Packaging for Austin brands
If you are launching a product in Austin, the first run is often small: a few hundred units for local shops, markets and an online store, with retail buyers to pitch next. That changes the packaging plan. Short digital print runs suit labels and sleeves over custom boxes, and renders often have to exist before the first box is printed so you can list the product and send a sell sheet.
We plan the design so it can grow with the brand. A label system that works for one product should still work when you add a second flavor or a larger size, without starting over.
How a Austin packaging project runs
- You send the product size, where it sells, and your brand files.
- We reply with questions or a written quote and a delivery date.
- You get two or three design directions shown on the real box or label shape, and pick one.
- We refine it, set it on the printer's dieline, and send print files plus renders for your listings.
Everything happens by email, shared folders and video calls booked in Central time. We have no office in Austin. For packaging, the printer's dieline and a physical sample from them matter more than a meeting.

Questions
Do you meet in Austin?
No. We work by email and video calls on Central time. Your printer's dieline and a physical sample from them are what the project needs.
Can you work with a short first print run?
Yes. Tell us the quantity and printer and we design for what that process can do, such as digital printing with fewer special finishes.
Ask for a quote
The price depends on how many package shapes and sizes you need, how much copy and regulatory text goes on them, and whether you want renders as well as print files. Each project gets its own written quote.
