Packaging design

Packaging that sells on the shelf and survives print

Concept, dieline layout and print-ready files — from 60,000 ₽

Packaging has two jobs: to be picked up in three seconds and to come back from the printer looking like the file. We design on your real dieline, keep the mandatory information legible, and hand over prepress-ready artwork that your printer accepts without a week of corrections.

How we work

Six stages, with the technical constraints agreed before any design work.

1Brief and product

What is inside, who buys it, at what price, and where it will be sold: shelf, marketplace or your own store.

1–2 days
2Technical setup

We collect the dieline, material, print method and colour limits from your printer, so nothing has to be redrawn later.

2–3 days
3Concepts

Two or three directions shown on the pack in context, next to real competitors, at real size.

1 week
4Layout

The chosen concept laid out on the dieline with all mandatory information, barcode and marks in legible sizes.

4–5 days
5Prepress

Bleeds, crop marks, colour separation, overprint and Pantone — then a check with the printer before release.

2–3 days
6Files and visuals

Print-ready PDF, editable sources and 3D visuals for listings, the website and social media.

2 days

Where packaging usually goes wrong

Six problems that cost either sales or a reprint.

Designed without the dieline

A beautiful flat layout can fall on a fold or a glue flap. We always design on the real cut.

Unreadable at arm’s length

The product name has to be recognised from a metre away, not only in a close-up render.

Colour surprises after print

Screen colour on kraft, foil or transparent film behaves differently. Materials are chosen and checked in advance.

Mandatory information squeezed in last

Composition, weight and marks are part of the layout from the start, not text crammed into a leftover corner.

Flavours look like different brands

A range needs one skeleton and a clear colour logic, so customers find the next flavour instantly.

Files rejected by prepress

Missing bleeds, RGB images and wrong separations delay production. We deliver artwork to the printer’s spec.

Questions before we start

Including the technical ones your printer will ask.

How much does packaging design cost?

One label or a single pack starts at 60,000 ₽. Packaging with 3D visuals for listings and social media starts at 85,000 ₽. A product line of three to five SKUs is 110,000 ₽ and up, since a shared template makes each extra flavour or size cheaper.

How long does it take?

2–3 weeks: a few days for the brief and shelf analysis, up to a week for concepts, then layout on the real dieline, proofing and print-ready files. A product line takes 3–4 weeks.

Do you work with our printer?

Yes, and we prefer to talk to them before designing. We ask for the dieline, print method, material and colour limits, prepare files to those specifications and answer prepress questions directly.

Who is responsible for the mandatory information?

You supply the legally required texts — composition, weight, shelf life, storage, manufacturer details, certification marks and barcode. We lay them out legibly and in the right places, and flag anything that looks missing, but the content stays your responsibility.

What files do we receive?

Print-ready PDF with bleeds, crop marks and correct separation, editable sources, a version adapted to the actual material, plus 3D visuals in PNG for marketplaces, the website and social media when that option is included.

Can you redesign existing packaging without changing the dieline?

Yes, and it is the cheapest kind of redesign: the shelf presence changes while your production stays exactly as it is. We work inside the existing technical limits.
