Summary

FAQs

• Do you handle printing or production?

  I don’t produce the packaging myself, but I’ll deliver fully production-ready files tailored to your manufacturer’s specs. I can also liaise directly with your printer to ensure a smooth handoff if you’d like light-touch support after delivery.

• Can you design based on an existing dieline or structure?

  Yes - whether you’re working with an existing dieline, need a structure recommendation, or want something custom, I’ll adapt the creative direction to suit. We’ll align on form factor during the discovery phase.

• What if I don’t have brand guidelines?

  That’s fine - I can either work from visual references or help you define a simple brand system. If you'd like to build a full visual identity alongside packaging, I offer that as an add-on.

• Is this just design, or does it include strategy too?

  The core package includes strategic discovery and concept development, focused on positioning, tone, and market fit. For deeper brand strategy (voice, naming, architecture), I can extend the scope—just ask.

• How long does the process take?

  Most projects take 3–6 weeks depending on complexity, feedback turnaround, and whether you opt for brand identity work. I’ll share a timeline with milestones during the proposal stage.

• What formats will I receive?

  Final files include layered Adobe Illustrator (AI) and print-ready PDFs, complete with outlined fonts, color specs, and production notes. If your printer requires a specific format, I’ll tailor files accordingly.

• Can I request changes after final delivery?

  You’ll have multiple rounds to refine throughout the project. If tweaks are needed post-delivery (e.g. manufacturer adjustments), I offer optional light support or can quote additional changes as needed.
