Packaging Design Services

Where your product and brand meet the real world

Packaging is often the first physical interaction someone has with a brand. It’s what gets picked up, turned over, and taken home. In that moment, design has to do a lot of work—quickly, clearly, and convincingly.

At Outerlands, packaging design grows directly from brand strategy and visual identity. Every decision is intentional, ensuring the packaging feels like a natural extension of the brand, not a separate exercise.


More than something to hold the product

Good packaging doesn’t just contain what’s inside. It communicates value, builds trust, and signals what kind of brand this is—before a word is read or a product is tried.

Without a clear foundation, packaging often becomes crowded or inconsistent, trying to say everything at once. When strategy and identity lead the way, packaging feels confident, legible, and unmistakably on-brand.

If it feels considered, it probably was.


From system to shelf

Packaging design at Outerlands begins with what’s already been defined. Brand strategy clarifies positioning and audience. Visual identity establishes the system. Packaging brings both into the physical world.

Rather than designing labels as a solitary excercise, we approach packaging as part of a larger ecosystem—ensuring it aligns with messaging, digital touchpoints, and the broader brand experience.

How packaging design takes shape

From concept to production:

Packaging design work typically includes:

  • Packaging concept and system development

  • Label and structural layout design

  • Typography, hierarchy, and information flow

  • Color, material, and finish considerations

  • Production-ready artwork and specifications

Together, these elements create packaging that stands out on the shelf while staying true to the brand’s direction.

Who this is for:

Packaging design is well suited for brands that:

  • Have established brand strategy and visual identity

  • Need packaging that reflects their positioning and values

  • Want consistency across products and formats

  • Are planning for growth, not just a single release

This service isn’t intended for one-off labels or projects looking to bypass foundational work.

Strong packaging starts long before dielines.

What Comes Next:

Once packaging is established, it becomes a cornerstone of the brand—supporting launches, extensions, and ongoing design needs.

Packaging design often expands into:

  • Content & Copywriting

  • Website Design

  • Graphic Design (Ongoing Support)

Each application reinforces the system, keeping the brand cohesive as it expands.
