BESPOKE RETAIL PACKAGING DESIGNED IN THE UK

Whether you offer a luxury or mid-range product, we specialise in designing high-quality bespoke retail packaging that enhances your brand, engages your customers, and provides robust protection for your products.

At the outset of every project, we invest time in getting to know you and your brand. Once we have a thorough understanding of your requirements, including any specific technical features, our team will brainstorm to develop practical, producible solutions—not just concepts. As we move into the design phase, we’ll request your product so we can create packaging that perfectly fits, delivering a complete and tailored solution.

RETAIL PACKAGING MANUFACTURING

UK AND EU PRODUCTION

The majority of our retail packaging is proudly manufactured in the UK with our trusted, long-established suppliers. For specialised needs, we also handle production within Europe. We intentionally avoid sourcing from the Far East to maintain complete control over every project. This approach allows us to respond swiftly to any issues, preventing potential delays and ensuring we meet the agreed delivery dates.

SHORT RUN PRODUCTION

We provide a cost-effective short run production service, offering between 1 and 200 units. This option is ideal for start-ups, market testing, or promotional events, giving you flexibility and quality without compromising on your budget.

PANTONE MATCHED PRINT

Whether you're planning a full production run or need a prototype, we offer a precise colour matching service for printed colours and foils. We can match your packaging to printed samples and a wide range of colour guides, including Pantone colours, metallics, and Kurz foils.

Our in-house studio workshop specialises in producing small batches of production-quality retail packaging. These prototypes are ideal for presentations to stakeholders, pre-sales inquiries, promotional events, market testing, and even TV productions.

We use the same materials specified for full-scale production and offer precise colour matching. Our prototypes can include premium print finishes like embossing, foiling, lamination, spot gloss, and metallics. Additionally, we provide printed prototyping for bottles, tubes, cans, and tins.

LUXURY PRINT FINISHES & HAND-FINISHING SERVICES 

We offer a wide range of premium materials, printing, and finishing effects to enhance your retail packaging. Our services include embossing, foiling, lamination, spot gloss, metallics, and white ink finishes, available on both prototypes and short-run production. Each piece is meticulously crafted to meet the highest standards, ensuring your packaging looks and feels luxurious.
