Packaging design
Packaging for Sweden
Swedish brands are known for clean design, functional products and a strong sustainability focus, in beauty, fashion, homeware, coffee and food. Packaging is expected to be minimal, well made and responsible.
We design restrained, paper-based packaging with mono-material structures where possible, and make rigid and printed boxes that suit a Scandinavian aesthetic.
Swedish brands often sell across the Nordics and into the wider EU, and customers there expect packaging to be honest about materials and recycling. We help you choose materials that are easy to sort and keep environmental statements specific, so the packaging supports your brand rather than raising questions.
Designed for Sweden
Layouts planned for Swedish 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 Sweden

Labelling and compliance
Labelling in Sweden
Sweden applies EU labelling rules, with food labelling overseen by the Swedish Food Agency and mandatory food information required in Swedish. Cosmetics are supervised by the Swedish Medical Products Agency. Producer responsibility applies to packaging.

FAQ
Questions from Sweden

- Mandatory food information must be in Swedish. Nordic multi-language labels are common.
- Do you design minimal Scandinavian packaging?
- Yes. We design restrained, paper-based packaging that suits Nordic brands.
- Can packaging be plastic-free?
- Often. We use card inserts, paper-based mailers and no plastic windows where the product allows.
- Can one design work across the Nordics?
- Often, with multi-language back panels for Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.
- Who handles EU customs for Sweden?
- Your customs broker handles the import declaration, VAT and duty.

- Which currency will my quote be in?
- Tell us your preferred currency when you ask for a quote. We confirm the currency and payment terms in the quote itself.
- 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.
