In Queen Creek

Made here, sold everywhere.

Queen Creek grew up on farms: citrus, cotton, pecans and vegetables, as the town tells its own story. Makers here sell at markets, in local shops and online, and every one of those places is a shelf.

Moving from a market table to a store or to Amazon changes what a label has to do. It needs barcodes, claims and dielines your printer accepts, and a front that wins in two seconds next to bigger brands.

  1. Shelf first. We look at your product next to its competitors before we design anything.
  2. Printer ready. Files built to your printer's dielines and specs.
  3. One line. Every new label still belongs with the rest.

    Straight answers

    Questions owners ask us first.

    Do you design labels for small Queen Creek makers?

    Yes. Small batches get the same care as big lines: a label that reads fast, prints right and grows with you.

    Can you get us ready for retail or Amazon?

    Yes. We design the packaging and the listing images together, so the shelf and the screen look like one brand. The SweetLeaf lineup Robby redesigned is carried by six retailers, from Kroger to Amazon.

    Can you work with a printer here in the Valley?

    Yes. We build the files to your printer's dielines and specs, local or not, and talk to them directly so the first run prints right.

    Can you help us sell at markets and local shops first?

    Yes. A label that reads in two seconds on a market table also works on a store shelf, so we design for both and keep the files ready for the next print run.

    What does packaging design cost?

    It is quoted after a free 20 minute call, once we know the products, the retailers and the printer. A working hour is $100 if you want a second set of eyes first.
