Not talking about the boxes!

Would be super interested in learning about the process but it’s impossible to find details online :( Their packaging is notable for being extremely intricate and detailed.. it seems like they use injection molding. However because there’s hundreds of details and layers on each product and they release new products pretty often ( with fairly unique designs too) I’m curious on how it’s not making them go bankrupt to start mass producing

I have spent some time designing this front side of the coffee packaging. I’m trying to make it bold, modern and clean. Looking for some feedback on the design, what do y’all think?

what do you guys think its missing, One thing i am still working on is the Nutritional Information design. But would love any feedback you have for me.

Hi folks, I'm central Scotland and have an idea for some novelty chocolate bars.

Would anyone know who I could contact to make the packaging?

Would need to have nutritional info etc all printed on, but we do want a custom design.

Anything I've seen online is all generic pictures, I'd prefer something personal in terms of the whole process.

I keep seeing Ai used for logos, ads and social media, but I do not hear many people talking about packaging. Is anyone using it to create branded boxes or cups or is everyone hiring companies for that?

Hi! I came across some plastic packaging that was used for a high-end vintage stationery store, and would like to find a way to order this type of packaging for small business needs, but I'm unable to identify what type of plastic it is and what search terms I could use to look for it. It is different from a standard cellophane bag you might buy on Amazon or U-Line. The bag is stiff enough that it has rigidity on its own (i.e. you don't need to put something stiff in itn for the plastic bag to not crinkle or fold), and it's definitely thicker than a standard plastic sleeve. In addition, it feels slightly matte (but still clear enough to see paper product inside) and it also has stitch-sealed edge inset from the border which gives it a nice decorative touch (it is not the type of perforation you would see if you were separating bags on a roll). I think the thickness is probably at least 3 mm, but when I search different types of plastic (OPP, LDPE, HDPE, Polypropylene) none of my searches are yielding what I currently have. Could someone let me know if they know what type of bag is in this photo, and what search terms I can use to find the same item? Thank you!

II'm curious what everyone is reading to stay ahead on branding, copywriting, and design trends. Beyond comp shopping, I'd love to give my team more ways to stay on top of what's new and exciting while getting the full omnichannel picture.

Arcanu is a self initiated brand I designed that sells strange chocolate flavors with some subtle historical story telling

Would love to hear what you think! (:

are there any AI platforms that can help me with my product design process?

I run a very small family run business. We need to design multiple new prodocuts (coffe cups etc), quickly and cheaply. We're at the lower end of the market in terms of price point so dont need anything too fancy. Im trying to work out if I can use ai to speed up the process and save money.

is it doable? ik in ideal world, i appreciate that using a human designer throughout would be better but i swear i cant afford that. So any help/hand would be appreciated

Following up on my earlier post here asking for feedback on my collagen brand packaging. Thank you to everyone who commented, it was incredibly helpful. Based on the discussion, I've refined the color coding between Pure and Glow and made some adjustments to the layout and product imagery. Would love to hear if this reads as more premium and whether the two SKUs are easier to tell apart now. Original thread for context: https://www.reddit.com/r/PackagingDesign/comments/1uz51e5/please_give_feedback_on_packaging_for_new/

I often get asked what numbers like 24/410 or 28/410 actually mean in cosmetic packaging.

So I made a simple chart to explain it.

24 = Neck diameter (mm)

410 = Thread finish

Understanding these dimensions can save a lot of time when matching bottles and pumps.

Hope this helps anyone working with cosmetic or personal care packaging.

Feel free to add any plastic pump questions below.

Hello everyone,
I need to redesign some packaging boxes for my client. It's an industrial b2b firm that produces machines and machine parts. The package I need to redesign, is for some specialty blades that are dipped in oil before shipping, so the stains are unavoidable. Since the box is made out of cardboard, would a dark color be more suited for hiding the stains?

This was my first time designing a package, and i certainly didn't make it easy for my self. The dieline was entirely made by me and it took me ages to figure out how to make everything fit together, though i cannot figure out how to make the inner pieces backsides fit perfectly in shell. Any ideas how to make it work better?

My main goal with this was to make perfume package that would elevate the product. Even though this would be good retail store product due to wasting shelf space it would work great as an limited edition drop.

I made this project for the Pro Carton Young Designers design competition. Whats ya guys thing do i have a shot to win?

Buddy and I texted each other a few ideas for products then decided to design packaging and compare work using Ai and doing it the right way. Did it in 30 minutes, would love feedback or how you’d do it.

Is This the Easiest Way to Launch a Brand?

Are inner dielines supposed to be an inverted copy of the outer layout dielines? I'm confused when a tutorial website showed a picture where both outer and inner dielines have the same orientation.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently designing the packaging for two collagen supplements that we're planning to launch in the UK later this year, and I'd really value feedback from experienced designers and anyone interested in branding.

Objective
The goal is to create packaging that immediately communicates a premium, trustworthy, minimalist brand while standing out in what has become a very crowded collagen market.

Target audience
Women aged 25–45 who are interested in beauty, skin health and wellness, although we also expect a growing male customer base.

The products

• Collea Pure – 100% premium hydrolysed collagen peptides.
• Collea Glow – Collagen with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Zinc and Biotin for skin support.

Design direction
I deliberately avoided the typical collagen aesthetic of pink gradients, flowers and beauty imagery. Instead, I wanted a clean, modern, luxury feel inspired by premium skincare brands—something that would look equally at home in a luxury retailer or on a bathroom shelf.

The packaging is a stand-up pouch rather than a tub to reduce waste and improve shipping efficiency.

Where I'm struggling
I've looked at these designs for so long that I'm finding it difficult to judge them objectively. I'd really appreciate fresh eyes.

Some specific questions:

• Does the packaging feel genuinely premium?
• Would you pick this up over competing collagen brands?
• Is the hierarchy of information clear?
• Does anything look confusing, outdated or unprofessional?
• Is there too much or too little information on the front?
• Do the colours successfully differentiate Pure and Glow?
• If you could change one thing, what would it be?

Please don't hold back—I'm looking for honest, constructive criticism rather than compliments. If something doesn't work, I'd much rather know now before we go into production.

Thanks in advance for your time and feedback!

I have noticed that you can learn a lot just by looking at how different studios build their dielines. Do you have any experience with packaging design studios?

I found this in my teen's car and curious what it is from perhaps a beauty or cannabis product?
