carry legally required information, and still be manufacturable at a sensible cost. It is also the only brand touchpoint most customers physically handle, which is why a pack that feels cheap undermines a product that is not.
A dieline is the flat template showing where the pack is cut, folded and glued. Designing without one — laying artwork out on a rectangle and hoping — is how logos end up on a fold and text ends up inside a glue flap. We work on the real dieline for the pack being produced, so what looks right flat is still right once it is folded and filled. Where no dieline exists yet, that is the first thing to settle with the packaging supplier.
Packaging is designed on a screen at arm's length and judged on a shelf from two metres away, under lighting nobody chose, next to competitors. A type size that reads comfortably in the studio can vanish in that setting. Testing the design at actual size and real viewing distance — and checking it against the packs it will sit beside — catches problems that no amount of on-screen refinement will.
Many product categories must carry specific information: ingredients, allergens, weight or volume, country of origin, barcodes, recycling marks, batch and date coding, and warnings. The rules differ by product type and by market, and they change. The design has to accommodate all of it legibly and in the right relationships without the pack becoming a wall of small print. We lay this out clearly and leave the correct space for it — but the content itself, and confirmation that it meets the regulations for your product and market, needs to come from you or your compliance adviser.
Few products ship alone. A range needs each variant to be instantly distinguishable while the family stays obviously related — usually through a consistent structure with one controlled variable such as colour or a flavour image. Designing the system rather than one pack at a time means a new variant later slots in instead of forcing a redesign.
Artwork is prepared for the process that will print it. Flexographic printing on board behaves differently from digital printing on a label stock or litho on a folding carton. Material affects colour: the same ink looks different on uncoated board, on a gloss laminate, and on a clear film. Special finishes — foil, spot varnish, emboss — need their own layers in the artwork. Settling these with the printer before artwork is finished avoids a late and expensive rebuild.
FAQ's
Dielines, print setup, labelling information and ranges — start with the questions below.
A dieline is the flat template showing where the pack is cut, folded and glued. It should come from the packaging supplier who will manufacture it. Designing without one risks artwork landing on a fold or inside a glue flap, so getting the dieline first is normally the opening step.
By checking it the way a shopper will see it: printed at actual size, viewed from about two metres, next to the products it will sit beside. Type sizes that feel generous on a monitor regularly disappear in that setting, and it is far cheaper to find out before the print run.
The design lays it out legibly and in the correct relationships, but the content itself — ingredients, allergens, weight or volume, origin, warnings, recycling marks — and the confirmation that it meets the rules for your product and market must come from you or your compliance adviser. The requirements vary by category and country and they change.
Design the system, not each pack in isolation. Keep the structure identical across the range and let one controlled element vary — usually a colour or a product image. Done that way, a new variant later slots into the system instead of forcing a redesign of everything.
Yes. Flexographic printing on board, digital printing on label stock and litho on a folding carton all behave differently, and material changes colour — the same ink looks different on uncoated board, gloss laminate and clear film. Special finishes such as foil or spot varnish also need their own layers. Confirm the process with the printer before artwork is finished.
