Everything required for production will be included. Your product packaging design will be provided in the appropriate formats tailored to your specifications, typically including editable Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, PDF, or EPS files.

For those without design software (though your printer will have it), web preview files in PNG or JPEG formats will also be included.

Additionally, you will receive full legal copyright ownership, ensuring that the design belongs exclusively to you.

Lots of ideas await you! For inspiration, explore ideahits to see fantastic examples of packages crafted by our design community.

Please provide as many specifics as possible. Upload your logo and share any required dimensions. Consider what information you want on your package and ensure you have those details ready. This can include packaging type, dimensions, bottle or box sizes, preferred designs, brand details, product specifics, SKUs, product photos, printing requirements, and any other specifications crucial to your design.

The more information you provide, the better designers can create a tailored design for you!

Absolutely! We’ve successfully created thousands of unique product packaging designs, including boxes, bags, packets, tubes, bottles, and canisters.

Not sure exactly what you need? Opt for “Other” in the design brief and let designers know you’re open to suggestions. Our experienced designers are capable of fulfilling all your product packaging design requirements.

Your custom packaging design contest includes one winning product package in a single size.

If you require designs for multiple SKUs, package sizes, flavors, or styles, you have two options: you can either launch a second contest or initiate a 1-to-1 Project with your winning designer to develop the additional assets.

Yes. If you have specific images, such as a logo or product photos, that should be included on your package, please provide them to designers along with your brief.

Unless otherwise specified, designers may also utilize stock images (purchased from a third party) in your design. If a designer incorporates stock art, they will disclose which images they are using and provide watermarked versions in their entries. Upon selecting the winning design, you’ll need to purchase the necessary stock art and supply it to the designer so they can finalize the design.

A dieline template is a flat outline of your package, showing all the cutlines and folds necessary for printing. Designers might request this template at the end of the contest to create the final files that match the specifications of your chosen printer or manufacturer.

On ideahits, designers agree to upload only original artwork, retaining the rights to their design submissions until you select a contest winner. During the design handover stage, the designer transfers the rights to you, making you the owner of the copyright for your winning package design.

We guarantee that you’ll receive an excellent package design at any pricing level, but our higher-priced packages offer more design options and enhanced support.

Here’s how it works: Paying more increases the prize for the winning designer, attracting more experienced designers to your contest. This means you get a greater selection of high-quality designs to choose from. With more options, additional time is needed to review your designs. That’s why our Platinum level includes dedicated managers to help improve your brief, offer advice, and provide feedback, ensuring you get the most from our designer community.

When selecting your product packaging contest level, consider the time you can commit and your experience in writing briefs and collaborating with designers. If you’re unsure, contact us for a design consultation.

Before launching your packaging design contest, select “Make your contest private” from the Contest options section. This will ensure your contest is unsearchable on the web and prevent designers from using their entries elsewhere.

This option will automatically include a standard NDA template with your contest. Alternatively, you can upload your own NDA if you prefer.

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee within 60 days of payment on all Packaging Design Contests, except for those with a guaranteed prize or those that have entered the Final Round. You can contact us anytime for assistance in rewriting your brief, reopening your project to achieve better results, and selecting a winning design. Please note, if we refund your contest, you are not legally entitled to use any of the designs submitted.
