Folding Carton Packaging Design
How Working Together Makes for a Better Package
Great packaging is not a coincidence. It requires a great design, careful planning, testing and revisions along the way. It’s also the result of collaboration between brand managers, creative designers and packaging suppliers.
Creating truly successful packaging requires collaboration across all stages from start to finish. And that’s truly something we believe. That’s why Temple Packaging strongly believes in strong collaboration with our clients. From idea to reality, we work closely with clients to achieve packaging success.
The early stages of packaging design are crucial to the success of the final packaging. In this stage, branding managers and even marketing teams must clearly communicate the specific product’s specs and branding elements so the design team can accurately create a structure that supports the product and brand attributes.
Although a brand and marketing team may work together to create a vision for a product’s packaging, it’s important to clearly communicate this vision to the design team to minimize packaging errors and create an outstanding packaging design.
While direct collaboration between brand managers and designers is important, involving packaging suppliers in this stage also ensures that an idea can truly be feasible and no time is wasted designing a packaging that is not viable. Involving packaging suppliers at this stage can also provide alternatives to a design or concept challenge.
During the creative design process, it’s crucial for branding/creative teams to work hand-in-hand with packaging engineers and the packaging suppliers. In this stage, the actual structure and appearance of the packaging will be conceived. To ensure that a proposed design will not only properly convey branding elements but also properly protect the product. An ill-conceived design can be costly when it hits the printer.
To avoid common pitfalls and potentially costly, wasteful attempts at the final package design, designers and engineers should work closely with packaging suppliers and print experts to ensure their design can be manufactured and is seamless with the fulfillment of the product

From inaccurate dielines to poor understanding of press capabilities, a beautiful design can easily become a nightmare. By working together with packaging suppliers and print experts, designers can ensure that their designs will be functional and viable when it hits the presses.
Staying in full communication with the branding teams is also important as an original design idea may need to be altered to meet newly discovered design, structure or print challenges.
At this last stage of packaging creation, collaboration between all three major parties is still highly important. When everything is meant to come together, packaging suppliers must have open lines of communication with both designers and brand managers.
When the packaging projects hit the press, packaging suppliers must clearly identify any issues with color, register and overall quality of print so that adjustments or corrections with the client can be made. Packaging suppliers must be in constant communication to address production challenges that can and do arise. Involving brand managers also ensures that any potential changes in final packaging still meet the original packaging vision.
By maintaining open lines of communication, packaging suppliers can be sure that the final package they deliver meets both original packaging visions.
