Packaging design in Scottsdale.

In Scottsdale
Pretty is not enough. It has to sell.
A Scottsdale boutique shelf and an online store both ask the same thing of a package: say what it is and why it costs what it costs, in about two seconds.
Growing from local shops into bigger retail or Amazon changes what a label must do. It needs barcodes and dielines your printer accepts, and a front that holds up next to brands with bigger budgets.
- Shelf test. Your product next to its real competitors, before any design.
- Printer ready. Files built to your printer dielines, checked before they ship.
- Line logic. Each new product looks like it belongs to the family.

Straight answers
Questions owners ask us first.
Do you design packaging for small Scottsdale brands?
Yes. Many of the 2,000+ labels and packaging pieces we have made since 2014 were for small brands taking their first steps into stores.
Can a premium product look premium without a huge print budget?
Usually, yes. Most of the effect comes from type, color and layout, not exotic finishes. We design to your printer and your budget from day one.
Can you get us ready for retail or Amazon?
Yes. We set up barcodes, required claims, dielines and the image sets each channel asks for, so the files pass the first time.
Can you work with a printer in the Valley?
Yes. We build files to your printer specs and check the proofs with them, local or not.
What does packaging design cost?
We quote after a free 20 minute call, once we know the products, the stores and the printer. A working hour is $100 if you want a second set of eyes first.
