Our production services handle the ongoing mechanical artwork needs that come with managing a product portfolio. From line extensions and regional adaptations to full brand rollouts, we build production-ready mechanicals that hold up across the entire range.
We specialize in the detail-intensive work that comes with scale — adapting designs for new flavors, sizes or formats; creating mechanicals for regional variations with different languages or regulatory requirements; managing version control across large SKU counts.
We've produced mechanical artwork for Diageo's spirits portfolio, Danone's dairy products and multiple tequila and bourbon brands across hundreds of SKU variations.
Successful packaging production starts 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. Particularly valuable for spirits packaging with complex foil stamping, beauty products requiring precise color matching, and CPG brands coordinating multi-facility production.
Our experience spans flexo, offset, digital and specialty printing processes.
Print Feasibility (Prepro) Calls
Retouching & Product Photography Compositing
Strong packaging starts with strong product imagery. Our retouching and compositing services transform raw photography into brand-ready assets — food and beverage work where appetite appeal matters, beauty compositing where consistency across shade ranges is critical, and spirits photography where premium positioning demands precision.
From removing blemishes and enhancing lighting to compositing multiple elements into a cohesive hero image, we make sure the visual matches the brand.
Final Mechanicals
Packaging isn't just design — what goes on it is often required by law. Every category we work in carries mandatory copy requirements: government health warnings for spirits, FDA-regulated Nutrition Facts panels for food and beverage, INCI ingredient lists for beauty. We stay current on these requirements and work closely with your internal teams to ensure the correct elements appear on-pack and are properly executed before files go to print.
Our mechanical artwork services cover dieline creation and management, color separation, barcode placement, legal text integration, substrate optimization and proofing coordination. We've produced mechanicals for spirits brands with complex label builds, beauty brands managing global SKU variations and CPG companies coordinating multi-facility production. Every file is built to the specific print process, substrate and finishing your project requires.
