Best for
Product launches, ranges and brands moving into print
Packaging and printpeople want to pick up.
We design packaging, labels, stationery and printed pieces that look right on the shelf and in the hand, with print-ready files your printer can use straight away.
On a shelf, a product has a few seconds to be noticed and understood. Packaging that looks like everything around it, or hides the important information, is easy to walk past.
Print adds its own risks: a wrong dieline, missing bleed or colours that shift on press can delay a launch and waste a full print run.
We start with where the product is sold and who picks it up, then design a pack that stands out in that setting and makes the key information easy to find.
Every design is built on the printer's dieline and checked before it goes to press: bleed, colour, fonts and finishes, so what arrives matches what you approved.

Questions
Packaging and print, answered.
Something else on your mind? Write to hello@scalocreative.com
Yes. Send us the dieline from your printer or packaging supplier and we design directly on it. If you do not have a supplier yet, we can suggest common formats and the questions to ask.
We prepare the print-ready files and can talk to your printer about stock, finishes and proofs. The print order itself stays with you, so you keep control of cost and supplier.
Yes. We design a system with shared elements and clear differences, such as colour or pattern by flavour or size, so new products slot in easily later.
We show every route on realistic 3D mock-ups and recommend a printed proof before the full run, so you can check colour and finish in your hands.
Most projects take three to five weeks from brief to print-ready files. A single label can be quicker, and a large range with several formats can take longer. You get a clear timeline with your quote.
Print-ready PDFs on the final dielines, the open design files, and flat and mock-up images for your website, online shop and social media.
