Design Process:

We kicked off the project with a detailed call where the client shared their brand essence, product line, visual identity, packaging requirements, and color direction. I started with rapid sketching and ideation, exploring bottle silhouettes, cap concepts, label layouts, and box structures. After presenting initial options, the client chose a direction, and we collaborated through daily refinements to perfect proportions, typography, and custom gradients until the designs perfectly matched their vision. I sourced bottles for prototyping and provided material recommendations for labels and boxes. Using the selected bottle dimensions, I calculated precise box sizes and created accurate die lines for both exterior and interior panels. I then applied custom textured gradients and all brand assets to bring the packaging to life. For presentation, I built the exact bottle forms in Adobe Illustrator and created realistic 3D renders in Adobe Dimension, complete with custom caps and labels. To meet the tight timeline, I used Pacdora for efficient box layouts and combined the scenes in Photoshop. Finally, I produced printed prototypes to verify scaling and delivered production-ready die line files for the client to manufacture their samples.

Results: 

In just one week I delivered complete, production-ready packaging assets that present the collection as polished and professional. These assets include refined designs for caps, bottles, labels, and boxes, accurate die lines, high-quality 3D renders, and physical prototypes. The system maintains the brand’s required minimal typography and generous white space while using color and texture exactly as specified, giving the client strong visual materials to support their funding pitch.
