Design Consultancy
Product packaging design is all about making informed decisions - based on user requirements - to effectively and efficiently design new products. We engage with each client to fully understand the brief and how it aligns with the company and their overall brand objectives. We’ll work with you to be sure that the timescale, quantities, budget and specific requirements all fit with your business needs.
Research and Evaluation
We research existing designs, new materials and the latest trends defining a market to develop packaging that matches products with their potential users. Out commitment to sustainability ensures that we will always explore ways in which we can reduce the environmental impact of a product's manufacture, packaaging and distribution.
Ideation
Our in-house team of product designers use a range of creative techniques and technologies to generate new and exciting ideas to satisfy the brief. A selection of the best ideas is presented to each client in a variety of medis to best convey the concepts including mood boards, sketches, 3D renders and video.
Prototyping
We use technical drawings, computer aided design tools and white samples to test and demonstrate the viability of a concept so we can plan your product with complete clarity in advance of manufacture.We use technical drawings, computer aided design tools and white samples to test and demonstrate the viability of a concept so we can plan your product with complete clarity in advance of manufacture.
