At Blackthorn design we like to do things differently, we work closely with you and in many cases become another member of your team, our personal approach coupled with our background in creative design make us an ideal partner covering all of your creative requirements. 
With an established link with the printing industry across many disciplines, but especially within the flexographic sector, we have partnered with many household brands to deliver great design.  We are very familiar with the complexities of the print process and therefore ensure a smooth transition from screen to print.
Our skills are not only limited to print, we have a wide range of experience covering all the areas a modern creative agency must do in order to offer value as well as innovation.

Give us a call to discuss your design requirements in more detail.


Packaging in a supermarket  has less than three seconds to grab the attention of a consumer.

Those three seconds are exceedingly important when you consider that more than 70% of purchasing decisions are made at the shelf.  Add to this the fact that supermarkets can contain on average 40,000 packs to choose from, your pack has got to work hard.

Packaging’s role is threefold:
  • To sell the product.
  • To protect the product.
  • To facilitate the use of the product.

We can help with all aspects of packaging design to ensure your pack attracts the buyer!


Brand design is a process of creating a distinct identity and personality in order to communicate and promote an organisation, person, product or service. Because the term ‘brand’ itself refers to a very broad range of attributes, this identity goes way beyond the purely visual, spanning many different aspects of an organisation and its products or services and harnessing many different communication and design skills.
key aspects you should consider:
  • The big idea – what lies at the heart of your company?
  • Values – what do you believe in?
  • Vision – where are you going?
  • Personality – how do you want to come across?
We can help in this process to deliver a clear and concise brand message that communicates your message as your clients and customers  expect.


Pack Mock-Ups and 3 Dimensional Renders is another service that we can offer.  We can develop full pack mock-ups on a variety of materials and substrates giving you a better idea of how your design will look on completion.  
Alternatively we can do a 3D Render using Photoshop to let your sales team or buyers know how the product will look before the expense of production.
  • Actual Mock-up on similar or same materials.
  • 3D Pack Renders using Photoshop.
  • Promotional images and sales posters.
