Built in Guwahati. Built for the world.

Packaging Design

Your packaging is your brand's first physical conversation.

We design packaging that stops people mid-shelf, communicates quality at a glance, and stays consistent with your brand — from local markets to international retail.

The Problem

Most packaging is designed to look good. The best is designed to sell.

Weak packaging costs you the sale before a single word is read. In a crowded shelf or a busy online listing, buyers make decisions in under three seconds. If your packaging doesn’t stop them, communicate quality, and build trust instantly — it is working against you.
What's Included

End-to-end packaging design, built around your brand.

Structural & Format Concepts

Box, pouch, label, bottle, sleeve — we advise on what format works best for your product and target market.

Label & Surface Design

Typography, illustration, colour, and layout crafted to turn heads and communicate value at a glance.

Print-Ready Artwork

Files prepared to exact printer specifications — bleed, crop marks, colour profiles — ready for production.

Material & Finish Guidance

Recommendations on paper stock, coatings, foils, and finishes that elevate perceived value within budget.

Brand Consistency

Every pack stays true to your visual identity — whether it is one SKU or an entire product range of fifty.

Variant & Range Design

Range extensions, flavour variants, and size families — all cohesive as a system, all distinct as individual packs.

Print & Production Add-on

We can print it too.

For clients who want a seamless experience from design to delivery, we offer end-to-end packaging production — handling print, finishing, and quality checks so you receive shelf-ready packaging without dealing with a separate agency.
How We Work

From brief to print-ready in four clear stages.

01. Brief & Research
We understand your product, your target buyer, your retail environment, and your competitors. We look at what is already on shelf and identify exactly where your opportunity lies
02. Concept Development
We explore directions for structure, visual language, and information hierarchy before committing to one path. You see the thinking, not just the output.
03. Design & Refinement
We build the full packaging design and refine through structured feedback rounds. Every detail — from font size to label placement — is considered and intentional.
04. Artwork & Handoff
Print-ready files delivered with full bleed, crop marks, and colour profiles — ready for your printer or, if you choose our print add-on, handled directly by us.
PACKAGING JOURNEY (1)
Why Sigma Design India

Why brands trust us with their packaging.

We understand FMCG

Most of our packaging work is for food, beverage, and lifestyle brands. We know retail environments, shelf dynamics, and what drives a buyer's hand to reach for a product.

We design for production

Beautiful design that cannot be printed is useless. Every file we deliver is production-ready, printer-tested, and built with real-world materials and constraints in mind.

We design for global shelves

Our packaging is built to travel — culturally appropriate, commercially strong, and visually competitive across Indian, Middle Eastern, European, and international retail markets.

FAQ

Common questions, honest answers.

What file formats do you deliver for packaging?
 
We deliver all files in print-ready formats including Adobe Illustrator (.AI), EPS, high-resolution PDF with bleed and crop marks, and JPEG/PNG for digital previews. All colour profiles are set to CMYK for print accuracy. If your printer requires a specific format or setup, we accommodate that.
 
Both. Our core service is packaging design, and we deliver print-ready artwork you can take to any printer of your choice. However, we also offer an optional print management add-on where we handle the entire production process — sourcing materials, managing print partners, reviewing press proofs, and coordinating delivery. This is especially useful for clients who want a single point of contact from design to delivery. Ask us about this when you get in touch and we will put together a combined quote.
 
Yes, and this is something we do regularly. We design packaging as a system — a visual language that holds together across multiple SKUs, flavours, sizes, and variants. Each pack is distinct enough to be identifiable on its own, and cohesive enough to be recognisable as part of the same family. Pricing for range design is based on the number of variants, so contact us with your full brief for an accurate quote.
 
Yes. We provide photorealistic 3D mockups of your packaging as part of the design process. These are essential for approvals, investor presentations, e-commerce listings, and social media content before your physical stock is ready. If you need additional rendered scenes or lifestyle mockups for specific platforms, we can produce those too.
 
Absolutely. We work with existing brand identities regularly. Before starting, we review your brand guidelines, logo files, and any existing packaging to ensure our work is consistent with what you have already established. If we identify any inconsistencies in your existing identity that could affect the packaging, we will flag them upfront.
 
A single packaging design — one product, one variant — typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from brief to final artwork. Range design with multiple SKUs takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on complexity. If print management is included, add 2 to 4 weeks for production depending on your quantities and chosen materials. We always provide a clear timeline before the project begins.
 
Yes. We have experience designing packaging for products sold across India, the Middle East, UK, Australia, and other international markets. We account for regulatory labelling requirements, language considerations, and cultural context when designing for export. If you are targeting a specific international market, let us know in your brief and we will factor that into the design and artwork process.
 
Single product packaging design starts from ₹9,000. Range design with multiple variants is quoted based on the number of SKUs and complexity. If you are adding print management, we provide a combined quote that covers both design and production. Contact us with your project brief and we will send a tailored proposal within 24 hours.
