FOOD PACKAGING DESIGN

CUSTOM PACKAGING DESIGN FOR FOOD

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 a 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.

SHORT RUN FOOD PACKAGING 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. Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer high-volume production for flexible food products

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.

PROFESSIONAL QUALITY PRINTED 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 & CAN PRINTED 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.

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. We offer foiling, spot gloss, and white ink finishes on prototypes and short run production.
