Packaging isn’t just about the packaging itself.

Packaging is an integral part of the brand. That’s why we’re able to link its visual concept to the branding, product photography, campaigns and website. Everything is developed under a single creative direction, so the brand doesn’t have to start from scratch with every new output. From the initial concept through to packaging and visual identity, right through to content and communication, we keep the brand moving in the same direction.

01

Packaging

“The packaging sells the product even before the customer picks it up.”

DESIGN PRINT DATA 3D VISUALISATION SUPERVISION OPTIMISATION

Our packaging design service covers the entire process: analysis of the product category and competition on the shelf, packaging concept and design, preparation of print data precisely in accordance with the printer’s requirements, 3D visualisation of the product before production begins, and supervision of the printing process directly at the print shop to ensure that the colours and materials are 100% accurate. We work with all types of packaging, from cardboard boxes, foil pouches (doypacks) and labels, through to glass and plastic packaging, right up to complex multi-pack solutions for the retail sector.

02

Branding

“We build brands. Not just logos.”

Strategy Naming Brand book Visual identity CI

Packaging is always part of a brand’s wider narrative, which is why we approach branding as part of the same project. A strong brand needs more than just a nice logo. We define its positioning, character and visual language so that it is recognisable, memorable and consistent across all touchpoints. As a result, the packaging on the shelf, the website and the campaign all come across as a single brand, rather than as a patchwork of elements from different suppliers.

We handle branding and packaging design as a single team, which reduces the time to market compared to commissioning two separate agencies.

03

Kampane

“The right customer. The right time. The right market.”

Online SEO PPC Localisation PR

A campaign isn’t just a series of attractive visuals. It needs a clear concept, the right audience and a way to reach people where they make their decisions.

We create campaigns from the creative concept right through to their launch. We integrate online communication, social media, PPC, SEO, PR and localisation according to the target audience and market. In doing so, we always base our creative work on what the brand or product actually needs to achieve.

04

Photograph

“When a product looks right, it sells more easily.”

Product photography Food styling 3D

Product and food styling photography is often a customer’s first visual encounter with a product. That is why it is not enough simply to take a good photograph of the product; it must be correctly lit, styled and presented within the context of the brand. We take photographs directly in our studio, including 3D visualisations, which we use as early as the packaging design stage, so that the client can see a realistic result even before printing.

We create product photography for packaging, online shops, campaigns, catalogues and social media. Depending on the nature of the product, we can also provide food styling, set design, post-production or 3D visualisations.

05

Web

"A website that not only looks good, but also sells."

UI/UX Development CMS SEO Optimisation

A website must combine design, content, user experience and business objectives.

Packaging sells on the shelf; a website sells online, which is why it builds on the same visual identity as the packaging and branding. We design and develop websites and online shops (UI/UX, development, CMS) with a focus on SEO and technical optimisation, so that a product with strong packaging also has a website that supports its online sales.

We design the UX/UI, content structure and visual design of websites that work on both desktop and mobile devices. We take care of development, CMS, SEO and subsequent optimisation so that the website is not just an online business card, but an active part of your marketing and sales strategy.

FAQ

How much does packaging design cost?

The price of packaging design depends on the scope of the project, the type of packaging, the number of variants and the full extent of the work involved. Designing a single new package is one thing; creating a complete system for dozens of products is quite another.

The price may include strategy and analysis, a creative concept, the packaging design itself, 3D visualisation, preparation of print data, print optimisation or print supervision.

Following your initial brief, we will recommend a suitable scope of services and prepare a detailed quotation.

How long does it take to design the packaging?

It depends on the complexity of the project, the number of variants and the speed of approval. A simpler design for a single package is less time-consuming than creating a complete packaging system.

For a new product, we take into account not only the design itself, but also analysis, the creative concept, revisions, preparation of print data and, where necessary, visualisation or print supervision.

We draw up a specific timetable based on the scope of the project before it begins.

What types of packaging do you design?

We work with various types of primary and secondary packaging. For example, we design cardboard boxes, labels, foil pouches and doypacks, as well as glass and plastic packaging and comprehensive multipack and retail solutions.

When designing, we don’t just focus on the graphics. We also take into account the material, printing technology, how the packaging will be used and how it will perform on the shelf.

What is print supervision and why is it important in packaging?

Print supervision is the professional oversight of packaging production directly at the print works. Its aim is to ensure that the final print product corresponds as closely as possible to the approved design and the technical requirements of the project.

We check, for example, colour accuracy, print data, the alignment of individual elements, materials and surface finishes. Where necessary, we can liaise directly with the print shop to resolve technical issues arising between the design and production stages.

This is important in packaging because a design that looks good on a screen may not look equally good on the final packaging without proper preparation and inspection. We therefore carry out print supervision for the majority of our packaging projects.

Do you also help with getting products listed with retail chains?

Packaging alone does not guarantee a product’s inclusion on the shelves, but it can significantly influence how a product is perceived within its category and whether it is ready for the retail environment.

We have many years’ experience with packaging for brands whose products have made it onto the shelves of retail chains. In our projects, we therefore also consider how the product performs on the shelf, how it stands out from the competition, and how the entire product range can be systematically organised.

Our past work with clients and their products has also led to new distribution opportunities and product listings in retail chains.

Do you work with smaller brands as well, or just with large chains?

We work with both. The size of the brand isn’t a deciding factor for us. What matters is what the product needs and where it needs to go.

We have experience with both individual products and extensive product portfolios. For larger brands, we can manage tens to hundreds of SKUs; for smaller brands, we can create a basic packaging system that allows them to grow gradually.

In long-term partnerships, it is precisely this system that proves crucial – a new product does not have to start from scratch every time, but builds on clearly defined brand guidelines. At Mäspome, for example, we currently manage the packaging design for more than 300 SKUs.

For which product segments do you design packaging?

We have the most experience in FMCG and retail – food, drinks, spices, dietary supplements, cosmetics, drugstore products and other consumer goods.

We have worked on individual products as well as extensive product ranges and private labels. For each segment, we take into account its specific characteristics, sales methods, target customers and competitive environment.

Can you arrange for the packaging to be localised for several countries?

Yes. For projects targeting multiple markets, we can localise content and communications in such a way that the packaging remains visually consistent whilst meeting the requirements of each specific market.

When localising, we do not simply translate texts. The length of the text, the hierarchy of information, the brand’s visual guidelines and the practical requirements of the specific market are also important.

Depending on the scope of the project, we can manage or coordinate individual parts of the process.
