Concept to printed files
Your concept looks good.
Now let’s make it printable.
Send us your approved packaging concept. We rebuild it as technically correct, print-ready artwork your printer can actually use.
Start with one concept file. No payment, printer dieline or production assets are needed for the initial review.
Concept to finished artwork
See what “printable” actually looks like.
Freckleart created the Thins® American Buffalo Wings concept, developed the finished pack and prepared the production-ready flat artwork within an established brand system.
“Their ability to take master design files and translate them into production-ready packaging artwork is second to none.”

The gap between concept and production
A concept can show the idea.
It can’t finish the artwork.
Concept images, Canva files and low-resolution visuals are usually flattened, incorrectly sized and missing the technical structure your printer needs. We rebuild them with the right dieline, layers, colour setup, bleed, fonts, images and production checks.

The experience behind the service
A real packaging problem started Freckleart.
Freckleart began in 2014 when Rhiannon Mauala was approached to rebuild an approved low-resolution packaging concept that could not be reproduced for print.

Straight answers.
Is this an automatic conversion?
No. Your concept provides the visual direction. An experienced packaging artwork specialist rebuilds it properly, checks the technical details and prepares the files for print.
What do I need for the initial review?
Start with your approved concept image or concept PDF, the intended packaging format and any information you have about the image, logo and font sources. Production assets and the printer’s current dieline are requested only if the project is accepted.
How does the Asset & Brand Risk Screen work?
Before we quote or accept a job, the supplied concept is screened for identifiable image, logo, font and trademark risks. Possible matches or unknown sources are flagged for evidence, replacement or further review. This is a practical risk screen. It is not legal clearance or a guarantee of ownership.
What if an image, logo or font is flagged?
You can provide evidence that you own or have licensed it, purchase the required licence through your own account, or supply a replacement. Freckleart does not purchase third-party licences on your behalf. If a replacement changes the approved design, it must return to your designer.
Will the finished artwork look exactly like my concept?
It will be rebuilt as a visually faithful, production-ready interpretation, not an exact pixel-for-pixel copy. Rendered lighting, gradients, textures and product details may need to be simplified or recreated. Live text may use the closest suitable commercially licensed font when the concept font cannot be identified, supplied or legally used. You will review these differences during proofing.
How are quotes and payments handled?
Every suitable project receives an individual written estimate from Freckleart after the concept review. Freckleart handles the quote, invoice and payment directly. The published prices are indicative ranges, not an automatic checkout price.
What counts as a proof round?
Your initial proof is supplied for review. The price includes up to two consolidated rounds of customer changes after that proof. Each returned list of changes counts as one round, so feedback from all stakeholders should be combined before it is submitted. Additional rounds are $250 each.
What happens after I accept the quote?
Once the Freckleart quote is accepted and every production requirement is ready, the artwork rebuild begins. Freckleart sends proofs for review, manages your feedback and approval, then supplies the completed print-ready files.
When can production begin?
The rebuild can begin only after the product code, printer’s current dieline and print specifications, approved and compliant label content, confirmed number of colours, confirmed finishes and their application areas, usable production assets and the agreed payment terms have all been supplied or satisfied. You remain responsible for the accuracy and compliance of the approved content.
How long does the rebuild take?
Standard production is 7–10 business days. Urgent production is 3–5 business days at +40%, subject to capacity and project suitability. Timing starts only when every production requirement is complete, and pauses while we wait for missing information or client feedback.
What are the FOP and BOP visual renders?
They are optional polished visuals created from the completed artwork for presentations, approvals or online product listings. A front-of-pack render is $120 and a back-of-pack render is $120. You can choose either one or both.
Why do labels, film and cartons cost different amounts?
Each format carries different production complexity. Film includes seals, print direction and technical layers, while cartons add multiple connected panels, folds and glue areas. The starting price reflects the work and production risk involved.
Does this include legal or regulatory approval?
No. You remain responsible for the accuracy and legal compliance of all claims, ingredients, barcodes, nutrition information and supplied content. We make the artwork technically ready for your printer.
