Branding — fixed-scope project
Packaging design
One SKU or a whole product line — dieline-ready, print-perfect, on-shelf tested.
Fixed-scope quote · Source files + guidelines · specialist-led
Packaging is the only design discipline where the deliverable has to survive a printer, a warehouse, a shelf, and a customer's kitchen counter — all while making the right first impression at arm's length.
We design for that whole chain: concept directions rooted in your category, dielines your printer can drop into their queue, and mockups you can use in a pitch deck or a crowdfunding page before the first unit is manufactured.
Start with a single label or scope a whole product line — we quote both the same way: fixed price, one scope, no surprise print-check charges.
How we've run this before
Challenge · Approach · Outcome.
01 · challenge
Packaging fails in three places: the printer's prepress queue, the shelf at arm's length, and the customer's kitchen counter. Most designers only design for the second one.
02 · approach
Two or three concept directions grounded in the category, then dielines that match the printer's spec sheet exactly, plus rendered on-shelf mockups you can use in decks before a single unit is manufactured.
03 · outcome
PDF/X-1a files that pass prepress on the first check, a mockup you can send to retailers, and one round of print-check corrections baked into the price.
