Frequently asked questions about beverage packaging design services.
Which purchase drivers should our beverage packaging emphasize?
We use consumer research to rank these for your audience and tune hierarchy, copy, and visuals. Common, high-impact drivers we prioritize are taste and flavor, refreshment cues, clear functional benefits (energy, hydration, etc.), ingredient integrity, portion, convenience, and sustainability signals.
Can you do a one-off SKU update or an entire portfolio architecture?
We handle single-SKU refreshes and full brand renovation projects. Our Brand Architecture work rethinks SKU ladders, format roles (single-serve, multi-serve, shots), and occasion mapping, so each pack has a clear job.
How do you solve structural and functional packaging needs for beverages?
We solve structural and functional packaging needs for beverages by designing formats that protect integrity, enhance usability, and differentiate at the shelf. Through the Path to Performance™ process, our design concepts are validated with consumer testing and optimized for brand blocking, opening experience, and shelf impact.
How is a rebranding different from a renovation?
Rebranding is broader and more strategic: new positioning, name/architecture changes, a full visual and verbal identity, and often multiple SKU relaunches. It includes brand positioning work, identity systems, packaging architecture, DTC and retail launch plans, and target audience validation. Renovation improves performance within the current brand, while rebranding changes the brand’s market promise.
How do you ensure on-pack claims (e.g., “with electrolytes”, “low sugar”) are credible and compliant?
We treat claims as strategic assets. Our copy and legal-review process defines on-pack claim rules in the Brand Style Guide, substantiates benefit statements through client documentation, and tests comprehension with consumers. We also incorporate retailer copy requirements and pre-production checks so claims survive legal review, retailer QA, and shopper scrutiny.
