Why Choose LA NPDT for Your Packaging Needs?

We have a proven track record of developing packaging for luxury products, where the unboxing experience is as important as the product itself.

Our work with Qannati, a Bahrain-based luxury watch manufacturer, exemplifies this.

We designed and prototyped a luxury watch box that matched the elegance and exclusivity of the Qannati watches, offering practical benefits like low-volume production through advanced 3D printing techniques.

This approach allowed Qannati to produce high-quality packaging on demand, saving on costs and production time while maintaining the premium feel of their brand.

Innovative Prototyping Solutions

Our in-house prototyping capabilities enable us to quickly develop and test packaging designs, ensuring they meet both aesthetic and functional criteria.

For Qannati, we explored various materials and technologies, including CNC machining and resin 3D printing, to find the perfect balance between luxury and manufacturability.

This iterative process resulted in a packaging solution that was not only visually stunning but also cost-effective for limited production runs.

Beyond luxury products, we excel in creating packaging solutions geared towards mass marketing and retail success. Our portfolio includes projects like the Gelato For Your Face packaging, where we designed playful and functional packaging that enhanced product visibility and appeal on store shelves. We understand the nuances of creating packaging that not only protects the product but also engages consumers and drives sales.

Packaging Solutions That Elevate Your Product

Qannati Luxury Watch Packaging Prototype

Qannati, a luxury watch brand, required a packaging solution that reflected the high value and exclusivity of their watches. The packaging needed to be elegant, durable, and manufacturable in small quantities without sacrificing quality.

We developed a series of prototypes using a variety of materials and techniques.

The final solution was a resin 3D-printed box with a luxurious leather interior and an aluminum lock, perfectly embodying the brand’s sophistication.

The use of 3D printing allowed for low-volume production, making it feasible to produce the packaging on-demand and customize it per customer requests.

This approach not only met the aesthetic requirements but also saved Qannati significant costs associated with traditional manufacturing methods.

Marketing Packaging Design for Fashionit®'s U Speaker

Fashionit® wanted packaging for their U Speaker, a portable Bluetooth device, that reflected their youthful brand and grabbed attention on crowded retail shelves.

The packaging needed to protect the product during shipping while also enhancing its appeal to boost sales.

LA NPDT created bold, colorful packaging with playful graphics to reflect Fashionit®’s trendy identity.

The design showcased the speaker’s portability, a key selling feature, while also providing practical protection for the product. High-quality materials ensured both durability and ease of handling for consumers.

The packaging successfully captured Fashionit®’s brand essence and boosted product visibility, serving as both protection and a marketing tool that drove consumer interest and sales.

The project demonstrated LA NPDT’s ability to combine aesthetics with functionality to meet brand objectives.

Custom Packaging Design for Luxury Gelato Skincare Products

The brand needed packaging that would reflect the luxurious nature of their gelato-inspired skincare products.

It had to be visually appealing, provide protection, and communicate the premium, high-end nature of the product.

We designed sophisticated packaging that blended luxury with the playful gelato theme. High-quality materials, such as a soft-touch finish and embossed logos, were used to evoke a sense of exclusivity.

The packaging design incorporated elements reminiscent of traditional gelato containers, reinforcing the brand’s unique concept while standing out in a competitive market.

The result was a packaging solution that not only protected the product but also elevated the brand’s image, contributing to its distinct presence in the luxury skincare sector.
