Packaging design and prepress, from concept to press.
AI-driven design for cartons, poly bags and labels, finished by a prepress team with 25 years on press. One partner from the first idea to the press-ready file.
Four formats. One print-true standard.
Every format below starts with AI-assisted concepts and ends with artwork built on your printer's template, in your colors, ready for the press you print on.
Folding cartons that stay on brand at every size.
Our AI-powered workflow delivers faster design cycles while keeping perfect alignment with real manufacturing specs. Every carton stays on brand across all sizes and styles, reducing errors, revisions and production downtime. Final artwork is optimized for digital, offset or flexo printing.
- Artwork built on your printer's dieline
- Carton families across sizes
- Panels, nutrition facts and barcodes
- Press-ready files for any press
Poly bags, pouches and mailers, stepped for flexo.
Printed bags live or die on the press. We build flexible packaging artwork that respects seals, gussets and repeats, then trap and separate it for flexographic printing, including fully stepped files for continuous sleeves.
- Trapping and separations for flexo
- One look across flavors and sizes
- Flexographic film negatives
Labels that are clean, compliant and print-optimized.
Fast concept generation with clean, compliant layouts for food, cosmetics, supplements and retail. From your first product label to a full range, every label is built with the panels and barcodes it needs to reach the shelf.
- New product labels
- FDA nutrition panels
- Verified UPC barcodes
- Barcodes on adhesive labels
Packaging concepts for new brands and product lines.
High-precision artwork generated with AI and refined by experts, ready for boxes, bottles, bags, wraps and more. Ideal when you are launching a product, building a range or giving an existing line a new look.

From first idea to press-ready file, in five clear steps.
AI gives you more to react to, sooner. Our team does what AI cannot: builds the artwork around your printer, your substrate and your final print.
-
01 Step one
Concept development
Tell us about the product, the shelf and the printer. We use AI to explore concept directions fast, then shape the strongest ones by hand.
Concept directions to react to -
02 Step two
Design
The chosen direction is built on your printer's template, with consistent layout, type and imagery across the whole product line.
Full artwork on the real dieline -
03 Step three
Revisions
You mark it up and we refine. Every round is checked against print specs, so a late change never breaks the file.
Approved artwork, spec-checked -
04 Step four
Production-ready
Final files are trapped, separated and output to your printer's exact requirements, for flexo, offset or digital.
Press-ready PDFs, archived -
05 Step five
Contract Proofs
Optional target color proofs are available based on SWOP standards used by most commercial printers.

Every file leaves our hands with
The production details that separate a nice design from a package that runs clean on press.
- Trap set to press specs
- Line screen and separations
- Verified barcodes
- Retouched, color-true images
- Archive-quality storage

Send us your brief01What does prepress actually mean?
Prepress is everything between an approved design and a printing plate. We convert your artwork into a print-ready digital file: template-specific, color-accurate and built to the exact specs of your printer, including trap, line screen and color separations.
02How does AI fit into your packaging design?
AI helps us generate and explore concept directions far faster than sketching alone. Every direction is then refined by our designers, and the final artwork is built and checked by prepress specialists. You get the speed of AI with none of the print risk.
03Will AI-designed packaging actually print correctly?
Yes, because it never goes to press as a raw AI image. We rebuild it in CMYK and spot colors on your printer's template, set trap and bleed, place verified barcodes and output a press-ready PDF.
04Can you work with my printer?
We have worked with all types of printers since 2000, flexographic and offset, and we build files to their exact print specifications. If you do not have a printer yet, we can connect you with one that fits your product and run size.
05What types of packaging do you design?
Folding cartons, poly bags and pouches, labels, continuous sleeves and complete packaging concepts for new product lines, for food, cosmetics, supplements and retail.
06Do you handle FDA nutrition panels and UPC barcodes?
Yes. We build FDA nutrition panels into your artwork and include high-resolution, verified barcodes in your files. We can also supply UPC barcodes printed on adhesive labels.
07What files will I receive?
08I only have a product idea. Can you still help?
That is a great place to start. We help startups with new product labels, branding development and consulting for the product launch, then carry the design all the way to production-ready files.Book a Consultation today
