Custom packaging for retail products
Retail is a legibility game. Your carton has a second or two to be understood from a metre away, so the hierarchy of name, benefit and image matters more than any structural trick. We make sure the key face reads clean, the hang tab is reinforced, and the colour holds across the run.
