Packaging Production & Mechanical Artwork Services

Our packaging production services handle the ongoing mechanical artwork needs that come with managing a product portfolio. From line extensions and SKU variations to full brand rollouts, we create production-ready mechanicals that maintain brand consistency across your entire range.

We specialize in the repetitive, detail-intensive work that bogs down creative teams: adapting packaging designs for new flavors, sizes, or formats; creating mechanicals for regional variations with different languages or regulatory requirements; and managing version control across dozens or hundreds of SKUs.

This is where we add the most value for spirits brands, beauty companies, and CPG manufacturers with large portfolios. Instead of your designers spending hours on mechanical variations, we handle the production work while your creative team focuses on innovation and strategy.

We've produced mechanical artwork for major brand rollouts including Diageo's spirits portfolio, Danone's dairy products, and multiple tequila and bourbon brands—managing hundreds of SKU variations while maintaining perfect brand consistency.

Print Feasibility (Prepro) Calls

Successful packaging production begins with alignment. Our print feasibility consultations—often called prepro calls—bring together internal teams, printers, and co-packers to establish production parameters before files are finalized. We review design objectives, substrate specifications, print methods, color requirements, and finishing techniques to identify potential issues early. These strategic planning sessions are critical for spirits packaging with complex foil stamping, beauty products requiring precise color matching, and CPG brands coordinating multi-facility production. By proactively addressing feasibility concerns, we reduce production delays, control costs, and ensure your packaging prints correctly the first time. Our experience spans flexo, offset, digital, and specialty printing processes.

Retouching & Product Photography Compositing

Great packaging starts with compelling product imagery. Our retouching and compositing services transform raw photography into brand-ready assets with maximum taste appeal and visual impact. We specialize in food and beverage retouching where appetite appeal is paramount, beauty product compositing where consistency across shade ranges is critical, and spirits photography where premium positioning demands flawless execution. From removing blemishes and enhancing lighting to compositing multiple elements into cohesive hero images, we ensure every visual element reinforces your brand story. Our work has elevated packaging for leading CPG brands, ensuring that what appears on shelf matches—or exceeds—the creative vision.

Final Mechanicals

Final mechanical artwork is the foundation of successful packaging production. Our mechanical artwork services deliver print-ready files that meet printer specifications, maintain brand integrity, and eliminate production risk. We handle dieline creation and management, color separation, barcode placement, legal text integration, substrate optimization, and proofing coordination—ensuring every file is production-ready before it reaches your vendor. With experience producing mechanicals for spirits brands requiring complex label builds, beauty brands managing global SKU variations, and CPG companies coordinating multi-facility production, we understand the technical precision required to bridge design and manufacturing. Every mechanical we deliver has been optimized for the specific print process, substrate, and finishing techniques your project requires.
