Packaging Design in Derry
Retail and shipping packaging for Derry producers, designed on the real dieline so panels, folds and glue tabs all land correctly. Packaging carries legal obligations that a poster does not — food, cosmetics and anything sold to consumers have information that must appear, at minimum sizes.
Why this comes up
The problem
Packaging gets designed as a flat visual and only meets the dieline at artwork stage, by which point the ingredients panel has nowhere legal to sit and the barcode is across a fold.
What you get
What we deliver
- Design built on the manufacturer's dieline for the exact structure and material
- Mandatory information laid out to the legal requirements for your product category
- Barcode placed and sized to scan reliably, clear of folds and curves
- Shelf impact considered at real distance, alongside detail that rewards picking it up
- Print process accounted for — flexo, litho and digital hold detail differently
- Production artwork supplied to your converter, with a printed proof reviewed before the run

Packaging Design in Derry — common questions
- What has to appear on food packaging by law?
- Under UK rules that includes the name, ingredients with allergens emphasised, quantity, durability date, storage, business name and address, country of origin where required, and nutrition. Minimum type sizes apply. We lay it out correctly, but the content should be checked by someone qualified in food law.
- Can you work with our existing packaging supplier?
- Yes, and we would rather. They supply the dieline and print specification, we design to it. Designing without the dieline is how artwork ends up needing rework at the converter.
- Will the colours match our brand exactly?
- On flexo and digital, close but not exact — substrate affects colour considerably, and printing on kraft board is nothing like printing on coated stock. Where an exact match matters, spot colours are the answer and they cost more.
- Do we need different designs for retail and ecommerce?
- Often. Retail packaging competes on a shelf; ecommerce packaging arrives already bought and does a different job — protection, unboxing, and not advertising expensive contents to whoever passes the doorstep.
- Do you work with businesses across County Londonderry?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Northern Ireland, including Derry and the surrounding County Londonderry area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derry businesses do you usually work with?
- Cross-border trading systems for businesses working into Donegal, and manufacturing tooling for the north west. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Healthcare, Higher Education, Digital and Tourism.
- Do you cover the areas around Derry?
- Yes — we work throughout Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Lisburn. Derry is an urban area of roughly 85,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Londonderry region rather than the city boundary alone.
