thePRODUCTIONsprint
A high-velocity, 4-week engagement for emerging CPG brands nearing mass production. We bridge the gap between vision and factory floor to ensure your first run is a retail success.
PHASE 01: RETAIL STRATEGY
We analyze your brand DNA against the shelf landscape. By mapping your category and defining your core differentiator, we establish a tactical visual identity for your product.
CORE DELIVERABLES
Production-ready mechanicals, detailed printer specification sheets, and three focused revision rounds to ensure perfection.
PHASE 02: TACTILE DESIGN
We present two distinct creative paths focused on shelf impact and consumer psychology. We prioritize tactile finishes and high-contrast typography that stops the scroll and the stroll.
OUR PRE-PRESS PROMISE
We manage every technical detail from spot colors to overprints. If your first print run encounters any prepress issue, we iterate and resolve it immediately at no additional charge.
PHASE 03: SKU FINALIZATION
Locking in your primary SKU and cascading the design to two variants. We finalize all nutritional panels, barcode orientations, and technical certifications for a zero-error handoff.
PHASE 04: HANDOFF
Final file transfer of native production assets and a comprehensive handover meeting. You leave the sprint with complete confidence to greenlight your first multi-thousand unit run.
