The category
In premium beauty, the box is the product experience
Someone spends several hundred dollars on a skincare device. It arrives. What happens in the next ninety seconds determines whether they post about it, whether they keep it, and whether they buy the next one.
That’s not packaging as a container. It’s packaging as the first and most physical moment of the brand, and it has to hold up to being photographed by the customer in daylight on a bathroom counter. Print finish, substrate, insert engineering, and how the device is presented when the lid comes off are all brand decisions, not procurement decisions.
The studio comes at this from prepress. Specifying a soft-touch laminate, knowing what a spot UV actually costs at volume, and designing an insert that survives shipping are the difference between a premium object and an expensive-looking one.
Single SKU
$2,100
Primary and secondary packaging for one product, designed from prepress and delivered press-ready.
SKU family
$7,500
Up to six SKUs designed as one system. Cheaper per unit, because the system gets built once.
Brand system
$14,000
Positioning, identity, applications, and a guidelines document built for handoff.
Claims
Claims are a design problem, not just a legal one
Beauty and device marketing lives on a line most designers never learn. “Reduces wrinkles” and “improves the appearance of fine lines” are not stylistic alternatives: one is a drug claim and one is a cosmetic claim, and which one appears on your carton determines your regulatory exposure. Before-and-after imagery carries its own substantiation rules.
The studio designs to the claims language your regulatory or legal advisor approves, and builds layouts that survive their markup without a redesign. Compliance determination is theirs; correct, elegant execution on the page is mine.

FAQ
Asked and answered
Do you design for FDA-regulated devices?
The studio designs to the claims language and marking requirements your regulatory advisor specifies. It has worked across regulated personal-care categories where the difference between a cosmetic claim and a drug claim changes the entire panel.
Can you handle a full device line, not just one product?
Yes, that’s a system, and it’s cheaper per SKU than designing each one. Space Touch is a multi-product family designed to stay coherent as it grows.
Do you work in Shopify?
Yes. Storefront creative, product pages, and campaign assets built to Shopify’s templates and image specs, so nothing breaks when it’s uploaded.
What does this cost?
Brand and packaging systems start at $14,000. A single SKU’s packaging starts at $2,100. Ongoing storefront and campaign creative runs on monthly partnership from $2,200, and most multi-SKU brands land on Press Run at $3,900.
