Packaging design

5M designs packaging that survives a factory, a shelf and a customer's hands: labels, boxes, pouches and custom structures, designed as real three-dimensional objects, vetted for manufacturability with your printer, and delivered as production-ready files with specs a vendor can follow without questions.

    Production

    Manufacturability vetted with the printer, proofs reviewed, files released with specs.

    Follow-through

    First run inspected, and a system handed off so future SKUs stay consistent.

Questions, answered

Packaging design frequently asked questions

How much does packaging design cost?

Packaging projects start at $500. A single label sits near the start of that range; full structural packaging with custom dielines is quoted after we understand the product and the print run.

Can you work with our existing printer?

Yes, and we prefer to. We vet materials, finishes and tolerances with your printer before finalizing anything, so the design that gets approved is one that can actually be produced at your volume and budget.

Do you design packaging that meets labeling requirements?

Yes. Regulatory and labeling requirements are treated as design inputs from the start, not squeezed in afterward. You confirm the requirements for your product category; we design within them.
