CPG Branding & Packaging | Beauty & Wellness | Print-Ready + 3D Mockup
I help beauty, wellness, and premium CPG brands move from concept to production with confidence, minimizing costly production mistakes, supplier back-and-forth, and surprises at print. Most early-stage brands struggle with unclear dielines from manufacturers; colors and finishes that don’t match expectations, designs that look great on screen but fail in real life, and delays caused by production revisions. My process solves this before you invest in manufacturing. Every project I work on is tested in 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲-𝘁𝗼-𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝟯𝗗 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲, so you can review proportions, materials, finishes, and shelf presence as if the product already exists. You’ll know exactly what you’re sending to print - and how it will look in real life and online. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿: - Packaging & label design (production-ready) - Dieline setup or refinement from manufacturer specs - Photorealistic 3D for decision-making, marketing, and investor use - Material and finish planning (foil, emboss, coatings, etc.) - Brand identity and visual systems for product lines - Free support during your first print submission to ensure a smooth production handoff Layouts are structured to meet common FDA and international labeling requirements and prepared for smooth regulatory review. 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 founders and small teams who are preparing for their first production run, need packaging that can compete at retail or online, and want a partner who understands both design and manufacturing realities. 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: beauty, skincare, wellness, supplements, functional foods & beverages. If you’re preparing to launch or scale and want packaging that looks premium and works in production, I’d love to hear about your product. - Kate ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ brand identity design, logo design, packaging design, cosmetic packaging, skincare packaging, wellness brand design, luxury brand design, consumer packaged goods design, CPG branding, 3D product visualization, photorealistic mockups, packaging mockups, product renderings, packaging dielines, print-ready packaging, FDA compliant labels, EU compliant labels, beauty branding, fragrance packaging, supplement packaging, gourmet food packaging, premium packaging design, high-end packaging, lifestyle branding, brand guidelines, brand book, typography systems, color palettes, retail packaging, ecommerce packaging, art direction, creative direction, marketing collateral, brochure design, social media design, investor deck visuals, luxury hospitality branding, cosmetic jar design, dropper bottle packaging, tube packaging, carton design, foil stamping, embossing, spot UV, varnish finishes, cosmetic packaging expert, protein bar packaging, fiber cookie packaging, tea, print production support, dieline setup, print-ready, healthy snack, product label design
