Production Support

The Full-Package Process

- Clear creative direction and packaging concept
- Print-ready artwork files
- Mockups and real-world visualisation
- Liaison with printers or suppliers
- Support with production queries or constraints

Phase 1: Discovery and briefing

We always start from the ground up to build an understanding of your product, brand, audience and how it needs to move through the world. Whether you're building a brand new product or reworking your existing packaging, we’ll ask the right questions to shape a brief that balances strategic creativity with realistic production.
Work involved: Product & brand review | Audience & market research | Creative briefing | Packaging format | Production planning | Budget & feasibility | Materials & sustainability | Retail environment | Future product ranges
Phase 2: Concept and design

Next, we’ll get to work designing packaging and labels tailored to your format and materials. After the brief, we explore typography, layout, colour, finish and print specs, then mock up designs to help you visualise how everything comes together. The goal is to create something that’s considered, intentional and earns its place on their top shelf.
Work involved: Creative direction | Packaging concepts | Artwork refinement | Typography & layout | Colour & finishes | Label design | Product mockups | Visual hierarchy | Brand consistency
Phase 3: Production support

Finally, we’ll bring everything together and prepare print-ready work with clear specs for your supplier. This is also where we consider the finishing touches that add depth, from foil and embossing to tactile stock choices and subtle print treatments. The aim is simple: an elevated, purposeful outcome that feels as good in hand as it looks in place.
Work involved: Print-ready artwork | Proof checking | File preparation | Printer liaison | Print specifications | Production support | Materials & finishes | Supplier guidance | Final artwork exports

One of a kind work for brands small and sizeable

Packaging is where creative strategy becomes real. It’s the moment your brand shifts from intrepid idea to tangible object, and from thought to something worth picking up. We design packaging that feels considered and lasting, echoing the same care that went into creating what’s inside it.

We have been working with Sarah now for 5 years. The impact she has made has been incredible. Our business has grown and she’s grown with it… With 3 Agritourism businesses going on generating content, for socials was becoming a nightmare. Vital to the business, but no time to spend on it. Amy has been tremendous in writing content and producing engaging social posts across each of our 3 brands… I cannot thank Sarah and her Studio team enough for the dedication and hard work they devote to helping us to continue to grow our business. I am truly excited for what is to come next!

We worked with Sarah on the Moonjelli brand and had a really positive experience throughout. She took the time to properly understand what we were trying to build and translated that into a brand that feels considered, premium, and true to us. The process was well structured, communication was clear, and feedback was always taken on board thoughtfully. The final outcome works beautifully across packaging and digital, and gives us a strong foundation to build on as the brand grows. We would happily recommend Sarah and Studio Creates to anyone looking for branding that is both creative and commercially sound.

Sarah done amazing work with our rebranding. She knew exactly what we were looking for. Her attention to detail was exceptional and I love our new logo. She also recommended suppliers to use for our new signs etc. I highly recommend.

Sarah did a wonderful job creating a brand logo for my small business. She created exactly what I was looking for even though I initially wasn’t sure what that was. I found Sarah to be professional and very helpful with any questions or worries I had, no matter how small. After my logo was finalised I also ordered some printed business stationery which was great quality and just what I needed. I would happily recommend her to friends.

Archerfield has worked with Sarah on developing our brand, a label design for in house jams, jellies, honey and our shop branding too. Sarah’s ideas and expertise in the design process have been second-to-none. Lovely to deal with and delivers a fantastic standard of work. Our labels were produced ahead of schedule because of Sarah’s strong communication and work ethic.
