Packaging Design Packaging design agency in London, United Kingdom
A UK shelf is crowded and a marketplace thumbnail is tiny. Your pack has to be clear in both, print well and, if you are exporting to the Gulf, carry Arabic that looks designed rather than added.
For London and UK food, drink, beauty and FMCG brands, and for those preparing to export to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the Gulf.
A good UK pack that is not ready for the Gulf.
A pack can sell well in the UK and still fail a Gulf importer. The usual reasons: no space for an Arabic label, an Arabic translation added as a sticker, mandatory information laid out for one market only, and artwork that cannot be adapted without redrawing.
We design the pack with the second language in mind: space, hierarchy and a layout that holds both English and Arabic. We place the regulatory content that you or your consultant supply, and we always say that labelling rules should be checked with the authority in each market. For UK-only launches, the same system keeps your range clear and your reprints cheap.

What you get
You get dielines, pack design across your range, bilingual label layout, print-ready files and 3D mock-ups for retail and e-commerce.
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.
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.
Bilingual Label Layout
Arabic and English label layout, balanced so neither language is cramped, with space for the mandatory information you supply.
Range System
A range and variant system, so flavours, sizes or scents are clearly different and still obviously one family.
Print-ready Files
Print-ready artwork with bleeds, marks, spot colours and notes agreed with your printer, checked before it goes to press.
3D Mock-ups
3D mock-ups and flat shots for your online store, marketplace listing and sales presentations.
A new product to pack, or a pack that sells badly?
Tell us the product, the pack type and where it will be sold. We reply with questions and a scoped quote.
How it works
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.
Step 2: Structure
Dielines and pack format agreed with your printer, so the design is made for the real object.
Step 3: Design
Routes shown on 3D mock-ups, then the chosen one developed across the range, with your label text placed correctly.
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 in the UK?
It depends on the scope: pack types, range size, structural work, languages and mock-ups. Send a short brief and we quote a fixed scope. Printing is paid to your printer.
Can you design an Arabic and English pack for Gulf export?
Yes. Both languages share the layout, with Arabic text checked by native readers. Your importer or consultant should confirm the required label content.
Who supplies the regulatory text?
You or your consultant do. Allergens, nutrition and legal marks must be supplied and validated by you. Check each market’s rules with its authority. We place the text.
Do you work with our UK printer?
Yes. We agree the spec and dielines with them and review the proof.
Can you design a range?
Yes. A system for variants that are clearly different at shelf and thumbnail size and read as one family.
What about sustainable packaging?
We can design around recyclable materials and simpler structures. What counts as recyclable depends on your supplier and market, so confirm with them.
Who owns the artwork?
You do. The proposal states in writing that approved artwork and the source files are yours.
Do you make mock-ups for retailers and Amazon?
Yes. 3D mock-ups and flat shots for pitches, listings and your own store.
Can you work remotely?
Yes. Reviews run on video, and files go straight to your printer.
Do you also do the brand identity?
Yes. A new brand can start with identity and carry through to the pack and guidelines.
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.
