Treat packaging as a menu of formats and timelines so artwork doesn’t delay launch:

\n

\n
• Formats: tablets, bars, minis (flow‑wrap), pralines and rigid boxes, seasonal molds and hollow figures.

\n

• Print methods: digital for short or multi‑SKU seasonal runs (1–2 weeks from final art), flexo/litho for high volumes (3–6 weeks including plates and makeready).

\n

• Materials & sustainability: recyclable mono‑material films and coated papers; allow 2–6 weeks for barrier trials and shelf‑life checks.

\n

• Tooling: custom molds add 3–6 weeks for samples; sleeves and rigid boxes add standard print timing.
