New capability
A design studio inside the factory.
APD now designs the packaging it manufactures. Structure, artwork and finish are developed alongside the people who will produce them — so nothing is specified that cannot be built.
Structural design
Box constructions, bag proportions, insert engineering and dielines drawn against real material behaviour.
Packaging identity
A full system — colour, paper, finish, handle and artwork — developed from a logo or a brand guideline.
Artwork adaptation
Taking your existing brand assets and preparing them properly for foil, emboss, print and substrate.
Colour & material direction
Pantone selection judged on the actual stock, with coated and uncoated proofs side by side.
Prototyping
Physical mock-ups of the real bag or box, in the real materials, before production commits.
Range development
Building a coherent family across sizes, sub-brands, outlets or seasons from one design language.
Working from a logo alone
A large share of our clients have no internal design team. They have a logo, a colour and a clear sense of how the business should feel — and no obvious route from that to a finished bag.
The studio exists for exactly that gap. We develop the whole system, show it to you in physical form, and then manufacture it.

Send the brief — or the vaguest version of it — and we will come back with a specification, a cost and an honest lead time.
