Branding & Packaging

Identity systems, label artwork, and carton design — built to clear regulatory review the first time rather than after the third revision.

Best for

Pharma and consumer-product brands where the packaging is a compliance document as much as a design.

How we run it.

Every label starts with the mandatory text block — generic name, composition, warnings, storage conditions, and the batch and expiry fields — laid out at final print size before a single brand decision is made, because on a carton the statutory copy is the layout and the identity has to work around it. We will not drop approved copy a point size to make a front panel breathe, and we will not release artwork without a numbered revision the printer's proof can be checked against. The mistake a generalist studio makes is treating packaging as a screen graphic: colours that shift on the substrate, type that reads on a monitor and disappears on a small curved face, and working files that get overwritten rather than versioned, so the line ends up running an old artwork.

Questions about Branding & Packaging.

How do you design pharma label and carton artwork that clears regulatory review?
Regulatory artwork clears review most reliably when the mandatory text is set first and the brand identity is built around it, which is the order we work in. Generic name, composition, warnings, storage conditions, and the batch and expiry fields are positioned at final print size before any design decision, so review comments come back about presentation rather than missing or undersized statutory copy. Each round is versioned, so the reviewer and the plant are always reading the same revision.
Do you supply print-ready packaging artwork or only the brand design?
SocialBandhu hands over print-ready packaging files rather than presentation mockups — artwork built to the converter's dieline, with bleed, spot colours, and the barcode and batch-code areas positioned for the press. Brand identity and packaging run as one piece of work, because separating them is what produces a mark that looks right in a deck and falls apart on a small carton face. The handover includes the numbered revision the printer's proof should be checked against.
