Packaging Design for Product-Based Brands
If your product is strong but the packaging isn’t pulling its weight, we fix that.
I’m Nadine, founder of Bluedogz Design, a Montreal-based micro studio specializing in packaging for product brands. With over 15 years of experience across design, manufacturing, wholesale, and retail, I design packaging that looks premium and performs in the real world.
Packaging is your positioning. It’s the first impression, the shelf presence, the reason someone picks it up instead of walking past.
My job is to make sure they pick it up.
Packaging that looks good is nice. Packaging that sells is better.
What I design
Packaging design and systems for product-based brands, including:
• Candle boxes and premium vessels
• Perfume and fragrance packaging
• Grooming and beauty
• Lifestyle and home goods
• Labels, cartons, and retail-ready systems
• Cohesive visual systems for multi-product lines
Every detail matters. Typography, hierarchy, materials, finishes, production realities.
Built for retail, even if you start online
Most brands say they’ll think about retail later. That’s a mistake.
I design with buyer expectations, shelf impact, production constraints, and real pricing structures in mind. Even if you launch online first, your packaging should be retail ready.
Who I work with
Product-based brands that care about clean, elevated design:
• Fragrance and candle brands
• Grooming and beauty
• Lifestyle and home
• Founder-led product businesses
• Brands preparing for wholesale
• Rebrands ready to level up
If the product is strong, the packaging should match.
