Paper packaging
Retail & gifting
Packaging for retail & gifting.
From the shelf to the shopping bag, keep the presentation connected.
Start with the product
A practical brief. A considered result.
Retail and gift packaging connects recognition, handling and the moment of opening. Coordinate the box, bag and printed pieces so that each serves a practical role and contributes to the same visual story.
A strong first impression
Choose a packaging format and graphic hierarchy appropriate to the product, occasion and retail setting.
Easy handling
Review bag load, box assembly and storage volume with the people who pack and sell the product.
A coordinated set
Plan cartons, bags, tags and inserts together to avoid inconsistent paper or colour expectations.
Formats to explore
Build the right combination.
Use these formats as a starting point. Each specification should be checked against your product and market requirements.
Prepare the conversation
Tell us what the pack
needs to do.
Share the intended use, size, artwork and delivery requirements. Mention any product-specific compatibility or compliance requirements at the start.
Food-contact suitability, chemical compatibility, testing and certification requirements must be confirmed for the agreed specification.
Your project checklist
- Product size, weight and retail context
- Gift-set or seasonal requirements
- Bag and box coordination needs
- Assembly and storage preferences
- Artwork, quantities and delivery destination
Industry questions
Useful things to clarify.
Can the shopping bag match the gift box?
Yes, the design can be coordinated. Substrate and finish differences should be checked so the result meets your agreed colour expectations.
What matters for a seasonal launch?
Confirm all sizes, artwork approval dates, sample needs and delivery requirements early. A launch date is not a production commitment until specifications and timing are agreed.
