TDS packaging design services cover retail packaging, product labels, carton and box design, product range systems, and print-production management — all delivered as part of your subscription with Creative Director oversight. Packaging is among the most commercially critical design a product brand produces: 72% of consumers say packaging design influences their purchase decision. TDS ensures your packaging is not just print-ready, but brand-consistent, retail-competitive, and strategically designed to sell on shelf and online.
From single-SKU label design to full product range packaging systems — here's what TDS packaging design covers.
Front, back, and side label design for bottles, jars, tubes, cans, and flexible packaging. Print-ready artwork with correct colour profiles, bleeds, and dieline specifications.
Folding carton design, retail box graphics, and multi-sided packaging artwork. Designed to perform at shelf — shelf impact, brand hierarchy, and shopper communication considered.
Visual architecture for multi-SKU product ranges — establishing variant colour coding, range hierarchy, naming conventions, and consistent design language across the full range.
Mailer boxes, tissue paper, stickers, thank-you cards, and unboxing experience design. The physical brand experience that drives social sharing and customer retention.
Updating existing packaging to align with a new brand identity, meet new regulatory requirements, or improve shelf competitiveness — while preserving existing brand equity.
Liaison with printers, print-ready file preparation, proofing management, and print finish specification (foiling, embossing, spot UV, matte laminate). Scale and Custom tier included.
Packaging design at TDS is a rigorous process — brief, concept, refine, and print-ready delivery. Every packaging project is reviewed by the Creative Director before artwork is submitted to print.
Define the product, format, materials, retail context, audience, and regulatory requirements. The Creative Director reviews the brief before any design begins.
Initial packaging concepts are presented with visual mockups — showing the design in realistic context (on-shelf, product photography). Two directions for new ranges; one refined direction for updates.
Client-provided regulatory content (ingredients, nutritional panels, barcodes, legal text) is integrated into the design. Two revision rounds included before artwork is finalised.
Print-ready artwork delivered to your printer's specifications — correct colour profiles, bleeds, dieline layers, and print finish notes. Source files included.
TDS packaging is designed as an extension of your brand identity — not a standalone project. Colour, typography, and visual language flow directly from your brand guidelines into your packaging.
TDS designers understand what shelf competition looks like. Every packaging design is assessed not just for brand fit, but for how it performs alongside competitors in the same retail environment.
No back-and-forth with printers over file problems. TDS delivers packaging artwork that is genuinely print-ready — correct colour spaces, bleed, dieline layers, and finish specifications included.
