Retail Packaging
Successful retail packaging involves more than just providing a protective pack for your product – it needs to reflect the values of your brand and communicate the features of your product.

Key elements to successful
retail packaging:
Pack design
A good pack design will enhance your product and add perceived value. A unique shape can also add shelf presence and distinguish your product from your competitors. A bespoke pack design can also reduce waste, thereby reducing production and transportation cost.
Graphics
The graphics are vitally important to the success of any retail pack. As well as grabbing consumers’ attention, graphics should reflect the values of your brand and clearly communicate the features of your product. In addition, other important information such as technical product information and instructions for use should be incorporated. Our design studio have a vast experience of producing packaging graphics from brand extensions to new concepts.
Clam Packs
Self locking blister packs designed to fit and display your product with maximum effect.
Trapped Heat Seal Blisters
An attractive versatile alternative to a heat sealed pack offering greater design flexibility.
Heat Seal Blisters

Tricels
Free standing or hanging packs offering excellent protection and versatility.
Shelf Display Trays
The ideal tray presentation for multiple packs at the POS. Designed for a perfect fit.
Box Inserts
Displays and protects product in trays that can be stacked for easy transit and easily packed.
Slide-on Blister Packs

Packing
There are two elements to the packing to consider – ease of loading the pack and sealing the product in the pack. Security can be a deciding factor on the type of pack required – heat sealed clams offer the highest level of security from tampering. The pack should also be easy to pack by operatives to minimise packing time and therefore costs.
We always ensure that packs are easy to assemble during the design stage. Considering this at the beginning of the design process can make maximum efficiencies. Using our own contract packing facility can reduce transportation costs from shipping packaging components to various sites within the supply chain.
