What the Proposal Should Define
- Packaging formats, dimensions and approved dielines
- Master design and the number of SKU adaptations
- Concept presentation and revision stages
- Languages, copy status and client approval responsibilities
- Final artwork and editable source-file delivery
- Optional 3D visualization and ecommerce images
What Is Usually Outside the Design Scope?
Design development, materials, tooling, structural engineering, laboratory tests and regulatory approval are normally separate unless specifically included. The proposal should identify these boundaries instead of leaving them to assumption.
From Brief to Proposal
Share the product, packaging format, SKU list, target market and available technical files. We review the inputs and prepare a written scope. For the factors that affect the commercial estimate, see packaging design cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information is needed for a packaging design quote?
Provide the product, pack format, dimensions or dieline, SKU count, target market, sales channel, required languages and expected deliverables.
What files can be included in delivery?
Depending on scope, delivery can include editable artwork, final PDF files, linked assets, dieline references and approved 3D mockups.
Are revisions unlimited?
Revision terms should be stated in the proposal. Defined review rounds keep the schedule and responsibilities clear for both sides.
Are regulatory approvals part of design?
No legal approval is implied. The client and its regulatory or production specialists must approve mandatory copy, claims, barcodes and market requirements.
