Meraki Concept Studio makes the quality of your product easier to recognise and experience.

Your packaging begins communicating before someone tries the product. I consider what it needs to convey on a shelf or screen, then what happens when someone picks it up, opens it and lives with it.

Structure, graphics, information and materials contribute to that experience. For a range, I establish how products relate to one another while keeping individual choices clear. The work can also extend into merchandise, T-shirt graphics and branded objects that earn a place in someone’s everyday life.

Production knowledge shapes the design from the beginning. I work with supplier specifications and agreed dielines, building artwork in Adobe InDesign with the necessary colour, finishing and manufacturing instructions. I don’t supply Canva versions. Packaging requires a controlled production workflow; a convincing mockup, whether made by hand or generated with AI, cannot confirm that something will print, fold or manufacture successfully.

I draw on relationships with local, national and overseas suppliers, matching their expertise to the brief. A cardboard specialist may help resolve the structure; a specialist in foil or finishing may bring a different level of detail to the surface.

Quantities, unit costs, lead times and practical requirements are considered early. I can coordinate supplier conversations, samples and proofs within the agreed scope, carrying the creative intent through to the physical result.
