For brands with a steady flow of design work.

Quoted per brand

Ongoing packaging & Amazon design

If you launch new SKUs, refresh listings or roll out seasonal packaging every month, a retainer keeps the same designer on your brand without a new brief and quote each time. Scope and price are agreed with each brand based on the volume and mix of work.

  • New SKUs on your existing packaging system
  • Label, pouch and carton updates for your printer
  • Amazon listing images and A+ for new products
  • 3D renders for launches and listings

How payment works

Simple and the same on every project.

  1. Fixed quoteSend your brief and you’ll get a fixed price, the deliverables and the revision rounds in writing, usually the same day. Custom quotes are available for anything not listed.
  2. 50% upfrontWork begins once the 50% upfront payment is made. It reserves your slot and covers research and concepts.
  3. Balance on approvalThe remaining 50% is due when you approve the design, before the final print-ready and source files are delivered.

Included in every project

  • Press-ready PDFs on your printer’s dieline
  • Editable Adobe Illustrator source files, fonts outlined and images linked
  • PNG or JPG previews for approvals
  • Files checked against your printer’s specifications before handover
  • Revision rounds stated up front in your quote
  • Full ownership of the final artwork once the project is paid

What changes the price

  • Packaging type and number of panels or parts
  • Whether you have a dieline or need one drawn
  • Number of SKUs and variants
  • Amount of copy: facts panels, claims, ingredients
  • Finishes such as foil, emboss, spot UV or white ink
  • 3D renders and Amazon assets from the same artwork

Pricing questions

How much does packaging design cost?

Product labels are $150–180, stand-up pouches and Mylar bags $200–250, and cartons, mailers and display boxes $250–350. Rigid, magnetic and structural packaging is quoted after reviewing your requirements, and custom quotes are available for anything else.

How much do Amazon listing images and A+ Content cost?

A 7-image listing package is $350. Basic A+ Content (EBC) with 7 modules is $400, and Premium A+ Content with a continuous-flow design is $450. Amazon Storefronts are quoted per store.

Why are rigid and structural projects quoted separately?

Rigid, magnetic and structural packaging vary too much from one product to the next for a single price: box style, panels, inserts and finishes all change the work. You get a fixed quote after I review your requirements, before any work starts.

How does payment work?

50% is paid upfront to start the project. The balance is due on approval, before the final print-ready and source files are delivered.

How many revisions are included?

Every quote states the revision rounds up front. Most packaging projects are approved within two or three rounds, because the concept and dieline are agreed before detailed artwork starts.

Do you offer a monthly retainer?

Yes, for brands with ongoing packaging and Amazon design work. Retainers are quoted per brand based on the volume and mix of work.

Does the price include printing?

No. I design and prepare the print files, then work with your printer or manufacturer on specs, proofs and any file corrections they request.

Who owns the final design?

You do. Once the project is paid, the final artwork and source files are yours to print and use. NDAs are fine for unreleased products.

Send the product, sizes, SKU count and launch date, and your printer’s dieline if you have one. You’ll get a fixed quote, usually the same day.
