Branding Review from Michelle Callanan
Axel Dench and Ryppl Branding has been instrumental in delivering our Global Brand Refresh recently. The thorough strategic direction was informed by Axel's research which showcased a deep understanding of us and our customers. This was no small feat due to our size and complex structure, and was down to Axel working extremely hard to understand the nuances of our business. The new brand architecture and structure has future-proofed us for our changing market. We are so proud of our refreshed brand identity, it works for our varied and global audiences which we couldn't have achieved without the strategic leadership from Ryppl.
Brand Strategy Review from Jeremy Newstead
Axel and the Ryppl team undertook a deep dive of our brand and internal values to create a new strategic and visual identity. From creating our brand images, logo, and brand voice, we have a new punchy look which we are proud of and can connect to. The journey was a collaborative one, but Axel and the team provided expert advice throughout to keep us on track and land in the right space. We are thrilled with where we have landed and the brand we have now created.
Brand Strategy Review from George Shuttlewood
At Back-Roads, we had a fairly unique challenge; we’d grown significantly, had incredible customer feedback scores, our awareness and key brand metrics were on the up and we had no shortage of impactful messaging to communicate. But... we lacked a unifying idea and proposition from which to drive the next phase of our growth. And that’s where Axel and Ryppl branding came in. Working collaboratively with the marketing team, our Exec team and other key stakeholders, Axel quickly got to grips with the category and our brand, then expertly guided us through a thorough a brand proposition process, to unearth and articulate our core essence and created a brand framework to build our brand around. The end result? A clear and inspiring brand proposition and framework that’s now been fully embedded across our business and is fully aligned with our key customer demographic; future-proofing our brand and giving us standout amongst our competitors. We could not be more pleased with the end result.

Working with Realise Design has been such a great experience.

A whole day was organised so I could stage photos and film of the design process... which was SO incredibly helpful for building on our brand. I couldn't recommend them enough! From the designs to branding, they followed through with making sure all our needs were met!

Valeria Kravchouk's Review Sourced from Google
Found Brand Agency has been so much more than just a service provider—they have been a true partner in every sense throughout our rebranding process and the launch of our new brand identity. As someone new to brand identity design—and transitioning from a completely different industry and role—I had countless questions and unknowns. Found not only met each challenge with professionalism and expertise but also demonstrated an exceptional ability to understand our firm at a deep level. Their thoughtful approach went beyond methodology and best practices; they anticipated our evolving needs, provided insightful recommendations, and guided us with care through every decision, even addressing out-of-scope concerns with unwavering dedication.Rebranding is an intricate and sometimes overwhelming journey, full of variables, but Found's commitment to truly knowing and supporting us made all the difference. They didn’t just deliver a brand identity; they nurtured a relationship, ensuring that every step aligned with our vision and set us up for long-term success. I am deeply grateful for their expertise, foresight, and genuine investment in our journey.
Austin Locke's Review Sourced from Google
When starting a new business, we needed someone that could help us find our unique voice in the market. We were entering a crowded space. We felt there was an opportunity in this market, but our brand itself had to be differentiated, the product alone wouldn't stand.Enter Found Brand Agency. They worked with us to tell our story and bring it to life. They helped us build the entire brand: logos, artwork, photography, messaging and website. It is one part of our company that we are most proud of.Found Brand has a collaborative style and a design process that makes you feel heard, but also enhances your ideas in ways you wouldn't have devised on your own. If you understand the importance of a brand and you're willing to invest in that part of your business, I would highly recommend Found Brand Agency as not just a transactional hire, but as a partner and adviser to help you succeed in the market.

Steven Alessandro's Review Sourced from Google
BRK Global Marketing and Jack Burke’s creative team absolutely exceeded my expectations.From the very beginning, BRK designed and built an original, standout brand for Devon Creek Landscaping that truly set us apart in the landscaping community. They created our logo and carried it seamlessly across everything—vehicle wraps, uniforms, brochures, social media frames, swag, digital and print advertising, and even our trade show booth.What really impressed me was the depth of strategy behind the creativity. BRK developed our brand voice, brand personality, and comprehensive brand guidelines, which became the foundation of our franchise marketing strategy system when we launched the brand. Everything was thoughtful, consistent, and built for long-term growth.Afterward, we had the pleasure of working with BRK again to design my personal Steven Alessandro brand as a thought leader and consultant for franchise owners and business leaders across the U.S. Once again, they hit the target.Jack and his team were incredibly responsive, listened closely to what I needed, and delivered an end result that was truly beyond my expectations. Their originality, attention to detail, and ability to translate vision into a powerful brand is unmatched.If you’re looking to stand out and build a brand that actually works—not just looks good—BRK Global Marketing is the team to trust.
Brian Gates's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve had the pleasure of working with BRK Global Marketing on multiple initiatives, starting with branding and a new logo for MRC over eighteen years ago, and now continuing with the RubberBond Elements brand and marketing strategy.What truly stands out is the longevity and consistency of strong deliverables that Jack and his team provide. Every project is approached with creativity, originality, and a clear strategic vision. BRK doesn’t just meet expectations—they consistently overdeliver.Their ability to evolve brands while maintaining clarity and impact has made them a trusted partner. I’m excited to continue working together and are already moving forward into 2026 with a new brand awareness strategy. Highly recommend BRK Global Marketing to any organization looking for creative excellence and dependable results.

We completely revamped our brand identity with Manuel and his team – from logo and corporate design to print media and trade fair booths (Hanover & Munich), all the way to our website and ongoing content creation. Their ideas are creative, but always driven by our positioning, not by the designer's personal taste.Especially with such a comprehensive project, well-thought-out strategic advice is invaluable, and that's exactly what we received. What was also important to us as the client was that deadlines were met, questions were addressed clearly, and the project was completed flawlessly. In our hectic daily work environment, we benefited enormously from having someone with perseverance and attention to detail on the other end – and that was certainly the case here. We highly recommend them.

At Chen Foods we’re all about Food with Heart – we love working with passionate people and the team at Edison really know how to get to the heart of complex brands. We found our Mr Chen's masterbrand project in 2022 super collaborative, and landed in a really great place with a more cohesive visual look and feel across all our categories and ranges, with rich story-telling that leverages our point of differentiation - which is family recipes and techniques crafted over a lifetime obsession with Asian flavours. I would whole-heartedly recommend the team at Edison for any brand needing to navigate a complex brand portfolio, and find a way to establish a memorable and emotional connection with consumers.

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.
