Packaging That Performs Online and In-Store

At Alpha, we treat packaging like a power move. Our designs don’t just sit pretty on a shelf. They pop off it. From dielines to print-ready execution, we build packaging systems that win attention and earn trust.

How it works

What happens after you call

01

Requirements and dielines

We collect your printer specs, dielines, and regulatory requirements first, because packaging that cannot be printed is not a design.

02

Concepts

Two or three concepts shown on the actual structure and mocked up on shelf, not flat on a white page.

03

Production art

The chosen concept goes to production art with correct color, bleeds and barcodes, and we check your required copy is present and legible. Final regulatory sign off stays with you.

04

Print check

We send print ready files, review the proof with you, and stay reachable through the press check so surprises happen before the run rather than after it.

In their words

Alpha's team is always helpful and we love the work they have done for us, from the website to the graphics for our service trucks to making us stand out as one of the best providers on social media for garage doors in the 417.

Owner, Brookline Doorworks

We were able to get it done on time, YAY! We appreciated partnering with you again and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Bobby K., Representative, Disney

The images we got back from the first round of working with Alpha left us speechless. We couldn't have dreamed of how cool they could make our products look, totally nailed the vibe we were going for. We now have actual content packs to provide for our distributors, which is awesome.

Common questions

What types of packaging do you design?

We design everything from boxes and pouches to labels, stickers, sleeves, and inserts. Whether it’s for DTC, retail, or Amazon, we create packaging that grabs attention and feels on-brand.

What if I don’t have a dieline or printer yet?

We’ll help source one. We can design to a supplied dieline, or recommend trusted print partners if you're starting from scratch. We speak printer so you don’t have to.

Do you only design packaging?

Nope. We also create graphics for social campaigns, merch, mailers, pop-ups, trade shows, and more. Basically, any visual that needs to look sharp and stay on-brand. We can build it.

Can you help with packaging copy too?

Absolutely. We write punchy, brand-right copy that sells, whether it's ingredient highlights, benefit callouts, or compliance text. Messaging is baked into our design process.

How is packaging design priced?

Per project, based on how many SKUs and how many structures. One label is a different job from a twelve item line sharing one architecture. Production art and print ready file preparation are quoted as part of the work, not added on later.

How many rounds of revisions are included?

Two rounds on the chosen concept. Once we move to production art, changes get expensive quickly, because barcodes, bleeds and legal copy all have to be re-proofed. The concept stage is where you should be picky.

What if the print run comes back wrong?

We stay involved through proofing and the press check for exactly that reason. If the error is in our files we fix it and cover the artwork rework. If it is a press issue, we help you make the case to the printer.
