      Branding Review from Natalie Bergstrom

      Undergoing an entire organizational rebrand required a partner with expertise, experience and the ability to meet - and surpass - our expectations. Jacknife was the perfect fit. Extensive research was done learning about our brand, audience, and culture; the process made that much smoother with this due diligence. The final product was one that has resignated with our student demographic, increased engagement and is one we are extremely proud of. Thank you to the amazing Jacknife team!

      Amazing creative team that delivered to our multiple client request with grace. They managed to get us back on track, ensuring great design won in the end. Great collaborative effort with their designing team.We are Montreal based, they are Toronto based, and we made it work, thinking outside of our respective boxes.

      The Jacknife Team was incredible to work with on our latest corporate build. I am leaving out the name of the organization for confidentiality sake. The team was great with scheduling us to come on site, helping to put us in touch with the client for billing, and updates from the clients on design changes. They have a great team and would routinely set up Zoom calls to discuss any and all changes to the scope/schedule. Their design and build drawings were incredible and easy for my guys in the shop to follow making it a efficient a build as possible. Working with Jacknife was an absolute pleasure and made the project move smoothly for the both us as a contractor and the client! We have built a great relationship with the team and client since our collaborative work and I would highly recommend Jacknife to anyone looking for a hands on design firm that knows how to get things done! I would also like to give a HUGE shout out to our point of contact Mallory! She made our lives so much easier when we needed information from the client or other trades she always got in touch with the correct parties to keep the project moving along smoothly! I hope to get the opportunity to work with Jacknife Design again in the future and cannot wait for the future projects they invite us to work down the road!Dylan - Wooden Hearts - Owner

      I wanted Bradbury to create a logo for me for a new venture and a brand is so much more than a logo of course.Bradbury did extensive research of the industry, identified my target market and helped me understand and create my brand story, identity and message. They were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. They are experts at what they do but are also really lovely to work with in that they are open to a collaborative effort. I can’t recommend Bradbury enough. I trust them with my brand completely and feel confident that I can launch knowing that my brand is rich in substance and represents not only my product well but who I am and what I want to convey.

      Nena Hawkes's Review Sourced from Google

      Looking back on almost 30 years of socially engaged arts practice, we wanted something that reflected our innovative and forward thinking approach while respecting the strong roots and history of the organization. The team at Bradbury worked with us to find branding choices that spoke to both priorities, resulting in a new look that we are truly proud of. Catharine's joy and excitement is infectious, and she has the experience to back it up. Anyone who has the chance to work with Bradbury is fortunate indeed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do top packaging design agencies offer prototyping?

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:

  • Structural prototypes to test size, durability, and product fit
  • Printed mockups to review colors, typography, and branding
  • Material samples such as cardboard, glass, plastic, or sustainable options
  • Production-ready samples that match the final manufacturing specs

Prototyping confirms that the packaging protects the product, looks correct on the shelf, and meets supplier requirements before full production begins.

How much do packaging design firms charge for their services?

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: 

  • Basic packaging: $5,000 to $20,000
  • Standard packaging systems: $20,000 to $100,000 
  • Complex or luxury packaging: $100,000 to $250,000+

Hourly rates:

  • Agencies: $100-$200 per hour
  • Freelancers: $25-$45 per hour

Costs increase with custom structures, compliance requirements, premium materials, and multiple SKUs. 

Are there any hidden fees?

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:

  • Print prepress and proofs: Preparing files for press and checking color accuracy
  • Material tests and samples: Checking substrates, coatings, finishes
  • Dieline engineering: Structural tweaks for fit and machinery
  • Compliance/legal labeling changes: Extra cost if new markets or rules apply
  • Revisions beyond contract scope: Extra charge if the brief wasn’t clear
  • Freight/storage for prototypes: Physical sample handling fees

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.

What is the timeline for completion?

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:

  • Simple project (one SKU): 4 to 8 weeks
  • Multiple SKUs or variants: 6 to 12 weeks
  • Complex or regulated packaging: 8 to 16+ weeks
  • Full product launch with prototypes: 3 to 4+ months

Time increases due to:

  • Design revisions and stakeholder approvals
  • Prototype creation and testing
  • Dieline and manufacturer approvals
  • Compliance and legal checks

Packaging is tied to manufacturing, so production steps often take longer than the design itself.

Do packaging design agencies collaborate with manufacturers?

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: 

  • Create and approve dielines that match production machines
  • Confirm materials and finishes will print and perform correctly
  • Review print proofs and color accuracy before mass production
  • Coordinate prototypes and production samples
  • Resolve technical constraints like folding, sealing, or labeling

This collaboration ensures the final packaging works in real manufacturing conditions, not just on screen.
