Print and packaging design in Bangkok
- Your Choice
Print and packaging design, with or without the printing
We design print work and packaging, and we can handle the printing too. You choose. Take the files to your own printer, or let us manage the whole job and deliver the finished product.
- How It Works
Two ways to work
Design only. You get the finished artwork, packaged properly, and you take it to whichever printer you like.
Design and print. We handle the printing, check the proofs, and deal with the printer so you do not have to. The printing is invoiced with the job.
If this is your first print job, design and print means we handle the printer and proofing for you. Once you have a printer you trust, take the files and run it yourself. We do not tie you to our printers and never will.
Who is responsible for what
On any job we print, you approve the final artwork before production. That approved artwork is the reference for the content, layout and details you supplied.
Where colour, trim or registration need to meet an agreed production standard, the printer’s approved production proof or specification is the reference. If the finished job falls outside that agreed specification, we deal with the printer.
If something in the content was wrong on the artwork you approved, a phone number, a price, a spelling, that is yours. So read it properly.
On design only jobs, printing is between you and your printer. If they have a question about the artwork or the file specification we supplied, we will answer it.
- The Files
What you get
Every job is handed over as a full Adobe package with the working file, linked images, and any font files we are licensed to supply. Where a font cannot legally be packaged, we include its name and source.
The package gives another designer or a suitably equipped printer the source files needed to continue the job. Alongside it you get print ready PDFs prepared for production, with bleed and crop marks set up for the process being used.
Because you have the working files, you are not tied to us. Another designer can pick the job up later.
- The Range
What we design
Business cards.
Flyers and leaflets. Single or double sided, folded or flat.
Brochures and catalogues. Multi page, properly laid out, with the pagination worked out for how the job will actually be bound.
Menus. Food and drink, including laminated and reprintable formats, and versions in more than one language.
Roll up banners and pull ups. For events, shopfronts and exhibitions.
Stickers and labels. Product labels, seals, window graphics.
Packaging. Boxes, pouches, sleeves and product labels.
- Packaging
Packaging, and what you need to bring
Packaging is different from other print work, because a lot of what goes on the box is not a design decision.
Your barcode, manufacturer details, country of origin, distributor information, usage instructions, certification marks and any regulatory text all come from you or from your compliance agency. Every market has its own requirements, and the rules for a product sold in the EU are not the rules for one sold in Thailand.
What we do is place the content you supply into the packaging design, following the specifications and instructions you provide.
Before we start, send us:
- Your barcode
- All required regulatory and legal text for every market you sell into, with any size or placement requirements
- Manufacturer, distributor and country of origin details
- Any certification marks you must display
- The dieline from your production company, or the exact dimensions and material
If your production company has a dieline, always use theirs. Designing to a guessed shape and finding out later is an expensive mistake.
- Before You Approve
Read your artwork properly before approving it
Worth saying plainly, because a content error found after printing can mean paying to print the job again.
You are responsible for checking the content. Every phone number, every price, every email address, every spelling, every opening hour. We may point something out if we notice it, but we are designers, not proofreaders, and we do not know that your new number ends in a 7 rather than a 1.
Once you approve the artwork, that is the content we send to print. If a phone number, price or spelling was wrong in the artwork you approved, the reprint is at your cost.
Read it out loud, and have someone else check it too. Reading aloud catches errors that reading silently does not.
- What It Costs
Prices
Prices depend on the format, the number of pages and how much artwork is involved. Rough guide:
| Item | From |
|---|---|
| Business card | 4,000 THB |
| Flyer or leaflet | 5,000 THB |
| Menu | 8,000 THB |
| Roll up banner | 5,000 THB |
| Product label | 8,000 THB |
| Brochure or catalogue | 12,000 THB |
| Packaging | 15,000 THB |
Printing is quoted separately, because it depends entirely on quantity, stock and finish. A thousand business cards and ten thousand are not the same job.
Already a website or branding client? Print work is quoted at a reduced rate.
- Start With The Logo
If you do not have a logo yet
If your logo or branding is still being developed, settle that before designing the print work around it. Design the cards before the logo is final and you pay for it twice.
If you need both, we settle the logo first and then apply it consistently across the print work.

Questions about print and packaging
How long does it take?
Business cards and flyers, a few days. Brochures and packaging, one to two weeks, depending on how much content there is and how quickly feedback comes back.
Can you match my existing branding?
Yes. Send whatever you have, ideally the vector logo and your colour codes. If all you have is a low quality image, we can redraw it properly first.
Do you handle the printing outside Bangkok?
Design work, anywhere. Printing is easiest in Bangkok, where we know the printers and can check proofs in person. Outside Bangkok, take the files to a local printer and we will answer any questions they have about our artwork.
What about proofs?
On any job we print, you approve the artwork before production. Check it carefully, because that approved artwork is the reference for everything you supplied.
Do you do artwork in Thai as well as English?
Yes. We produce artwork in Thai, English and French. The working languages on the project itself are English and French.
Can you work from a design I already have?
Yes, if the files are usable. Send them over and we will tell you whether they can be adapted or need rebuilding.
Who is responsible if the legal text on my packaging is wrong?
You are, or your compliance agency is. We place the content you approve and supply. We do not check regulatory completeness, certify products or advise on regulations.
