Packaging design · CPG + retailApproach / Grid

Packaging that earns the pickup before the campaign gets a chance.

Grid builds packaging and range systems for consumer brands that need to communicate fast, stand out in a crowded category, and stay recognizable as the portfolio grows.

When to call us

The shelf is a ruthless media channel. The pack has to do a real job.

01

The product is good. The pack is making it look ordinary

Clarify the proposition, hierarchy and visual system so the package earns attention quickly and communicates the reason to choose before the customer moves on.

02

Every new SKU makes the brand less recognizable

Build a range system with clear constants and useful variation so line extensions can grow without turning the shelf into a collection of unrelated products.

03

A rebrand has to survive the shelf

Carry positioning and distinctive brand assets into real package architecture, not just a logo presentation, so the new identity still works at arm's length and beside competitors.

04

The package and campaign feel like different companies

Connect pack, campaign, content and retail creative so recognition compounds from shelf to feed instead of resetting at every touchpoint.

Questions

01

Do you only redesign packaging as part of a full rebrand?

No. We can work within an existing identity when the brand still has equity, or rebuild the identity when the current system cannot support the product, range or category position.

02

Can you design a system for multiple SKUs?

Yes. Range logic is a core part of the work: what stays constant, what changes, how variants are differentiated and how the family still reads as one brand.

03

Can Grid help with the launch after the packaging is done?

Yes. We can carry the same idea into campaign creative, photography, social, retail activation, point-of-sale and digital launch assets so the new pack is supported in market.

04

Do you work with food and beverage packaging?

Yes. Grid works heavily with food, beverage and CPG brands, where packaging has to perform as both brand asset and high-frequency sales surface.

05

Where do you work?

Grid is based in Toronto and Miami and supports consumer brands across Canada and North America.
