Your packaging is your silent salesperson. On a shelf full of competitors, you have about 3 seconds to grab someone's attention and convince them to pick up your product. In Detroit's growing product economy — from craft food and beverage to cannabis and beauty brands — packaging design isn't optional. It's the difference between getting picked up and getting passed over.

Packaging Design Services

We design packaging that sells — not just packaging that looks pretty on a mood board. Every project starts with understanding your retail environment, shelf placement, target customer, and competitive landscape. Then we create packaging that stands out where it matters most: at the point of purchase.

  • Product labels (food, beverage, cannabis, beauty)
  • Box and carton design
  • Pouch and flexible packaging
  • Retail display packaging
  • Shipping box and mailer design
  • Hang tags and inserts
  • Dieline creation and print-ready files
  • Mockups for investor pitches and listings

Industries We Design For

Detroit's product scene is booming. We design packaging for food and beverage brands hitting shelves at Meijer, Whole Foods, and local markets. We work with cannabis brands navigating Michigan's compliance requirements while still standing out in dispensaries. We create beauty and personal care packaging that competes with national brands. And we build retail packaging for everything from automotive accessories to home goods.

Packaging That's Print-Ready

We don't just design — we deliver files that are ready for your printer or manufacturer. Every project includes dielines, bleed marks, and CMYK color profiles. We work with your printer directly to ensure what we design is what gets produced. No surprises, no color shifts, no reprints.

DETROIT FAQ

How much does packaging design cost?

Packaging design at NUI starts at $500 per SKU for label design and $800+ for structural packaging (boxes, pouches, displays). Our Product Brand Identity package ($5,500) includes packaging design as part of a complete brand system. Volume discounts available for multiple SKUs.

Do you handle the printing too?

We don't print in-house, but we work directly with your printer to ensure perfect production. We provide print-ready files with proper bleed, dielines, and color profiles. We can also recommend trusted Detroit-area printers for labels, boxes, and flexible packaging.

Can you design cannabis packaging that meets Michigan regulations?

Yes — we're experienced with Michigan's cannabis packaging requirements including child-resistant packaging, required warning labels, THC content placement, and compliance text. We create designs that meet all regulatory requirements while still looking premium on the shelf.

How long does packaging design take?

Label design typically takes 2-3 weeks. Structural packaging (boxes, pouches, displays) takes 3-4 weeks due to dieline development and structural testing. Rush timelines are available for product launches and seasonal deadlines.
