Packaging Design Services in Kannur

Pouch & bag design

Stand-up pouches, zip-lock bags and pillow packs designed with structure, grip and shelf presence in mind.

Jar & label design

Jar labels, neck bands and lid stickers for honey, spices and pickles, designed at real jar size so nothing gets lost in print.

Box & carton design

Gift boxes, shipper cartons and retail boxes with dielines, panels and assembly instructions for your printer.

Amazon-ready packaging

Main image-friendly front panels, A+ content visuals and packs sized for FBA — designed from day one for online selling.

Print-ready files

Correct CMYK, bleed, dielines and safe zones so pouch and label printers in Kannur reproduce the design exactly.

Mockups before print

Photorealistic pack mockups so you see the pouch, jar or box in your hand before you commit to a print run.

Food pouches and retail bags: different packaging needs

Kannur food and retail businesses need different packaging decisions. A food pouch must communicate product information; a shopping bag carries the store identity. The existing portfolio includes both formats.

The documented food pouch shows the product's packaging artwork.

For a Kannur food producer, the next brief would confirm pack size, ingredients, mandatory label information and the printer's dieline.

The portfolio includes cream and green Kinari bag designs, alongside Tela by Ash and Ash Aspen bags.

For a Kannur retailer, bag dimensions, material, handle position and print method would need approval before production.

Two pack directions with mockups, including structure options your printer can actually produce.

3. Refine & test

Colour, type and layout tuned at real pack size, checked against your printer's specs.

Common questions

How much does packaging design cost in Kannur?

It depends on scope: a single pouch or jar label with mockups costs less than a full range — multiple SKUs, boxes, and Amazon-ready versions. Message me on WhatsApp with your product and I'll send a fixed quote before any work starts.

How long does a packaging design take?

A single SKU usually takes 5–7 days: concept, one or two refinement rounds, then final print-ready files. Larger ranges with multiple SKUs take proportionally longer.

Do you work with printers in Kannur?

Yes. I design to the specs of the pouch, label and carton printers that Kannur district brands already use — or I can guide you to printers who can produce the structure we design.

Can you make packaging Amazon-ready?

Yes. The front panel is designed to work as the Amazon main image, and I can supply A+ content visuals and pack sizes suited to FBA fulfilment.

Which files will I receive?

Print-ready PDF and AI/EPS artwork with correct CMYK, bleed and dielines, plus JPEG/PNG versions for listings, social media and internal use.

Can you design packaging with Malayalam text?

Yes. I design bilingual and Malayalam-first labels, which matters for local retail in Kannur district while English remains for online marketplaces.

Do you include mockups?

Yes — photorealistic mockups are part of every project so you can visualise the pouch, jar or box before printing.

Can you also design the logo and brand?

Yes. Many packaging projects start with a logo refresh or a full small brand identity, then flow into the pack design so the shelf presence is consistent.
