Initial consultation
|
| |
|
| |
When it comes to designing
packaging there are a couple
of things we need to
consider. The packaging can
be designed including the
layout of the box and the
graphics or only just the
graphics. Depending on your
budget you will need to take
the decision of what is the
best for your business and
how much you are willing to
invest. We will assist you
designing both the packaging
box and the graphics but the
costs will be different
since designing of the box
will require the following:
|
| |
| |
|
|
a. |
Obtaining samples
from you to design
the best size (s)
and shape. |
|
b. |
Developing
prototypes of the
packaging concepts
and assemble them to
determine their
functionality |
|
c. |
Test different art
board thicknesses to
provide the best
protection to the
product. |
|
d. |
Obtaining quotations
for the cutting mould
that will be used to
trim the printed
packaging (one off
payment). |
| |
|
If what you need is
just require the
artwork we will
request from you the
dimensions and shape
of the packaging box
you have selected so
we can design the
graphics
accordingly. Ask
your preferred
printer if they have
the cutting die for
a packaging box with
the right dimensions
for your product and
they might be able
to help you. This
could save you
spending on the
cutting form and the
design of the
packaging itself. |

Authorisation to commence
|
| |
|
| |
Upon giving consideration to
your individual
requirements, we will
respond with an estimate
based on the information
gathered previously. We
require you to sign the
‘commencement agreement’ and
fax it back to us. |
| |
|
|
3. |
Development of drafts |
| |
|
| |
|
The first stage in
the development, is
to let as many ideas
and concepts loose
as possible. This
will entail our
designers laying out
multiple designs on
‘paper’ in varying
styles and colours
to achieve a broad
range of
possibilities from
which to refine.
After sorting
through the drafts
that have potential
and the ones that
don’t, we will then
present
approximately three
different options to
you for your
consideration.
|
|
| |
|
|
4. |
Refinement of drafts |
| |
|
| |
This stage offers you the
opportunity to tell us what
you like and what you don’t.
There may be aspects of one
or two drafts that appeal
and may be refined further,
or combined to create a new
draft. It is now that you
will start forming a
definite idea of the
direction you want to take
it – the main aim of this
stage is to define that
direction. |
| |
|
|
5. |
Selection of final design |
| |
|
| |
After refining the initial
drafts, it is now time to
concentrate it down to one
design. This final design
may be selected directly
from a draft, or it might
incorporate aspects from
several of the drafts. |
| |
|
|
6. |
Refinement of final
design |
| |
|
| |
Our designers will now
‘tweak’ the final design,
paying attention to any
aspects that weren’t quite
right or needed further
refinement. Now is also the
time to finalise colour
choices. |
| |
|
|
7. |
Approval of final design |
| |
|
| |
It may take two or three
further “back-and-forth’s”
between ourselves and
yourself to finalise the
final single design, but
eventually we will arrive at
the finished product, from
which we will require
approval to finalise the
project. |
| |
|
|
8. |
Printing and final approval
|
| |
|
| |
Pakamedia Grafik is able to
take care of all your
printing needs - we will
provide a printing quote for
your consideration. The
printer will produce a full-colour
hard-copy proof, which you
must check over carefully
and sign-off as your final
approval. |
