    The product, the SKUs and the printer, then a written scope.
    HOW LONG

    Structure first. Then artwork.

    Dates depend on the SKU count and the printer. The written scope sets them.

    01
    Step 1

    Product and print brief

    Dimensions, weight, category regulations, audience and print budget are mapped before any design.

    02
    Step 2

    Dieline and structure

    The dieline is built to the printer's die, with structural concepts and material options.

    03
    Step 3

    Artwork and 3D

    The identity is applied to the structure. Up to two colourways are rendered in 3D for your approval, across two revision rounds.

    04
    Step 4

    Press files

    PDF/X-1a files, the prepress checklist and the printer shortlist. Printer coordination if the scope includes it.

    IF IT GOES WRONG

    Seen in 3D before it's printed.

    And built on the printer's own die.

    01

    The printer's die, from the start

    Artwork is laid out on the die your printer will cut, so panels, folds and glue flaps land where the design expects them.

    02

    Approval before production

    Each colourway is rendered in 3D and signed off. Production files are made only after that.

    03

    Files built for prepress

    PDF/X-1a with bleed, trim, fold marks and CMYK profiles, plus a checklist the printer can tick through.

    04

    Regulation in the first layout

    Mandatory label zones are placed before the artwork, so nothing has to be squeezed in at the end.

    05

    Scope in writing

    Packs, inserts, SKUs and files are listed before work starts. A change is priced before it is made.

    WHO IT'S FOR

    For products that ship in a box.

    If the second list sounds closer, start with the service it names.

    Packaging design fits

    • 01
      Food and beverage brands

      FSSAI label zones, shelf presence, and files a co-manufacturer's printer can work from.

    • 02
      Gifting and hampers

      An opening sequence planned layer by layer, from the courier's handover to the last sheet of tissue.

    • 03
      Subscription boxes

      A box that arrives every month and is part of what the subscriber pays for.

    • 04
      A range of SKUs

      One structure and grid, with a colour and an information panel for each variant.

    Look elsewhere first

    • 01
      Only a picture of the pack is needed

      Product Mockups in AI Studio makes renders for a listing or a pitch, without press files.

    • 02
      There is no identity yet

      Brand Identity comes first. Packaging applies the mark, colours and type it defines.

    • 03
      Printing the packs

      Drimigo does not run a press. The printer is paid directly, and press files are what this service delivers.

    STANDARDS YOU CAN CHECK

    What prepress checks. Checked first.

    Each one is visible in the delivered files.

    01

    PDF/X-1a

    The print exchange standard: fonts embedded, colours in CMYK or named spot inks, no live transparency.

    02

    Bleed, trim and fold marks

    On every file, set to the printer's specification.

    03

    Dieline on its own layer

    The cut and fold lines sit on a separate, non-printing layer over the artwork.

    04

    Colour by code

    CMYK values throughout, with Pantone references where the brand colour is printed as a spot ink.

    05

    Mandatory label zones

    For food, the FSSAI declarations have their space and order set in the layout.

    06

    Prepress checklist

    A one-page list delivered with the files, for the printer to confirm before plates are made.

    BEFORE YOU BRIEF

    What founders ask before the print run.

    The dieline is built to your printer's own die specification, or the right die is sourced for the structure. Artwork is delivered as PDF/X-1a with bleed, trim, fold marks and CMYK profiles, along with a prepress checklist.
    Yes. Label zones are designed for FSSAI's mandatory declarations: nutrition facts, ingredient list, allergen callouts and the order the regulatory text has to follow. The design is built around them from the first layout.
    No. Drimigo does not run a press. You get production files and a shortlist of Indian printers and packaging suppliers, with pricing benchmarks for runs from 500 to 1,00,000 units. The printer relationship can be managed for you if needed.
    Yes. Kraft, recycled board, soy inks and compostable options are part of the material advice, along with the suppliers in India who stock them.
    As one system. Structure, grid and type stay fixed, and each variant gets its own colour and product information. Each SKU is €179. Bring the SKU count to the first call, and a range is quoted in writing.
    Yes. 3D renders of every colourway are approved before production files are made.
    The starting price covers the primary pack for one SKU, plus one flat insert such as a thank-you card. The outer mailer or shipping box, the inner reveal, tissue, a product guide and an offer-code card are added in the written scope and priced separately. The sequence is planned from the courier's handover to the product in hand.
    Product dimensions and weight, the category's regulations, who the product is for, the print budget, and your printer's die specification if a printer is already chosen.
