Custom Packaging Design That Converts

Packaging isn’t just protection, it’s persuasion. With Importivity’s custom packaging design services, we help brands create packaging that stops customers in their tracks. For Whiskey Towers, we built a custom retail box with a clear viewing window, letting buyers experience the product before purchase, similar to the excitement of opening a Hot Wheels package.

From Prototype to Mass Production

Every stage managed; no hand-offs, no surprises.

Barcode Integration & Retail Readiness

Barcode Integration & Retail Readiness

For big-box retailers, barcodes make or break distribution. Importivity integrates UPC and EAN barcodes into your custom packaging, ensuring products scan correctly across global POS systems. We handle GS1 registration, SKU assignment, and retailer-specific formatting so your packaging is 100% retail-ready.

When it comes to scaling into Walmart, Target, or Costco, accurate barcode integration is what keeps shelves stocked and sales flowing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is custom packaging and why does it matter for my business?

Custom packaging refers to packaging solutions designed specifically for your product, rather than using generic boxes or cartons. It helps protect your product, ensures compliance with retailer and regulatory requirements, and creates a strong first impression that drives sales.

We manage the entire process from concept to delivery: design, compliance checks, barcode setup, prototyping, quality assurance, and logistics. Unlike many firms, we don’t hand off your project halfway — we take ownership until your custom packaging is in your customers’ hands.

Yes. Big-box stores and e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Walmart require strict compliance with labeling, barcodes, and safety certifications. Our team ensures your custom packaging meets these standards so your product is retail-ready from day one.

Absolutely. We design recyclable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly custom packaging that meets U.S., EU, and international sustainability regulations. This not only protects the environment but also aligns your brand with today’s consumer expectations.

Barcodes are more than a label — they’re your product’s passport into retail. We handle GS1 registration, integration into your packaging design, and point-of-sale testing to ensure your products scan correctly in any store, reducing costly returns or rejections.

China offers scale and finishing quality, Vietnam provides cost-effective solutions with tariff advantages, Mexico excels at speed and nearshoring, and the U.S. delivers IP protection and fast prototyping. We advise you on the best option depending on cost, speed, compliance, and risk factors.

Yes. From modular homes to fragile consumer electronics, we’ve engineered custom packaging for products that don’t fit into traditional boxes. Our team designs packaging that minimizes damage risk and solves complex logistics challenges.

We start with concept design, move into prototype packaging, refine through sample runs, and finally scale into full mass production with multi-stage inspections. At every stage, our experts test for strength, compliance, and presentation.

Tariffs often apply differently depending on product classification and materials. By designing tariff-aware custom packaging and leveraging nearshore manufacturing, we help businesses cut costs and build resilience against sudden tariff changes.

Simple: book a call with our team. We’ll review your product, goals, and compliance needs, then present a tailored custom packaging plan with clear costs, timelines, and sourcing options.
