Real client testimonials from completed ZOND projects.
Hoshchanochka
Thank you to the ZOND team for the brand, logo, and packaging for Hoshchanochka. We needed the product to stand out on shelf and reflect the producer’s character. Packaging is the buyer’s main contact with the product, so we focused on how the brand shows there. We appreciate the attention to these details.

It was important that the brand character show not only in the logo but in the product itself — through packaging and visual details. We focused on how these elements work together on shelf. We are grateful for the team’s contribution to the brand’s visual expression.

KAVLORA
Thank you to the ZOND team for the branding, website, and content work on Kavlora. For us this project was about presenting the brand as a whole — how it looks, what it says, and how it introduces itself online. That meant working not only on individual visual elements but on the substance of communication. We appreciate the team’s contribution and their attention to Kavlora’s character.

Packaging and label design: what is the difference
Packaging and labels are different elements with different functions.
Packaging is the physical shell of a product (box, jar, bottle, bag, tube, or other container). Its development covers not only appearance but also shape, construction, materials, opening method, and buyer interaction.
Label is an informational and visual element placed on packaging. It contains the brand logo, product name, ingredients, specifications, barcode, and other legally required information. The label is the main design carrier and helps buyers quickly understand what the product is.
Print layout requirements
Even the best design can fail in production if not prepared correctly for print. Packaging development ends with layout preparation according to production technical requirements.
This includes dimensions, die lines, folds, bleed, safe zones, color codes, image resolution, material specifics, and print technology. At ZOND we prepare layouts so printers can start work without additional revisions.
What affects packaging design price
Price depends not only on visual complexity but on the full scope of work. At ZOND we consider:
- packaging type, format, and construction;
- depth of market, competitor, and audience research;
- number of design concepts to present;
- number of SKUs and adaptations for flavors, volumes, or product lines;
- need for illustrations, 3D visualization, or additional graphics;
- number of approved revision rounds;
- project timeline.
After briefing we analyze the task, define scope, timeline, and price, then document it in a commercial proposal.
Packaging for different product categories
There is no universal packaging design that works equally well for all products. What attracts a cosmetics buyer may be inappropriate for baby food, and premium alcohol packaging follows different principles than household chemicals.
We always account for product specifics, analyze competitor packaging, familiar visual patterns, and how to stand out without losing trust.
At ZOND you can order packaging design for:
- food products;
- beverages;
- cosmetics;
- household chemicals;
- pharmaceutical products;
- children's products;
- electronics;
- clothing;
- accessories, and more.
Regardless of niche, our goal is packaging that looks attractive and helps the product compete successfully.
Services often combined with packaging design
If the product lacks clear positioning, character, and visual style, start with brand development before packaging design.
Then packaging is created based on strategy and identity — logically continuing the brand and strengthening recognition.
When the product needs a unique hero, story, or graphics not found on stock sites, complement packaging design with commercial illustration — custom graphics that convey product character, differentiate flavors or lines, and make packaging recognizable before the buyer reads the name.
