Mueen Studio
Who you'll be working with
Mueen Studio is one designer, not an agency with account managers. When you send a brief, I read it, I quote it and I design it. You talk to the person who opens your dieline, and nobody passes your project to a junior designer you've never met.
I studied Visual Arts at the University of the Punjab in Lahore (BFA and MFA). Then I spent four years as the in-house packaging designer at a cosmetics manufacturer: cartons, labels and press checks on the factory floor. That job taught me what most packaging problems really are. They're rarely about taste. They're a barcode that won't scan, a claim the regulator queries, a fold that cracks the varnish, or text that drops below the minimum size when the label wraps around a jar.
I started Mueen Studio in 2023, when I began freelancing on Upwork. Since then I've delivered 260+ packaging and label projects through Upwork (500+ in total), where I hold Top Rated Plus status and a 100% Job Success score. Clients can only leave a review there after a paid contract, and the current average is 4.98 from 142 reviews.
What the studio designs
- Product labels for bottles, jars, cans, tubes and tins, including supplement facts and nutrition panels. Label design
- Stand-up pouches, Mylar bags and sachets on your converter's template. Pouch design
- Cartons, mailers and display boxes for retail and e-commerce. Box design
- Rigid and magnetic boxes with inserts, foil and emboss. Rigid boxes
- Structural packaging and dielines drawn to your product's dimensions. Structural design
- 3D renders for approvals, pre-launch and crowdfunding.
- Amazon listing images, A+ Content and Brand Stores built from the same artwork as the pack. Listing images, A+ Content, Storefronts
The studio doesn't print. I prepare the print files and work with your printer or manufacturer on specs, proofs and any corrections they ask for.
How a project runs
- Discovery. You share the product, sizes, SKU count, launch date and your printer's dieline if you have one. I look at your shelf or category and your competitors.
- Fixed quote. You get a fixed price, the deliverables and the number of revision rounds in writing, within 24 hours. 50% upfront starts the work, and the balance is due when you approve the design.
- Concepts. Several design directions, so you can choose quickly.
- Structure and design. Dieline, inserts, hierarchy and required text are planned together, so nothing gets squeezed in at the end.
- Production files. Press-ready PDFs on the dieline, checked against your printer's specifications before handover, plus editable Illustrator source files.
- Launch assets. 3D renders, Amazon images and A+ Content made from the final pack, if you need them.
A single label or pouch usually takes 3 to 7 days including revisions. Box structures and multi-SKU ranges typically take 1 to 3 weeks, depending on approvals and printer feedback. Once the project is paid, you own the final artwork and source files. NDAs are fine for unreleased products.

Most clients are product brands in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and the UAE, with others in Europe. The work covers supplements, food and beverage, personal care and cosmetics, pet products and premium gifting.
