Summary

Premium Packaging Design by Maria Nowicka

A strategic, high-quality packaging or label design for one product, built to look premium, convert better, and elevate your brand across both online and offline sales channels.

I’ll help you turn your idea into a living, breathing product within days, with fast results, expert support, and zero guesswork. This can be one of the most exciting parts of launching a business, and I do my best to make it feel joyful, clear, and creatively empowering.

I guide the creative direction so your packaging feels intentional, emotional, and made to sell, not just “pretty.” And with technical precision (I’m a former P&G packaging engineer), you avoid costly print delays, file issues, or unnecessary expenses.

Let’s bring your vision to life - and get your product launch-ready.

FAQs

Where can I see examples of past packaging work?
You can view my past projects on here on Contra on my website (www.marnovya.myportfolio.com) I've designed packaging for brands like COSMOSS by Kate Moss, Bottica, Coca-Cola, and indie skincare and wellness lines. I specialize in making products look premium, modern, and memorable.
What if I don’t have a dieline or printer selected yet?
No problem! I can work with standard formats (e.g. label wraps, jars, boxes) and adapt the final design once you choose a printer. I’m also happy to guide you toward print vendors that match your needs and budget. As packaging engineer, I can also suggest more custom and non-standard solutions to truly make your brand stand out. So, we can discuss technicalities together, before you reach out to printer :-)
Can you write the back label copy too?
Yes! I offer light copywriting and ingredient hierarchy structuring as an add-on. If you already have the copy, I’ll help organize and style it visually to feel balanced, clean, and easy to read.
What’s the difference between this and a full packaging system?
This offer is for a single product or SKU - ideal for testing or launching one hero item. If you're launching 3+ products, you’ll want my Full Packaging System offer, which ensures all SKUs look cohesive and scalable.
I’m in a rush — can you deliver faster?
It happens sometimes! If my schedule allows, I do offer 48h–72h rush delivery for a small fee. Message me before booking so we can align on your timeline and ensure I can meet your deadline. :-)
What if I don’t have a clear vision for my packaging?
No problem - that’s exactly where I come in :-) Part of my process is helping you uncover the right visual direction based on your product, audience, and business goals. I’ll guide you through a short intake (or call) to clarify what makes your brand special - and then translate that into a design that feels right and performs well. You don’t need Pinterest boards or perfect references - just your product and your passion.
