Packaging Design Packaging design services

A pack does four jobs at once: it protects the product, sells it on a shelf or a screen, carries the required information and has to be printed well. We design it with the printer in the room, not after.

For brands selling physical products in more than one market, in English and Arabic, on shelves and online.

CREATVZ is a packaging design company that works with brands anywhere, remotely. We design packs that protect the product, sell on a shelf or a screen, carry the required information and print well, with your printer involved from the start. Send your product, pack type and printer details through the project form or WhatsApp.

A pack that looks good on screen and fails on press.

Many packs are designed as flat pictures. On press the colours shift, the text sits on a fold, the barcode lands on a seam, and the second language has no room. Reprints cost more than getting it right the first time.

A range adds another test: every flavour or size must be obviously different, still one family, and still readable at thumbnail size on a marketplace. We design for the printer, the shelf and the screen together, and we place the information you supply where it works.

What we pack

  • Food and beverage
  • Beauty and personal care
  • Fragrance and gifts
  • Coffee, dates and sweets
  • Retail and e-commerce products

What you get

You get structure and dielines, the pack design across your range, label layout in the languages you need, and print-ready files.

  1. Structure & Dielines

    The pack structure and dielines, worked out with your printer so the artwork fits the box, pouch, bottle or sleeve you will actually produce.

  2. Pack Art Direction

    Art direction for the pack: the look, imagery and tone that make the product stand out on a shelf or a screen, with brand guidelines for packaging.

  3. Bilingual Label Layout

    Arabic and English label layout, balanced so neither language is cramped, with space for the mandatory information you supply.

  4. Range System

    A range and variant system, so flavours, sizes or scents are clearly different and still obviously one family.

  5. Print-ready Files

    Print-ready artwork with bleeds, marks, spot colours and notes agreed with your printer, checked before it goes to press.

  6. 3D Mock-ups

    3D mock-ups and flat shots for your online store, marketplace listing and sales presentations.

Packaging design for brands selling in many countries

A pack that sells in more than one country has to carry more than one language, and still look like one product.

Brands that sell physical products across borders find that packaging is the hardest brand asset to change. A carton is printed in quantity, a label has to hold information in two or three languages, and the same product may appear on a shelf, in a marketplace listing and in an importer’s catalogue. We take briefs from brands in many countries and design from studios in Riyadh, Jeddah, Manama, London, Lahore and Karachi, planning the pack so each version has room for what it needs.

The work is remote. You send the product, the dimensions and the label content you already have; we agree the structure and a few creative routes over a video call; and the chosen route is built out on the dieline your printer provides. We deliver print-ready files with colour and font specifications, and answer your printer’s technical questions. Label text, ingredients and legal wording come from you or your advisers; we place them clearly and leave room for each language.

For English and Arabic packs, we design both scripts together so the Arabic is not a sticker added later. For a range, we build a system so each flavour or size is clearly different yet obviously part of the family. Importers, distributors and online marketplaces often want images and mock-ups too, and we can prepare those from the same artwork. Tell us the product, the markets and the printer you use, and we will describe how we would approach the pack.

How international brands use packaging design

  1. A pack going to a new market

    A food product sold in one country is heading to another. The artwork is rearranged to make room for a second language without redrawing the whole pack.

  2. A range that looks like four brands

    Four products came from four design jobs. A packaging system gives them one look while keeping each flavour easy to tell apart.

  3. Artwork for an importer’s catalogue

    An importer needs clear product images and mock-ups. We prepare them from the pack artwork, so what the buyer sees matches the real product.

How it works

  1. Step 1: Brief

    The product, the shelf or screen it competes on, the printer and materials, and the languages and markets the pack must cover.

  2. Step 2: Structure

    Dielines and pack format agreed with your printer, so the design is made for the real object.

  3. Step 3: Design

    Routes shown on 3D mock-ups, then the chosen one developed across the range, with your label text placed correctly.

  4. Step 4: Print-ready

    Artwork prepared and checked with the printer, a press proof reviewed, and files handed over in your name.

Questions

How much does packaging design cost?

It depends on the scope: number of pack types, the size of the range, languages, structural work and mock-ups. Send a short brief and we quote a fixed scope. Printing and materials are paid to your printer.

Can the label be Arabic and English?

Yes. Both languages are laid out together so neither is squeezed, and the mandatory information you supply has its own space.

What files do we receive?

Print-ready artwork, flat versions, 3D mock-ups and web images. The list is in the proposal.

Do you design the pack structure too?

We work out dielines and formats with your printer or packaging supplier. For custom structures, we involve them from the start so the design fits what can be made.

Who supplies the regulatory text?

You do. Ingredients, claims, nutritional or safety text and legal marks must be supplied and validated by you. Check labelling rules with the relevant authority or your consultant. We place the text and flag when space is too tight.

Will you design a whole range?

Yes. We create a system for flavours, sizes or scents so the range reads as a family, and each variant is easy to tell apart.

Do you provide brand guidelines for the pack?

Yes. A short packaging guide covers the system, layout rules, colours and how to add new variants without us.

Who owns the artwork?

You do. Ownership of the approved designs and the source files is written into the proposal.

Can you work with our printer?

Yes, and we recommend it. We agree the specification with them, supply files in their format and review the proof.

Do you make photos or 3D images for e-commerce?

Yes. We render 3D mock-ups for listings and presentations, and our product photography service can shoot the real pack.

Can you design for a printer in another country?

Yes. Send us the printer’s dieline and specifications and we prepare files to match, and answer their questions.

Can you design a pack with three languages?

We can plan space for several languages. Tell us the list at the start, and we will say what fits and what needs a different layout.

How do you work if we cannot send physical samples?

We work from product photos, dimensions and a dieline. If you can post a sample, it helps us check proportions.

Which studio would work on our packaging?

We work from Riyadh, Jeddah, Manama, London, Lahore and Karachi. We choose the team around your markets and printer.

Can you update the pack when a regulation changes?

We can revise the artwork when you give us the new content. What the label must say is for you and your advisers to confirm.

What should we send before the first call?

Product photos, dimensions, the markets you sell to, label content you have, any existing pack and your printer’s details.

Tell us about the pack you need.

A short brief is enough: the product, the pack format, the languages and where it will be sold. We reply with questions and a fixed-scope quote.
