I will create eye-catching product packaging and label design ready for print
About this gig
I will create eye-catching product packaging and label design ready for print, built around your brand, your product, and the exact box, pouch, bottle, or jar you actually sell.
Great packaging is the cheapest salesperson you'll ever hire. On a crowded shelf or a thumbnail-sized marketplace listing, your label has about three seconds to say "pick me" before a shopper's eye moves on. I design packaging and labels that earn those seconds: clear hierarchy, confident typography, a color story that pops, and a layout that holds up at full size and shrunk down to a phone screen. Just as important, every file I hand over is genuinely print-ready, set up to your printer's template so it lands on the shelf looking exactly like the proof.
What you get
- A custom packaging or label design for one product, drawn to your real dieline, template, or measured dimensions (box, pouch, bottle, jar, can, tube, sleeve, hangtag, sticker, or wrap).
- Print-ready artwork in CMYK with correct bleed, safe margins, and trim/fold/glue marks respected on your supplied template.
- Print files in PDF/X (press-ready), plus the layered source so a printer can make minor tweaks.
- High-resolution RGB versions (PNG/JPG) for your website, marketplace listings, and social posts.
- A clean type system: chosen fonts, sizes, and hierarchy for product name, descriptor, variant, and supporting copy.
- A defined color palette with exact values (and Pantone references on request) so color stays consistent across reprints.
- Placement for your logo, barcode/UPC zone, net weight, and any mandatory or legal copy you provide.
- Smart use of the panels: front-of-pack impact plus organized back/side panels for ingredients, instructions, or marketing copy.
- A short handover note explaining the files, fonts, and how to send everything to your printer.

How it works
- Brief and assets. You share your product details, target shopper, brand look (logo, fonts, colors if you have them), reference packs you admire, and any required copy or claims.
- Specs and template. You send the printer's dieline/template or exact dimensions and material. If you don't have one, I'll help you request the right file or work from measurements.
- Concept and direction. I establish the visual direction, layout, and typography, then send an initial design for the front-of-pack so we agree on the look early.
- Build-out. Once the direction is approved, I complete the remaining panels, position the barcode and mandatory copy, and refine the details.
- Revisions. You review on a realistic mockup and request changes within your plan's revision rounds.
- Print-ready delivery. I finalize bleed, margins, and color, export your press files, and hand over everything with a short note on sending it to print.
Why choose this
I design to the printer's reality, not just to a pretty picture. Bleed, safe zones, fold lines, glue flaps, color mode, and minimum text sizes are handled from the start, so you avoid the painful surprise of a rejected file or a proof that doesn't match the screen. The work is sales-minded: strong front-of-pack hierarchy that reads instantly, with the back and side panels organized so required information is legible and compliant-looking without crowding the design. You also get a system, not a one-off, a defined palette and type setup that makes future reprints, new sizes, and added variants far easier and more consistent.

FAQ
Q: Do I need a dieline or template to get started? Ideally yes, your printer or manufacturer can provide one, and it guarantees a perfect fit. If you don't have it, I can work from exact measurements or help you request the correct file before we begin.
Q: Will the files actually be ready for print? Yes. I deliver press-ready PDF/X in CMYK with proper bleed, safe margins, and your template's trim and fold marks respected, so your printer can run them directly.
Q: Can you design all sides of the package, not just the front? Absolutely. The Standard and Premium plans cover the full package, including back and side panels for ingredients, instructions, net weight, and marketing copy.
Q: Do you handle the barcode and legal text? I position and size your barcode/UPC zone and lay out any mandatory copy you supply. Please provide your barcode image and final legal/ingredient text; I'm a designer, not a regulatory or compliance advisor.
Q: What if I don't have a logo or brand colors yet? I can still design strong packaging using clean typography and a fitting palette. Note that this service covers packaging and label design, not full logo or brand-identity creation.
Q: How many revisions are included? One round on Basic, two on Standard, and three on Premium. We lock the direction early on the front-of-pack so revisions stay focused and efficient.
Q: Will I get a mockup so I can see it in real life? Yes. Standard and Premium include realistic mockups so you can preview the product before committing to a print run, and Basic includes a flat preview.
Q: Can you match my existing product line so a new flavor or variant fits in? Definitely. Send me your current packaging and I'll match the layout, type, and structure, then differentiate the new variant through color and naming so it sits naturally beside the rest of the range.

Really clean, professional pouch packaging design. Handed the file to my manufacturer and it went to print without a single tweak needed.

The packaging design came out gorgeous and the print-ready files dropped straight into our printer's portal with no issues at all. Bleed and margins were spot on.
- @avaf★★★★★4
Solid box design and the final files printed cleanly. Took a couple of rounds to get the back panel text the way I wanted, but the result looks great.

Eye-catching label that customers keep complimenting, and they sent over the high-res file ready for the print shop exactly as promised.

Absolutely loved the label layout for our bottle line, it really pops on the shelf and the seller nailed our brand colors on the first try.
