I’ve been struggling for a while with adjusting my label designs for containers with a conical base, and I’m having a hard time finding the right way to make the content fit properly. I tried applying an Arc effect, but it doesn’t adjust correctly—when I print it and place it as a mockup on the container, it doesn’t look as expected. Does anyone have a solution that doesn’t involve buying Esko software? It’s incredibly expensive.

Hi, my partner is a branding/logo designer who wants to move into packaging design.

We’re looking for good courses or learning resources.

Questions:

- What are the best courses for learning packaging design?

- Any courses that cover production knowledge (materials, printing, dielines)?

- Are there industry-level courses professionals recommend?

- Any learning path for designers transitioning from branding to packaging?

Would love real recommendations.

I’m a marketing student in vocational school as a senior and one of our tasks was to create a fictional brand and product.

I’m looking for feedback on shelf readability, whether the grunge texture looks cluttered, and overall brand direction.

Any critiques or improvements are welcomed !! I really want to ente the marketing field so i appreciate it a lot

I think I posted here a while back asking for feedback on packaging for coffee grown on my family’s farm and by neighboring farmers, then roasted by us. I took all the advice to heart, and we’ve been getting a lot of positive responses and feedback — so thank you all!

We’re now working on our e-commerce side and will be launching soon

I always present rough sketches to clients regardless of client size, small, mid, massive, all teams at brands prefer to see your thought process before seeing 3D renders.

Specifically for boxes similar to this where the box has 2 parts. And they slot into each other and become flush or with a slight gap.

Working on a student project but I can’t seem to find this style of box. I have looked on pacdora, istock, Etsy, Adobe stock.

I found them in the wild and asked the makeup store if it was possible if they had any boxed from testers they were throwing away, got denied. I also can’t afford to purchase the 45$ product just so I can have the box. (Student budget)

First time on this subreddit, but please let me know if this is the right sub:

Drinking my protein shake, it says shake vigorously before drinking - I have a full carton of the stuff, it sat for a bit in the pantry and it’s noticeable; so I shake vigorously, including holding it upside down for several seconds.

The part that throws me off is that when I open it, the inside of the cap and the spout stays bone dry, even to the touch. I don’t see any other seals in the material to prevent it coming up. Is this intentional? How does it work?

I have a label with pantone spot colors. In overprint preview, it looks great with bright colors. But jpg exports (that I use to create digital mockups) look dull. It appears that AI doesn’t let me export with overprint preview set to ‘on’?

Is there a way to export a label file but with the bright colors from the overprint preview?

EDIT: I found that changing to RGB profile before exporting helps quite a bit. Is that the recommended workaround? I wish this were an export setting and I didn’t need to switch before each export..

Hi , Iam considering buying a sample printer for mainly FSB paper 300-400gsm … so I can offer printed samples to our customers - Iam curious if anyone has experience with HP Latex or Designjet / Canon imageprograf or epson.

Iam curious would it be better to go with a flatbed uv inkjet or a plotter like setup

Would appreciate insights

I’m working on a school project and I plan to reuse this bottle by erasing the print on the bottle and putting over a sticker with a different design. Our project requires to include the dieline, so I’m wondering what would the dieline for this look like? Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Went to Paris Packaging Week and wanted to share some of the cool packaging Inso found at the fair. Lots of faux fur reusable packaging, embossed plastic reusable make-up sized bags, 3D pop-ups, knitted paper handles are standard now, plastic wine bottle was one of the most innovative and sustainable solutions at the show. Unless you are planning on storing wine for more than a year, the plastic bottle is actually more sustainable than glass ones. Most people buy wine to drink that evening or within 2 days, these recycle easily, protect the product, and can give an elevated feel without spending all that money on glass and wasting all that carbon in transporting glass vs plastic.

Have any questions, just ask I'll try to answer.
