Creative Services Review from Erika Respress
Working with The 95 Agency for the 2024 Bronner Bros Beauty Show was a game changer for us. As a 77-year-old brand that has been a cornerstone in the beauty industry, we needed a partner who could bring fresh, innovative ideas while staying true to our legacy. The 95 Agency did exactly that.From the start, they provided full-service support, handling everything from creative direction to digital marketing, and they executed our vision flawlessly. Their team expertly managed our brand presence, ensuring that our participation in the 2024 Beauty Show was impactful and resonated with both existing and new audiences. They not only captured the essence of our brand but also helped us highlight our product line in a way that generated excitement and engagement.The 95 Agencys marketing strategies were spot-on, leveraging social media, influencer partnerships, and event activations to build buzz before, during, and after the event. Their creative direction for the booth design and all event materials made us stand out, and their digital campaign gave our product line the exposure it deserved.We couldnt be more pleased with the results. The 95 Agencys professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail helped us take Bronner Bros to new heights. We look forward to continuing our partnership and growing our brand even further.

Sabrina Goodrum's Review Sourced from Google
The absolute BEST team to work with on anything!! Let me tell you, we have been working with so many companies for our new business but Davel has been the best and the most helpful team ever!! I mostly want to highlight Marie Poghosyan and Hovhannes Simonyan! Marie has listened to all our needs with such great care. She has been available with all questions! And she has offered incredible support and advice! Hov has been very kind and generous with working with our needs and budget! He cares and it shows. Thank you all so much! You’re the best!!
Joseph Seif's Review Sourced from Google
I've had the pleasure of working with Davel now for the last 3-4 months. I've got to say, honestly, my wife and I have been nothing short of amazed. We opened out medspa almost 1.5 years ago, and for the first year or so were working with a couple different marketing companies that were taking a lot of money with very minimal delivery of tangible help leading to lead acquisition etc. I was reached out to by Marie from Davel and figured I'd give it a shot since I wasn't very happy with the current marketing situation I had. Her and Hov did the intro call with me and I just felt a sense of comfort with them. I felt like there was a degree of honesty/transparency that came across which I hadn't previously experienced in this space. They gave me a good price to trial their services month by month to start. From the very first month we have honestly been extremely impressed. They always have a plan laid out for the month, whether it's for social media content they'll be posting, or video scripts for in person shoots etc. The in-person shooting team who we've now hosted 3 times is phenomenal: Elen (creative mastemind), Gagik (master camera-man), and Marie always prepared with her on-point scripts that combine education with comic relief. Since contracting with them, I've had friends and family regularly stop me and say "whatever you did to your marketing recently, don't change it!" With Davel's help and ideas/creativity, our instagram has truly experienced a facelift, and our business has really started to pick up with calls, bookings etc (and it's only been a couple months). If you're curious as to the "lift" they gave our IG, check out @sm_drip_medspa. I would hands down recommend Davel to anyone looking to grow their business from a marketing/social medial presence aspect. Probably one of the best business decisions I've made.

I worked with Davel over a span of three months on my organizations Annual Report. They were extremely communicative and responsive to all of our needs and adjustments. I definitely recommend working with them if you have a dynamic project that may change or iterate as it is being created. Davel is flexible, kind, and very talented. They also have a team that will accommodate your needs.

Edel Dahir's Review Sourced from Google
I'm writing this review on behalf of Zainab Sweets. This review is honestly long overdue, as my family and I have felt we owe much of our company’s newfound success to Creatica Studios. The team, beginning with Shahid, have been nothing but passionate, creative and attentive to all of our needs over the years.Our family business started as a small, humble, mom-and-pop operation with big dreams but limited reach. We poured our hearts into our halwa, but we needed guidance when it came to marketing, branding, and building an online presence. That’s when we found Creatica Studios — and we’re incredibly grateful that we did.Shahid and the entire team at Creatica Studios have gone above and beyond to understand our values, vision, and product. They took the time to learn who we are, what makes our halwa special, and how to communicate that to the world. Creatica Studios handled everything from packaging design to building our website, and the results have been nothing short of phenomenal. The packaging is not only beautiful but also captures the essence of our brand in a way we never could have imagined. Our website now feels professional, intuitive, and customer-friendly.Most importantly, since working with Creatica Studios, we’ve seen a clear increase in product consumption and a significant expansion in customer reach, especially in Western Canada. Shahid’s team is creative, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. If you’re a small business looking to grow, evolve, and truly connect with your audience, we wholeheartedly recommend Creatica Studios. They helped elevate our business — and we’re excited for what comes next!

Packaging design follows a structured process that moves from strategy to production-ready files. The goal is to create packaging that sells the product and works in manufacturing without errors.
A packaging design agency starts by understanding your product, target customer, price point, and competitors. This defines how the packaging should look and what it must communicate.
The strategy stage includes:
Without this step, the design may look good but fail commercially.
Designers create multiple visual directions to explore different ideas before choosing one.
Concept development usually includes:
You review concepts and select one for refinement.
If the packaging shape is customized, a packaging design company creates the structural template that production will use.
The structural design phase defines:
This ensures the packaging works with your manufacturer.
The agency produces physical samples, so you can test the packaging before mass production.
The prototyping and testing phase helps verify:
Changes happen here before final approval.
Once approved, the agency prepares technical files for manufacturing.
In this phase, they deliver to manufacturers:
Manufacturers use these files to produce your packaging at a scale.
Many packaging design companies stay involved during printing to prevent errors.
They may:
Their involvement in this phase protects quality and prevents costly mistakes.
Custom packaging design companies handle both the visual design and the technical preparation needed for manufacturing. They ensure your packaging attracts buyers, protects the product, and works in real production.
Work begins by defining how the product should compete on the shelf and how packaging supports sales, positioning, and compliance. Decisions made here affect every downstream design and production step. A strong strategy prevents redesigns later.
Core activities include:
A clear strategic direction ensures packaging communicates the right value and appeals to the intended buyer.
Focus then shifts to creating the graphics customers see and interact with. Designers translate brand identity into packaging that attracts attention and communicates key information quickly.
Typical deliverables include:
Professional visual design improves perceived product value and increases purchase likelihood.
Physical structure determines how the packaging functions, protects the product, and runs on production lines. Agencies engineer layouts that manufacturers can produce reliably.
Technical work includes:
Accurate structural planning prevents manufacturing failures and product damage.
Physical samples allow teams to evaluate packaging before committing to full production. Testing reveals problems that digital files cannot show.
Prototyping services include:
Early testing reduces the risk of expensive production errors.
Manufacturers require highly precise technical files. Agencies prepare and verify these assets so that packaging prints correctly and meets technical standards.
Production preparation includes:
Proper preparation ensures packaging looks correct and moves smoothly into production.
Brands with multiple products need packaging that stays consistent while allowing variations. Packaging design companies build scalable systems that support growth.
System development includes:
Structured systems reduce future design costs and maintain brand consistency across product lines.
In 2026, packaging design plays a direct role in sales, pricing, and customer loyalty. It affects whether people notice your product, trust it, and choose it over competitors.
Key benefits that the best packaging design agency can provide are:
Packaging often determines whether a customer buys your product or ignores it. People use packaging to judge quality, value, and trust.
Packaging helps customers remember your product and recognize it later. Consistent and clear packaging builds trust over time.
Better packaging allows companies to charge higher prices because customers see the product as more valuable.
Sustainable packaging directly affects buying decisions and brand switching.
Packaging design affects shipping cost, storage, and logistics efficiency.
Packaging problems become expensive only after printing starts, when changes require reprints, production delays, or product recalls. Many agencies focus on visuals but lack technical and manufacturing depth. These red flags signal risk that can lead to operational and financial damage later.
Choosing the right packaging partner affects product launch speed, production cost, and shelf performance. Asking the right questions reveals whether the packaging design firm has the technical ability and process discipline required for your product.

Yes. Top packaging design companies usually offer prototyping to test structure, materials, and visual design before mass production. This step prevents costly production errors and ensures the packaging works in real conditions.
Most agencies provide:
Prototyping confirms that the packaging protects the product, looks correct on the shelf, and meets supplier requirements before full production begins.
Packaging design usually costs $5,000 to $100,000+, depending on complexity, number of products, and partner type. Simple packaging is on the low end. Regulated, luxury, or multi–Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) packaging is on the high end.
Typical ranges based on DesignRush data:
Hourly rates:
Costs increase with custom structures, compliance requirements, premium materials, and multiple SKUs.
Yes. Packaging design projects often have costs that don’t show up in the initial quote. These hidden fees usually come from real-world production realities, not creative work.
Common extra costs:
These fees happen because packaging must work with production equipment, materials, and regulations. Always define the scope and ask for a production-ready cost estimate up front.
A packaging design project usually takes 4 to 8 weeks for simple packaging and 2 to 4+ months for complex launches. Timeline depends on the number of SKUs, revisions, and production requirements.
Typical timeline ranges:
Time increases due to:
Packaging is tied to manufacturing, so production steps often take longer than the design itself.
Yes. Packaging design firms regularly collaborate with manufacturers to ensure packaging is produced correctly and efficiently. Their collaboration prevents production errors, delays, and costly reprints.
Packaging design companies typically work with manufacturers to:
This collaboration ensures the final packaging works in real manufacturing conditions, not just on screen.
