Frequently asked questions about frozen food packaging design services.
How do you ensure a frozen-food pack communicates “taste” in a 3–5 second shelf glance?
We start with Pack Words to prioritize the single most persuasive taste or quality claim, then prove visibility with our Design Diagnostic (the 3–5-second shelf moment test). That two-step ensures the hero benefit—taste, freshness, or texture—reads instantly before shoppers move on.
Should we show the product through a window or rely on photography?
It depends. Our frozen-category research shows a meaningful portion of shoppers prefer a real product window, while others prefer clean imagery. We use diagnostic testing to quantify which approach wins for your target audience.
How do you balance convenience and prep cues with premium taste claims?
We rank purchase drivers (taste, prep time, portioning) through consumer testing, then establish a clear communication hierarchy for packaging. This ensures the top driver for the occasion (e.g., “crispy in 5 minutes”) is prioritized on the PDP, with supporting prep and portioning details communicated on the side and rear panels.
How do you design for e-commerce where the pack is often a thumbnail?
We create a digital-first asset system (optimized pack shots, ingredient close-ups, short prep demos, and claim-clear text) and validate them in online PI tests so your pack converts regardless of the channel.
For ethnic or authentic brands, how do you preserve authenticity while expanding mainstream appeal?
We test sub-brand and endorsed-brand approaches (bilingual copy, selective use of original script, color coding) and measure mainstream recognition vs. heritage signals.
How do you make a 50–100+ SKU frozen portfolio feel coherent on the shelf?
We build portfolio architecture through consistent visual anchors, color-coded families, and modular layouts, whether the goal is a total rebrand or a design renovation. Then, we validate navigation and hierarchy through pack-level testing so shoppers can scan and find the right SKU without confusion.
