Multilingual packaging design and adaptation for Spanish companies that export. Start with one. Scale to the rest when you need them.
We design the pack and its art direction to multiply across languages without redoing it.
When you are launching a new range you will export, and you do not want to redo the artwork for the second market.
One pack, one version per market, with each country's typography and mandatory labelling. They all come out of the same master file, which is why the sixth language is quoted like the second.
When the same product has to ship in several countries at once, and every one of them asks for something different.
If a text, a claim or a market requirement changes, we identify which versions it affects and make the adaptations needed.
When you have to adapt several references for different markets and you do not know where to start.
SKUs, formats and sizes kept coherent across the whole family, whatever the size of your design team.
When the catalogue grows faster than you can keep up with.
This is the expensive mistake. The job goes to a translator, a document comes back with the text in another language, and that is where the problem starts: nobody has fitted that text into a die line that does not change size.
Text. No layers, no legal minimum type size, no idea which parts were never meant to be touched.
The INCI name, H and P statements in their official wording per language, the legal name of the product, botanical names and units. Translating them invalidates the label.
Fit a German that runs 30% longer into the same die line, hold the legal minimum type size, rebuild the safety margin and ship print-ready. That is artwork adaptation.
The work is not created by the catalogue, it is created by the languages. Eight references across four export markets is already thirty-two versions kept by hand. Usually by the one marketing person who is also carrying six other things.
The pilot runs on a real product of yours. You get files, timings and what the rest of the range would take. No minimum volume, no lock-in.
You do not need a regulatory department to work with us. If you have a regulatory adviser or team, they validate the content. We take care of carrying it correctly into the packaging and preparing the versions you need.
Nothing has to be broken. We start in parallel on one reference and your studio carries on with the rest. You decide afterwards, with both results in front of you.
We rebuild it. It is a cost paid once, and from then on the master file is yours: we hand it over with every packaging file.
One product, one date, every version in sync, and no single market holding back the rest.
You go from scattered folders and versions nobody can vouch for to a master file with traceability.
A rule changes and it hits half your range. We tell you which references to touch, in what order and with how much room.
Modernise front and back without rebuilding the range from scratch. New logo, new hierarchy or new finish: the change goes into the master file once and comes down to every version and every language with the same criteria.
Both, and design is the starting point. If you don't have a pack, we design it from the concept up: structure, art direction and a type system built from day one to multiply across languages. If you already have one, we audit it and work on top of it. What we don't do is brand identity or corporate websites.
Yes, where it speeds things up: matching text against the master, spotting differences between versions, preparing the repetitive work. No, where accountability sits: no version ships without a person reviewing it. A wrongly approved label is not a print correction, it is a halted batch. Automation saves you time, not the sign-off.
No. A translation gives you text back. Artwork gives you the file the press runs from. In between sit typographic reflow (German grows, Finnish grows more), legal minimum type size, the safety area and the die line. If the translator solves that, the printer ends up solving it.
Yes, and that is the size it is built for. Eight references across four export markets is already thirty-two versions, usually kept by hand by one person. The minimum to start is one reference: the pilot runs on a real product of yours, with files and timings, and you decide afterwards whether it is worth scaling to the rest of the range. No minimum volume, no lock-in.
Your regulatory adviser validates the content. We answer for the artwork we deliver matching exactly what was validated. We are not regulatory affairs and we do not sign the dossier: whoever executes should not be the one validating themselves. With every version we ship the traceability of what changed, when, and on which file.
A closed price per project, never open hours. After the brief you get scope, timeline and price in writing, and that price holds as long as the scope does not change. There are two lines: preparing the master file, paid once, and each language or market version, quoted per unit. If the flow of changes is continuous, it moves to a monthly fee. And if you want to see the real cost before committing the range, start with one reference.
The same as the second. Each language version is quoted per unit, and the price per language does not go up because the list is longer: the expensive work sits in the master file and is done once. From there, each language is deploying the system, not redesigning the pack. What does vary is the review: that market's rules and, where the script is not Latin, the typographic validation.
Yes, and it is the normal situation once a pack is a few years old. We audit whatever exists and tell you if it is ready to scale; if it is not, we rebuild the artwork from the print PDF, a colour proof or a physical pack. The rebuild is quoted separately and paid once. From then on you work on an editable, versioned master file that belongs to you, not to us.
No. We start in parallel on one reference and your studio carries on with its work. We don't do brand identity or campaigns: we come in where the pack multiplies across languages and markets, which is the part a generalist studio redoes by hand every time. If the master file ends up being ours, your studio keeps designing on top of it.
Yes, and before we see a single file if you prefer. Unregistered formulations, claims still under review and launches with no public date are the normal material of this work. If your company has its own NDA template, we sign yours.
Depends on volume and master state. For a pack with the file already prepared: 10 languages in 2 weeks is realistic. Not prepared: add 1 week of setup paid only once.
Every European variant, CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew and Greek. For a new language, we run a type test before committing a date.
Yes. If your brand is already defined, we work inside it and make sure it survives intact when it multiplies. And if the pack doesn't exist yet, we design it within that guide.
No. We deliver print-ready files. We work with your current print supplier, or recommend one. Our focus is prepress: what arrives at press is right first time.
