Selected Work

72% of consumers say packaging design influences their purchase decision. On a crowded retail shelf, your product has approximately 3 seconds to capture attention. Colour triggers emotional associations — red conveys urgency, blue signals trust, green communicates health. Typography, imagery, and structural shape all communicate quality and brand personality before a single word is read.
At Kiwi, we apply consumer psychology to every packaging project. We conduct shelf simulation tests to evaluate visibility against competitors, use eye-tracking principles to guide information hierarchy, and ensure your packaging's visual narrative aligns with your brand positioning.

73% of consumers say they would change consumption habits to reduce environmental impact. Sustainable packaging is a competitive advantage. We design with eco-friendly materials, minimal waste principles, and recyclable structures without compromising visual impact.
Our team works with kraft paper, sugarcane bagasse, recycled cardboard, and biodegradable films. We help brands communicate sustainability through earthy colour palettes, tactile textures, and clear recycling instructions that resonate with environmentally conscious consumers.

Case Studies — Real Outcomes

full e-commerce build + 5× organic traffic
A premium bag and backpack label came to us with a Shopify theme that converted at 0.6%, paid ads burning through ad spend with no attribution, and zero organic search presence. We rebuilt the storefront on a custom Next.js + headless Shopify stack, redesigned the product pages around a clean editorial layout, shot every SKU in our in-house studio, and shipped 40+ SEO-optimised category and lookbook pages. Within 90 days organic traffic grew 5×, Meta and Google ROAS lifted from 1.4× to 3.2×, and average order value climbed 28% on the back of bundle merchandising and improved size-fit content.

Our Process
A 5-step playbook we run with every Auckland client. Same rigor for a NZ$2,000/month SMB engagement and a NZ$15,000/month enterprise pod — only the depth changes.
Study your product, market positioning, competitors, and retail environment.
Develop multiple design concepts exploring different visual directions and packaging structures.
Refine the chosen concept with detailed graphics, typography, and regulatory information.
Create realistic 3D mockups and physical prototypes for testing and stakeholder approval.
Prepare print-ready files and coordinate with manufacturers for flawless production.

Our process begins with market research — analysing competitors' shelf presence, identifying visual gaps, and understanding your target consumer. We develop 2-3 creative directions presented as photorealistic 3D mockups. After refinement, we prepare production files with exact colour specifications (Pantone/CMYK), dieline templates, and material callouts.
We coordinate with your printing partner or recommend trusted printers from our network across New Zealand and internationally. Our team manages pre-press proofing, colour matching, and production sampling. From concept to shelf-ready packaging, typical timelines run 4-8 weeks.
