Packaging design
Packaging for Oman
Oman has a distinctive heritage in frankincense, fragrance, dates and halwa, and many brands want packaging that honours that heritage while looking modern. Premium gift boxes, tins and rigid boxes with inserts are common for both local customers and tourists.
We design bilingual Arabic and English packaging, and make rigid boxes with dividers and inserts for gift collections.
Tourism is an important channel for Omani products, so packaging often needs to travel well in a suitcase and explain the product to visitors who may not know it. We design compact, sturdy gift boxes with short bilingual descriptions that tell the story of the product.
Designed for Oman
Layouts planned for Arabic and English 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 Oman
By air for speed or by sea for volume, assembled or flat-packed.

Labelling in Oman
Oman's labelling rules largely follow Gulf (GSO) standards. Food safety and labelling are overseen by the Food Safety and Quality Center, and other consumer products by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion. Arabic is required on labels for many products.
