Dave Jones Design - is an award winning packaging designer based in Leeds/London, UK - specialising in awesome and innovative food and drink product packaging design to help your company and brand stand out on shelf.
When it comes to packaging design - You need more than just nice looking product packaging. You need a strong brand that resonates with your target customer/audience - this helps your brand stand out on shelf, and as a result helps drive sales. I have over a decade of design experience - as a packaging designer working with start-ups, in all shapes and sizes, from small challenger brands - to large retail brands.
Whether you're a food and drink start-up breaking into the market or an established health or wellness brand looking to refresh your packaging design - my portfolio demonstrates a wide range of packaging design projects. I’ve also successfully helped many brands get listed with major and independent UK retailers such as: Harrods, M&S, Booths, Holland & Barrett, Planet Organic and Selfridges.
Concerned about the costs?…don’t be, as I provide packaging design agency-level creativity, and design without the heavyweight agency fees.
I operate with full transparency - keeping you informed every step of the way, ensuring your packaging design project is on track and within budget. The process begins with a thorough packaging design consultation, to understand the project brief/details.
From there, I undertake targeted market/brand research before the packaging design development to ensure the packaging design/branding resonates with your customers, and stands out on shelf. Once the project is complete - I then send across your new print-ready packaging design, so you can start shouting about your shiny new brand.
