    Packaging design for London brands headed to shelves and doorsteps

    London is full of product brands moving from markets and online stores into delis, department stores and supermarkets: coffee roasters, skincare makers, sauces, spirits, candles. Packaging has to sell from a shelf, survive a courier, look good unboxed on social media and carry the information the law requires, all in the same few square centimetres.

    Labelling rules depend on the product. Food and drink must follow UK food information rules, including allergen labelling under Natasha's Law for prepacked for direct sale food. Cosmetics fall under the UK cosmetics regulations, with ingredient lists, a responsible person and product notification. Alcohol, supplements and toys each have rules of their own. Environmental claims must comply with the CMA's Green Claims Code, and extended producer responsibility for packaging places reporting duties on many businesses. Labels for Northern Ireland and the EU may need different marks.

    Costs follow the number of SKUs, structural design versus surface graphics, printing method, finishes and sample rounds. Ask a designer whether they have worked on your product category, how they verify mandatory label content with you, whether they work with your printer on dielines and proofs, and how a design will scale when you add flavours or sizes. Frenchy Digital asks you to confirm regulatory text with your compliance adviser before final artwork.
