Three seconds. That’s how long your packaging has to make someone stop, look and reach.

Packaging design at Envy starts at $7,500 for a single SKU. Multi-SKU projects are quoted individually, based on the number of SKUs and variations. Fill out our project form for a clear, itemized quote.

Several things shape the cost of packaging design: how many products, flavours or sizes you need, whether the pack is a box, bag, label or something more unusual, bilingual requirements, and whether you also need brand identity work before packaging begins. A product range designed as one system is usually more efficient than designing each pack separately. We'll talk through your products, retail plans and timeline, then send a quote that shows exactly what's included. Printing and production are separate costs from design.

Yes. We take the dieline from your manufacturer and design every panel to fit it.

The dieline is the flat template that shows your package's exact shape, folds, cuts, glue areas and safe zones. Working from your manufacturer's version ensures the finished design fits the real package, not just a mockup. We plan each panel for how it will be seen on shelf, including the front, sides, top and back, and make sure important details don't land on a fold or seam. If your manufacturer hasn't provided a dieline yet, we'll help you ask for the right information so packaging design can start on solid ground.

Yes. We prepare files to your printer's specifications and talk directly with your manufacturer and printer so everything lands as designed.

Packaging production has plenty of technical details: colour profiles, special inks, varnishes, foils, material types and printing methods that differ from one supplier to the next. Talking directly with your manufacturer and printer helps catch issues early, before they turn into costly reprints. We'll confirm specifications, answer technical questions and review proofs with you. You stay in the loop and approve every key decision, but you don't have to translate design questions back and forth. It's one of the most practical parts of our packaging design service.

You supply the regulatory content, like nutrition panels, legal copy and barcodes, and we design it into the pack.

Regulatory content is your responsibility because it depends on your product, ingredients, claims and the markets you sell in, and it often requires input from a food scientist, regulatory consultant or your manufacturer. Once you provide the approved information, we lay it out clearly and accurately, following the format you supply and making sure it fits within the space available. We plan room for it from the start so it doesn't feel squeezed in at the end. If anything looks unclear or incomplete, we'll flag it for you to confirm.

Yes. Our Brickhouse Smokery packaging, for example, carries English and French on every bag.

Bilingual packaging design in Canada takes careful planning, because you're fitting two languages into the same space without making the pack feel cluttered. French text often runs longer than English, so we design layouts with room for both and give each language equal care. We think about hierarchy, so shoppers can find the product name, flavour and key details quickly in either language. You provide approved translations and regulatory content, and we design it all into a pack that still looks clean, appetizing and on brand.

Yes. We design one system so every flavour, size and SKU looks like part of the same family.

A packaging system makes your whole range recognizable on shelf while still letting shoppers tell products apart quickly. We define what stays consistent, like your logo placement, typography and layout, and what changes from product to product, such as colour, illustration or photography. That makes it easier to add new flavours or sizes later without redesigning from scratch. A strong system also creates a bigger brand presence when several products sit side by side, which helps your range stand out in a busy aisle.

No. If your brand is already in place, we work within it. If it isn't, we'll help you get there first.

Packaging is often the first place customers meet your brand, so it needs a solid foundation: a logo, colours, typography and a clear sense of personality. If you already have that, we'll design packaging that fits and extends it. If you're starting from scratch, we'll recommend building the brand identity first, often as part of the same project, so your packaging and brand develop together. That approach saves time later, because your website, social media and sales materials can all draw from the same system.
