Packaging design
Packaging for Austria
Austrian brands in confectionery, coffee, cosmetics and tourism gifts value quality and tradition. Many also sell into Germany, so we often design one German-language system for both markets, with packaging that meets each country's recycling obligations.
Designed for Austria
Layouts planned for German text and local labelling, with first concepts usually within 48 hours.
Made in our own factory
Rigid and printed boxes from 500 units, with a digital proof and 3D mockup before print.
Shipped to Austria
By air for speed or by sea for volume, assembled or flat-packed.
Labelling and compliance

Austria applies EU labelling rules with mandatory information in German. Packaging producer responsibility applies to businesses placing packaging on the Austrian market.

FAQ
Questions from Austria
- Can one design work for Austria and Germany?
- Often, with German text, but packaging registration and recycling obligations differ, so check both.
- Which language must packaging use in Austria?
- Mandatory information is generally required in German. Confirm the exact rules for your product with your importer or adviser, and we lay out the text you supply.
- Air or sea: which should I choose?
- Air for launches and urgent stock; sea for production volumes where the timeline allows. We quote both so you can compare.
- Can collapsible rigid boxes reduce my shipping cost?
- Yes. They ship flat, so many more fit in each carton, which cuts freight volume and storage. We compare assembled and flat options in your quote.
