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

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.
