What is free packaging design help?
Free packaging design help means our designers take what you have, a logo, a sketch, a photo or an idea, and set it up on your box, label or bag so it is ready to print. You get a custom dieline at your size, an artwork check, colors set up in CMYK or Pantone, and a digital proof and 3D mockup before you pay. At CubitPack it’s free with every order.

Food labels need set information
In the US, packaged food labels show the product name, net quantity, ingredient list, major food allergens, Nutrition Facts (for most foods) and the name and place of business of the maker, packer or distributor. We place the text you give us; you confirm it’s correct. FDA Food Labeling Guide

Consumer goods show what’s inside
Most consumer packages must state what the product is, its net quantity and who makes or sells it. FTC Fair Packaging and Labeling Act

Barcodes come from GS1
A retail UPC barcode uses a company prefix licensed from GS1 US. Send us your barcode number and we place it at a scannable size. GS1 US: UPC barcodes

FAQ
Free design help: questions
Is packaging design help really free?
Yes. Setting up your artwork, a custom dieline at your size, the artwork check, the digital proof and the 3D mockup are free with your order.
Do I need a designer?
No. Send what you have: a logo, a sketch, a photo or an AI image. We set it up for print.
What if I don’t have a logo?
Our brand identity service creates your logo and look from zero, then we put it on your packaging.
What files can I send?
Any file you have. Vector files keep logos sharpest, but a photo or a sketch is fine to start; we tell you if anything needs a better version.
Will I see the design before I pay?
Yes. You get a digital proof and a 3D mockup, and you pay only after you approve them.
What happens when I approve the proof?
Check spelling and details carefully first: errors in an approved proof are the customer’s. Cancelling is free until you approve; after approval the order can’t be cancelled, and production takes 10–14 business days after approval and payment.
Do you design the box structure too?
Yes. If your product needs a special box shape or insert, our structural design service handles it. Whether you need custom packaging design service, packaging artwork setup, box design help, label design help, free dieline artwork placement or 3d packaging mockup proof, your account manager coordinates every step.
