Packaging design
Packaging for Switzerland
Swiss brands in chocolate, watches, skincare and luxury goods set high standards for precision. Packaging is expected to be perfectly made, with consistent finishes and exact inserts. We design and make rigid boxes for watches, chocolate and premium skincare, checked against approved proofs.
Designed for Switzerland
Layouts planned for German and French and Italian 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 Switzerland
By air for speed or by sea for volume, assembled or flat-packed.
Labelling and compliance
Labelling in Switzerland
Switzerland is not in the EU and has its own food and consumer product law, largely aligned with EU rules. Mandatory information must be in at least one official language (German, French or Italian), and many products use all three.
Last reviewed: 28 October 2026
- At least one official language; many brands use German, French and Italian.
- Swiss food law is close to EU rules but not identical.
- Customs declarations and VAT on imports.

General information, not legal advice. Rules change and depend on your product. We lay out the text you supply; final regulatory review stays with you and your adviser.

FAQ
Questions from Switzerland
- Do you make watch boxes for Swiss brands?
- Yes. We make rigid watch boxes with cushions, inserts and premium finishes, from 500 units.
- Which language must packaging use in Switzerland?
- Mandatory information is generally required in German and/or French and/or Italian. 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.
