Packaging is advertising you don't pay media for. It works every time someone walks down an aisle, scans a shelf, or scrolls a product listing. I design packaging that answers the shelf question fast: what is this, who is it for, and why this one.
Boxes, cartons, pouches, bottle labels, tube designs, sachets, blister packs — the primary packaging that contains and presents your product.
When the container is standard but the label is yours — bottles, jars, tins, tubes. Front and back panels designed for curved surfaces and small dimensions.
A range of products that needs to look connected. Shared visual language that differentiates between variants, sizes, or product lines.
When the packaging is part of the product experience — premium boxes, special editions, gift sets. Designed to feel like an occasion.
See the design on shelf before production commits. I build the 3D renders myself — integrated into the design process, not bolted on at the end.
Understand the product, the buyer, the shelf environment, the competition, the price point.
Two to three initial directions — different approaches to the brief. We discuss, choose, develop.
Fine-tuning the design, tested in 3D renders where needed, adjusted until it is right.
Print-ready artwork in correct specifications, with guidance on production and supplier liaison if needed.
Creative insights, an eye for detail, quality execution, broader perspective and timely deliveries. That's what you can expect from Nabina.
Whether you're launching your first product or refreshing a range, I think about your packaging as a commercial tool — not just a design exercise. It needs to earn attention on the shelf and hold up through production. I can guide you from concept to print-ready artwork.
Packaging projects that need overflow capacity or senior-level thinking — I fit into your process, work to your specifications, and deliver client-ready artwork. White-label as standard. The 3D visualisation capability makes client presentations more compelling and reduces ambiguity at approval.
Not necessarily. I can work with your packaging supplier to source specifications, or develop the dieline as part of the project. If you have them, they speed things up — but they're not a prerequisite.
Yes — and this is where the work gets easier. When I handle both, copy and layout develop together. Headlines are written to fit the visual hierarchy; the design is built around what needs to be said. Fewer rounds, fewer compromises.
You see the finished package on a shelf before anything goes to print. Useful for internal sign-off, retailer presentations, and e-commerce imagery — and the renders update as the design does, so you are always looking at the current version.
Tell me about what you're launching — or refreshing. I'll come back with how I'd approach it.
