Art Direction
Great brands have a point of view. Our art direction gives yours a clear visual language across packaging, campaigns, social, web, and merch, so every touchpoint feels like one brand.
- Visual direction and moodboards
- Packaging art direction: color, type, materials, and finishes
- Campaign art direction for launches and drops
- Photo and content direction for social and web
Brand Identity
We build brand identities that are distinctive, flexible, and made to live on a shelf. From a first logo to a full rebrand, we create the system your team and your packaging can use with confidence.
- Logo and visual identity system
- Typography, color, and graphic language
- Brand guidelines your team can actually use
- Brand strategy and positioning, rebrands, and brand refreshes
Production
Production is where the design becomes real. We manufacture your custom packaging and merch ourselves, from approved artwork to delivery, with updates, tracking, and delivery coordination along the way.
- Boxes, mailers, bags, mylar, tins, jars, bottles, and cans
- Branded merch and apparel: hats, tees, hoodies, pins, and mugs
- Out-of-home pieces: street decals, stencils, wheat pasting, and point-of-sale displays
- Custom finishes: matte, gloss, soft-touch, embossed, foil, and metallic
Packaging Engineering
The best-looking package still has to work. Our packaging engineering covers structure, materials, and child-resistant formats, so your product is protected and ready for regulated markets.
- Structure, sizing, and custom dielines
- Child-resistant packaging options, including certified closures
- Material and format selection across glass, metal, paper, plastic, and mylar
- Sample runs before you commit to full production
How We Work
- Discover. We learn your product, your market, your regulations, and your quantity and budget range.
- Design. Art direction, brand identity, and packaging concepts take shape.
- Engineer. We lock structure, materials, closures, and specs.
- Manufacture and deliver. We make your order in our own manufacturing, track it, and coordinate delivery so you always know where it stands.
Vertically Integrated: From Design to Factory Floor
Most brands juggle a design studio, a structural engineer, a broker, a factory, and a freight forwarder. Every handoff adds cost, and every handoff is a chance for color to drift, specs to change, or timelines to slip.
Flowerpot is vertically integrated. The team that designs your packaging also engineers it, and we manufacture it ourselves. That means:
- No middlemen. No broker markups between design and production.
- Direct quality control. We own the process, so what you approve is what you get.
- Tighter timelines. One brief, one point of contact, one schedule.
