Product Packaging

Product packaging is everything that covers, protects, and organises a product. It comprises instructions and other printed materials as well as the tissue wrapping, holders, and boxes.

When we talk about designing your packaging, we’re focusing on printed elements rather than plastic wrap and similar elements that are often purely protective.

That depends on your product: what it is, how many accessories it comes with, and whether it’s part of a luxury brand.

Retail luxury products will often have packaging that is unusual or tactile in nature, like branded tissue paper, boxes with a matte finish, or drawstring bags.

The best packaging needs to properly contain and protect your product while making a lasting impression.

All kinds. We’ve created a wide range of packaging types for customers, including boxes, clothing tags, stickers, in-store point of sale (POS) materials, and much more.

Whatever your product, there’s a range of options to consider for your packaging. If you’re unsure what your product might need and what can take your customers’ unboxing experience further, contact us and let us help you out.

We’ve created a range of custom packaging for UK brands and we’re happy to discuss any ideas you might have. Branded packaging from boxes to bottles is possible and we can accommodate many different types of product packaging.

• If your packaging is a new size or bespoke, you may require additional tooling such as a cutting forme and/or a print Stereo. Alternative production methods are available which do not require tooling but tend to be suited to low-volume runs.

This is essentially the printing plate required for the print process. Dependent on the artwork, no print can be made without it, and it is specific to each job. Although there is the initial outlay, they can however be used multiple times until the artwork requires changing. Alternative production methods are available which do not require tooling but tend to be suited to low-volume runs. 

A die-cutting forme is essentially a template that stamps out the shape of your cardboard packaging. Although there is an initial outlay, they can be used multiple times thereafter. 

Yes, we have various standard formes that you can utilise should they suit your requirements, however, it is common in most cases that a new cutting forme is required dependent on your requirements.  

On bespoke boxes, a template would be provided for you to place your artwork. Alternatively, we can do this for you.  

We offer plain CAD pre-production samples for fit and then 3D visuals in order for you to see the artwork in situ. Digitally printed samples are available but would be an additional cost.  

Usually about 2 weeks for an existing job, however, if starting from the outset allow an extra week for proofing.
