The package is the only physical brand surface most customers ever touch — and the moment of unboxing is where the brand is either reinforced or revealed as commodity.

Process

Why our packaging prints clean

Designed for the converter, not the screen.

The decisions that distinguish press-ready packaging.

Designed on the dieline from concept one

Not 'design the panel then squeeze it onto the dieline'. The structural reality drives the design from the first sketch.

Pantone & specialty finish callouts

Every brand colour gets a Pantone reference. Every specialty pass (foil, emboss, spot UV, white ink) sits on its own named layer.

Product-line systems, not one-off SKUs

Master template + templated SKU variants. New flavours, sizes and regional variants ship in days, not weeks.

Concept through print-ready artwork: structural understanding of the dieline, primary-panel hierarchy, back-panel content (ingredients, nutrition facts, regulatory copy), specialty finish layers (spot foil, embossing, white ink for clear substrate), bleed values, CMYK colour mode with Pantone callouts for brand-critical hues, and the print-ready PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4 file your converter accepts. Plus secondary packaging if you ship in cases or display boxes.

Yes — and we prefer it. Send your converter's dieline template on onboarding and we lay artwork on top of it from the first concept. The result: a packaging file that prints clean the first time, no late-stage rework against panel folds or score lines.

Yes. Wine and spirits labels, beauty product labels, supplement bottles, food jars, sauce bottles, beverage cans, soft-pouch food packaging, tin and metal can wraps. Each ships with substrate-appropriate file specs (e.g., metallic ink callouts for cans, white-ink underbase for clear PET bottles).

All supported with separate named layers in the artwork: spot foil mask, emboss/deboss map, spot UV varnish, soft-touch coating. Each finish is called out on its own layer so your converter's prepress team can isolate the special pass cleanly.

First concepts within 48 hours. Refinement rounds 24–48 hours each. Most packaging projects finalize inside 2–3 weeks from brief to print-ready. Complex projects with multiple SKUs in a single brand family take longer because the system design needs to hold across all SKUs.

Yes. Product-line systems are one of our most common packaging engagements. We design the master template — primary-panel typography, colour-strategy, layout grid, photography slot — then template variants for each SKU. Soulmate plan ($899/month) is the right fit for product lines with more than 8 SKUs because parallel execution is significantly faster.

Packaging that earns the shelf. $399/month.

Dieline-aware. Print-ready. Press-confident on first proof. Pause anytime.
