Branded packaging that carries your brand to the customer

• Printed plastic bags for bread, ice, produce and general retail. See plastic bag printing.
• Shopper bags with handles, for stores, events and promotions.
• Custom boxes in cardboard or rigid styles for products and gifts. See custom boxes.
• Specialty packaging such as popcorn boxes and cup holders for events and food outlets.

Describe your product and we recommend the format that protects it and shows it off.

Start with the product: its size, weight, fragility and whether it is displayed on a shelf, handed over a counter, couriered or gifted. A heavy product wants strong board or thick film; a gift wants a good unboxing; a promotional bag wants a big logo.

Then consider quantity and reorder pattern. Made-to-measure packaging is usually produced in runs, so thinking about demand over a few months helps you pick a sensible quantity. Samples or mock-ups are worth requesting when the fit matters.

Packaging artwork is built on a dieline, a flat template of the box or bag with fold lines, glue flaps and print areas. We supply a dieline once the size is agreed. Place your artwork on it as vector files, keep text clear of folds and add bleed.

• Supply Pantone or CMYK colour references.
• Include any barcodes, ingredient or regulatory text you are required to carry. Compliance is the client's responsibility.
• Design help can be quoted separately.

Packaging is usually made to order, so timing depends on format, quantity, materials and capacity. We confirm it on the written quote after artwork approval.

Packaging orders are bulky. Delivery is quoted per job, and collection from our Rivonia shop can be arranged once we confirm the order is ready. Check quantities and print quality when you receive the goods.
