What's included

• Final Packaging design files

  These are the core design files that contain all the graphic elements, artwork, and layouts of the packaging. They are typically provided in a digital format and may include formats like Adobe Illustrator (AI), Adobe Photoshop (PSD), or other industry-standard file formats.

• Print-Ready Art Work

  The final packaging design files should be optimized for printing. This includes specifying color profiles, bleed areas, crop marks, and ensuring high-resolution images and graphics. It's crucial to provide print-ready files to ensure the design is accurately reproduced during manufacturing.

• Die Lines

  Die lines are templates that show the layout of the packaging, including where folds, cuts, and other structural elements should be. They are essential for the actual production of the physical packaging and may be provided in a vector format (AI or PDF) or as a 3D model for more complex packaging.

• Color Specifications

  Detailed information about the colors used in the design, including Pantone (PMS) or CMYK values, ensures color consistency during printing. This can be included in the design files or as a separate document.

• Fonts

  If custom fonts were used in the packaging design, the designer should provide the font files or specify where to obtain them to maintain consistency in future design materials.

• High-Resolution images and graphics

  Any images, illustrations, or graphics used in the packaging design should be provided in their original high-resolution format. This allows for quality reproduction during printing.

• Mockups and Prototypes

  Depending on the project scope, the designer may provide physical or digital mockups or prototypes of the packaging to give the client a visual representation of the final product.

• 3D Renders

  For complex or structural packaging designs, 3D renders can help clients visualize how the packaging will appear in a three-dimensional environment.

• Brand Guidelines

  If applicable, the designer may provide or update brand guidelines to incorporate the new packaging design, ensuring consistency across all brand materials.

• Usage and printing instructions

  Clear instructions on how to use the provided files, including recommendations for printing methods, materials, and finishes, can be crucial for successful packaging production.

• Revisions

  Depending on the agreement, the designer may include a specific number of revisions in the deliverables to make minor adjustments to the design.

• Source Files

  Some designers may provide the source files for the project, allowing the client or manufacturer to make future edits or updates to the design.
