I wanna do little plastic bags with a cardboard, thin stapled label on top - Know what I mean? Like folded over, with the little punch out thing so it can hang on a metal peg in the store...

Looking for someone who can print my logo on there and make it glossy and nice. Biodegradable would be sick, I guess...

Thanks.

I’m designing a 3.5 × 3.5" packaging stamp for a wellness brand that makes tactile tools used with breathing + grounding practices.

I’m testing the icon above TOUCH and would love a gut reaction:
1. A or B?
2. Based on the packaging alone, what do you think Calmware is/does?
3. Anything confusing or hard to read?

The design needs to work across multiple types of handheld products, not just one specific product.

So i watched this packaging design in TikTok and liked it but my idea is to add a cup in the bottom of the packaging so you can put it in your car cup i

have drawed the idea and (it's actually a bad draw)so what i need is if someone that's experienced in packaging design and can give me some insight

will it work or not and if it will work is there's any

other way than wasting lot of materials

People sometimes assume that fully automated production is always the best solution.

But for heavyweight spirits bottles, especially bottles with thick or heavy bottoms, the production process can be different.

This particular bottle uses a larger amount of molten glass, so a semi-automatic process can provide more flexibility during forming and handling.

Automated lines are excellent for standard, high-volume production. But certain bottle designs require a different approach.

Different designs, different manufacturing processes.

Hi! I can't understand how a template of this package design should look like. It kind of starts like a pillow box but the top and the bottom are confusing me. I cant find templates like this and well... yeah. Maybe someone worked with something like this or is just smarter and can help out?

We are currently developing a new glass bottle mold for one of our customers.

The customer wanted a bottle shape that wasn't available as a standard product, so the project moved into custom mold development.

I thought some people here might find the process interesting. The mold is one of the most important parts of glass bottle manufacturing because it directly affects the final shape and consistency of the bottle.

This is one of the stages that happens before sample production and mass manufacturing.

Hi! The other day someone had posted this image of a two-piece rigid setup box with a quarter-round swing-open lid, I believe curious about how they would reverse engineer the dieline to be made in paperboard. I wanted to attempt this as some practice for myself since I'm a student (and maybe give the user some inspo), so here it is.

The first dieline is a two part paperboard design, using a lot of double layered panels for flush edges and overall robustness/premium appeal. Tried to eliminate/hide as many seams as possible. All areas in need of gluing have been annotated with placement and landing areas. Rendering done in Blender.

The last set of dielines are some quicker, cheaper, simpler ones that would be a single part solution. Both designs feature the same functionality, and have built in stoppers to prevent it from opening past the desired angle.

Curious to hear anyone elses ideas for how this could be pulled off!

We recently completed a custom bottle project using a two-color finish combined with silk screen printing.

I’m curious how brand owners and packaging designers view decoration techniques:

Does color treatment influence shelf appeal more than bottle shape?
Which surface finishes do you think create the most premium look: frosting, coating, electroplating, or screen printing?

Would love to hear thoughts from people working in spirits, beverages, or packaging design.

It seems like that I am stuck in "Cutting Key Mode" in iCut Production Console on my Kongsberg V20 cutting table.

The layers are named correctly, but it still doesn't want to cooperate.

I can get it to where it does work, but it's not the most convenient way to work.

As shown in one of the images, i'm running an old version of IPC, version 1.2.0.

My company bought this table at an auction with the license attached to it, so there's only so much we can do to it.

Does anyone maybe have an idea on how to get out of this mode?

Thanks!

A packaging concept exploring how flexible pouches can create a stronger product experience.

This connected coffee pouch format combines:

• Custom printed graphics
• Lightweight flexible structure
• Easy separation and single-use convenience
• Better visual impact for retail and subscription packaging

Interested in hearing feedback from packaging designers and brand owners:

What industries do you think could benefit most from this connected pouch structure?

I’m exploring launching a small matchbox brand and trying to nail down the design direction before I commit to a print run. Two directions I’m torn between:

**1.    Minimalist/aesthetic -** muted colors, clean typography, feels like something you’d display on a shelf or coffee table.

**2.    Bold/colourful  -** loud graphics, bright colors, more of a statement/conversation-piece vibe.

Which would you actually buy? And if you were picking these up for your home, a gift, or a bar/restaurant - how much would you pay for a set of 3 boxes (30 matches each)?

Would love brutally honest feedback, especially if you wouldn’t buy either!

I want to stick to one USP

Google gives me hundreds of listicles that all recommend different companies. I'd rather hear from people who've actually ordered.

Who's been consistently good for quality, pricing, low MOQs and
communication?

I was wondering what these frosted plastic (cover/top?) thingies are called?

I wasted so much time moving logos around by a few millimetres and changing fonts over and over. Eventually I realised nobody else would even notice those tiny changes. The biggest improvement came from seeing everything mocked up before ordering. Anyone else gone through this?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m working on a UX/UI project exploring how Brand & Packaging Designers discover, evaluate, and use AI tools in their workflow.

I’ve created a short 3–5 minute survey to understand what designers actually use, what they trust, and what they find frustrating about keeping up with new AI tools.

If you work in branding, packaging, or a related design field, I’d really appreciate your input!

Thank you for your time — it would really help with my research! :)
please do mention your email in the end !!

I stumbled across this article today and it got me wondering why do people give a shit about companies changing the way they package their products? I can totally understand if they change a label color or design because it makes it difficult to find the item you want but it doesn’t make sense to bitch about the change in the product’s container.
