FAQ: NPD Packaging Visuals

What are NPD visuals?
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.

What files do you need?
Dielines, CAD if available, artwork files and brand guidelines. A simple brief outlining variants, claims and priorities helps us plan the routes.

How accurate are the visuals?
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.

Can you build variant sweeps?
Yes. We create full matrices for flavours, colours, scents, sizes and flashes, so you can compare range architecture at a glance.

How fast is delivery?
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.

Are these suitable for retailer sell-in and research?
Yes. We supply clean, consistent visuals for buyer decks and consumer testing, helping you secure listings and refine messaging before print.

Do NPD visuals reduce prototypes?
Usually. Teams resolve most decisions digitally, so you need fewer mockups. That cuts cost and speeds time to sign-off and press.
