Pouches to boxes, we've packaged every product for any industry Custom retail packaging design for your product.

We design packaging for a wide range of retail and consumer product categories, including: Food & FMCG Beverages / Health & Nutrition / Bath & Beauty / Cosmetics & Personal Care / Pet Products / Fashion & Apparel / Jewellery & Accessories / Gifting / Home & Living / Office & Stationery / Construction & Hardware Products / Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare / Lifestyle Products / Entertainment & Consumer Products

Retail packaging can take many forms depending on the product, distribution channel, shelf environment and production requirements. Common packaging types include: Boxes & cartons / Pouches & flexible bags / Bottles & jars / Cans & tins / Tubes / Sleeves & wraps / Labels & stickers / Folding cartons / Rigid boxes / Gift / boxes & premium packaging / Blister & display packaging / Paper bags & shopping bags / Stand-up pouches / Sachets & single-use packs / Multipacks & secondary packaging We can develop packaging for single products, multiple SKUs, product ranges and complete packaging systems, ensuring the visual identity remains consistent across the range.

The appropriate packaging material depends on the product, required protection, shelf life, functionality, brand positioning, production method and budget. Packaging Designs® works with packaging formats using a wide range of materials, including: Aluminium & aluminium foil / Foil laminates & flexible films / Paper & paperboard / Card stock & carton board / Corrugated board / Hardboard / Glass / Ceramic / Metal / Tin & steel / Plastic & polymer materials / Polythene / PET and other packaging plastics / Textile & fabric / Leather / Wood / Cork / Sustainable and recyclable packaging materials Where sustainability is an important requirement, we can consider material efficiency, recyclability, reduced material use and alternative packaging solutions as part of the design development process.

Packaging Designs® develops artwork according to the printing technology, material, packaging format and production requirements of each project. Depending on the packaging, we can prepare artwork for: Flexographic printing / Gravure printing / Offset printing / Digital printing / Screen printing / Flexible packaging printing / Label printing / Specialty and finishing processes We also consider production requirements such as colour specifications, bleed, trapping, dielines, finishes, varnishes, foils, embossing, spot colours and other print considerations. We work with the appropriate printing and production partners to help ensure the final artwork is technically prepared for manufacturing.

The timeline depends on the number of packaging items, complexity, number of concepts, required revisions, information availability and production requirements. As a general guide, a typical product packaging design project takes approximately 1–2.5 weeks. Projects involving multiple SKUs, packaging structures, complex illustrations, extensive product ranges or additional brand development may require more time. We establish the expected scope, deliverables and timeline before starting the project so the development process remains clear and organised.

Product packaging design costs depend on the packaging format, number of SKUs, design complexity, creative requirements, number of concepts, revisions and final production requirements. As an indicative guide: Essential / Starter packaging design: approximately LKR 30,000–35,000 for a single packaging item such as a basic pouch, box, tin or label. Mid-range / Complete packaging development: approximately LKR 60,000–85,000+ for more comprehensive requirements, which may include multiple items, multiple concepts, 3D packaging mockup and print-ready artwork. These are indicative ranges rather than fixed packages. We provide a tailored quotation after understanding your product, packaging format, number of SKUs and design requirements.

Yes. You do not need to start with a new logo or complete rebranding project. If you already have an established brand identity, we can develop the packaging around your existing logo, brand guidelines, colours, typography and visual language. Our objective is to translate the existing brand into packaging that is appropriate for the retail environment, target audience and product category, while maintaining strong brand recognition and consistency. Where necessary, we can also refine or extend the existing visual system to make it work more effectively across packaging applications.

The more information you can provide at the beginning, the more effectively we can develop the packaging. Useful information includes: Existing logo and brand guidelines / Product name and product information / Product description and key benefits / Target market and customer profile Packaging type and dimensions / Bottle, can, pouch, box or container specifications / Number of SKUs or product variants / Product photographs / Required text and regulatory information / Barcode and other product codes / Printing requirements / Preferred materials and finishes / Examples of packaging you like / Competitor packaging references / Any existing design ideas or visual inspiration You don't need to have everything perfectly prepared before contacting us. We can help identify the information and specifications required during the initial consultation.

Our packaging design process begins with understanding the product, brand, target customer, market position and commercial objectives. A typical process includes: 1. Discovery & Requirements We understand the product, packaging format, audience, competition, specifications and business objectives. 2. Market & Competitive Research We analyse the category, competitors, retail environment and relevant packaging trends to identify opportunities for differentiation. 3. Creative Direction We establish the visual direction, design strategy and key communication priorities for the packaging. 4. Concept Development We develop distinctive packaging concepts that balance brand identity, product communication and shelf impact. 5. Refinement The selected direction is refined based on feedback and developed into a complete packaging solution. 6. Packaging System & SKU Development Where required, we extend the design across product variants, sizes, flavours, colours and multiple SKUs. 7. Production Artwork We prepare the final artwork according to the relevant dieline, printing technology and production specifications. 8. Production Support Where required, we coordinate with printing and manufacturing partners to support the transition from design to finished packaging.

Our standard packaging design development typically includes 2 unique creative concepts. Once you select the preferred direction, we refine the chosen concept and develop the final artwork for production. Depending on the project, the final deliverables may include: Primary packaging design / SKU and variant adaptations / Different packaging sizes / Artwork Print-ready artwork / Dieline-based production files / 3D packaging visualisation or mockup. The exact number of concepts, revisions and deliverables is confirmed in the quotation based on the project scope.

We may use AI and other modern creative technologies as supporting tools for research, exploration, ideation and productivity where they add value to the project. However, AI does not replace our strategic thinking, creative direction or design expertise. Our process still relies on understanding the market, competitors, target customers, brand positioning and commercial objectives. We evaluate and refine every design direction to ensure it is relevant, distinctive and appropriate for the product. Our team remains involved throughout the process - from research and analysis through creative development, refinement and final production artwork - with the goal of creating packaging that connects with customers and supports business growth.

A dieline is a technical outline or template that defines the shape, dimensions, cut lines, folds and other production specifications of a packaging structure. For example, a carton, box, pouch, label or sleeve may require a specific dieline supplied by the printer, packaging manufacturer or production partner.

Yes. Packaging Designs® can support the transition from design development to production. We work with printing and production partners across Sri Lanka and can coordinate with the appropriate supplier based on the packaging format, material, printing technology and required finish. Depending on the project, our production support can include: Preparing print-ready artwork / Coordinating dielines / Checking technical specifications / Communicating with printers or manufacturers / Supporting colour and print requirements / Reviewing production samples where applicable Our goal is to help ensure that the approved design is translated accurately from the screen into the final physical packaging.

No. Product packaging design and website design/development are separate services and are not automatically included in a packaging design project. However, Packaging Designs® can continue supporting your brand with website design, eCommerce, UX/UI and digital experiences as a follow-on project. This allows us to maintain a consistent visual language across your packaging, website, eCommerce store, social media and other customer touchpoints.

Packaging Designs® approaches packaging as more than a graphic design exercise. We consider how the packaging needs to communicate, differentiate, attract attention and ultimately support the product in the market. Our approach brings together brand strategy, packaging design, visual identity, UX thinking and production knowledge. We consider the complete journey from product positioning and customer perception to shelf impact, packaging structure, print production and final execution. With more than 14 years of experience across branding, packaging, digital design and UX/UI, we understand how to create packaging that is not only visually distinctive but also connected to the wider brand. Our goal is simple: create packaging that looks right, works in the real world and helps brands compete more effectively.
