High Quality New Product Development Visuals

Our NPD visuals are built from CAD, so size, shape and print intent are right. Swap messaging, colours, claims and flashes in hours, not weeks. Use them for internal reviews, stakeholder alignment, retailer sell-in and consumer testing. Fast, precise and created by packaging experts, so brand managers can compare routes and move with confidence.

Why Work With Fantastic Mr Box?

We’re a UK-based, Made In Britain accredited packaging company. With over 20 years of experience in packaging design, artwork and print, we combine creative thinking with hands-on production know-how. We’ve helped many FMCG brands and creative teams improve their packaging with:

  • Lower environmental impact

  • Stronger brand storytelling

  • Faster time to market

  • Higher customer satisfaction

  • NPD Visuals (New Product Development) are computer-generated approval images that show your pack accurately in 3D for internal review, stakeholder sign-off, retailer sell-in and research. They are for decision-making, not final marketing.

  • Dimensions and layout reflect your dielines and CAD. Print intent is shown clearly. Colour is indicative on screen, so treat it as a guide until a physical proof is approved.

  • Fashion packaging is typically made from corrugated board for strength and protection, particularly for ecommerce shipping and bulk retail handling. Rigid board is used for higher value or luxury products, often paired with tissue wrapping for presentation. Carton board is used more for secondary elements such as bands, swing tags, or marketing cards rather than the main garment packaging.

  • Yes. We create full designs that allow for variants in flavours, colours, scents, sizes and flashes, so you can compare range architecture at a glance.

  • Initial visuals are typically delivered within a few days of receiving files and a clear brief. Timelines scale with the number of variants or routes.

  • Yes. We supply clean, consistent visuals for buyer decks and consumer testing, helping you secure listings and refine messaging before print.

  • Usually. Teams resolve most decisions digitally, so you need fewer mockups. That cuts cost and speeds time to sign-off and press. However, we can help with physical prototypes if required.
