Food packaging

Food packaging design

Food packaging with flavour appeal

Launch a new product or flavour with confidence. Food packaging can come in all sorts of types, from pouches to card drums, biscuit tins, paper bags and moulded tubs. Let us help you decide what will work best for your brand, and then make it a reality.

Our design process

Whether you have a luxury or a mid-range product, we design high-quality bespoke packaging, designed to complement your brand, connect with your customer and protect your product.

At the first stage of every project, we take the time to get to know you and your brand. Once we get a good understanding of what you’re looking for, along with any technical features you might want, we’ll have a team brainstorming session to come up with achievable and producible solutions, not just concepts. When we move to the design phase, we’ll need you to send us your product so we can design around it and offer a complete solution.

One stop shop

Our design team is built from a rare combination of graphic designers and brand experts, with structural engineers, and production technicians. When we work together, we have complete specialist knowledge of the entire packaging process. We can offer more realistic ideas than a branding agency, and more innovative ideas than a packaging manufacturer.

Benefit from an independent studio

We’re an independent design studio, which means we aren’t linked to any particular packaging manufacturer, giving us the freedom to suggest the best possible solution and production methods for you. If you ask a tube manufacturer to design some packaging – you’re going to get a tube. You could miss out on the big idea that could really sell your product.

Short run food packaging

Professional production quality packaging prototypes

We can produce high quality food prototypes using a wide selection of techniques, often all within our in house studio workshop. Our digital press can print directly onto flexible materials to print onto clear film to create labels, pouches and bags, or foil to create crisp packets, butter wraps, and confectionary packaging.

Bottle and can prototypes

In addition to our food packaging, we can also design, prototype and produce custom moulded bottles, shrink-sleeve packaging and reverse-printed clear labels for bottles and cans.

UK & EU production

The vast majority of our packaging production is manufactured here in the UK with our long-established suppliers, with some specialist production done in Europe. We don’t source packaging from the far east in order to maintain full control over each and every project. If any issues do arise, we can react quickly to prevent any potential delays, ensuring we hit the agreed delivery date.

Short run production

We offer a short-run production service as a cost-effective solution from anywhere between 1 and 200 units, perfectly suited for start-ups, market testing or promotional events.

We don’t currently offer high-volume production for flexible food products.

Premium finishes

Pantone matched print

Whether you are looking to produce a run of packaging with us or get a prototype made, we offer a colour-matching service on printed colours and foils. We can match to printed samples and most colour books including Pantone colours and metallics and foils. 

Luxury print finishes and hand-finishing services

Our boxes and labels are available with a huge selection of premium materials, printing, and finishing effects. The list below shows some of the finishes available with our prototypes and production runs.
