How can business owners in Denver find the right packaging design company? The answer lies in more than just creativity. An ideal partner should understand local consumer preferences, sustainability trends, and the balance between brand identity and practicality.
At YPGREEN, we often advise restaurants, coffee shops, and retailers to carefully evaluate a design firm’s past work, customization capabilities, and approach to eco-friendly materials.
These elements ensure the final product isn’t just visually striking but also resonates with Denver’s environmentally conscious market. In this article, we introduce some of the top packaging design studios in Denver to guide your search.
Urban Canvas
Services & Case Studies
Urban Canvas is a creative agency with offices in Colorado and New York that emphasizes the union of “beauty + utility” in brand work. Their service categories include Branding, Advertising, Websites, Motion, and importantly Packaging — from single mailers to full product lines. They show a “Recent Packaging” case: NoFo Brew Co. with a refreshed core packaging system.
They present their work under a “Work” section that shows how brands are built with visual identity, messaging, and packages integrated. Their “About” page positions them as boutique yet capable, balancing creative power with client attention.
Recommendation / Review Note
For brands that need packaging design plus robust digital presence, identity, and storytelling, Urban Canvas is a strong candidate. The fact that packaging is explicitly among their services means you don’t have to tack it on — it’s already part of their vision. For craft beverage brands, consumer goods, or boutique product lines, Urban Canvas is worth reviewing as a design partner.
Twelve 24 Design
Services & Case Studies
Twelve 24 Design is a graphic & web design agency (Denver) whose services explicitly include Packaging. On their “Services” page, they list boxes, clamshells, six-packs, POS displays, and more under packaging offerings. Their broader service menu includes Logos & Identity, Websites, Print, Advertising, Direct Mail, Environmental Signage, Merchandise & More.
Their portfolio is less extensive in product packaging visuals publicly, but their stated capability in packaging design (and POS/display work) means they are equipped to handle packaging assignments.
Recommendation / Review Note
If you are looking for a design partner that can deliver packaging (product boxes, display packaging, point-of-sale displays) in addition to identity, website, and print collateral, Twelve 24 Design is a sensible pick. Their services explicitly include packaging design, so they are not just branding shops. I recommend reviewing them especially for small to medium product lines or local goods needing well-designed packaging that aligns with their broader visual presence.
Six Leaf Design
Services & Portfolio Highlights
Six Leaf Design is a freelance branding + web designer based in Denver, Colorado. Their core offerings are brand design, logo development, and web design. They describe working with small‐businesses, startups, and creative clients, building visual identities and sites that “deliver polish, professionalism, and good old-fashioned profits.”
Their portfolio emphasizes brand + web design. I did not see strong evidence of structural packaging projects (box or label mockups) in their published work. Their strength lies in clean, expressive brand visuals and digital identity.
Recommendation / Review Note
If your project is more brand identity + visual system + web presence, and packaging is a smaller supportive component (like labels, sleeves, simple wraps), Six Leaf Design is worth a close review. They bring solid visual clarity and aesthetic sensibility, which means packaging will likely look well aligned with the brand. But for highly structural or retail‐grade packaging, you might want to supplement with a packaging specialist.
FlowState Branding
Services & Packaging Cases
FlowState Branding is a full-service agency based in Denver. Their service offerings include Strategy, Naming, Identity Design, Packaging & Collateral, Web & Interactive, Custom Merch, Production & Manufacturing, Fulfillment, etc.
A standout project is NuRange Cold Brew: FlowState took on the full brand development and packaging design for their coffee product line, designing labeled cans with a minimal, modern aesthetic and careful color treatment to help the product stand out on shelf.
They’ve also earned recognition for packaging — for example, Escapely Escape Room Box Packaging by FlowState was awarded a bronze by The One Club’s Colorado chapter in packaging design.
Recommendation / Review Note
If packaging is a core element of your product offering — especially for consumer goods like beverages, specialty food, wellness items, or merch — FlowState Branding is a strong candidate to review. Their portfolio demonstrates they don’t treat packaging as an afterthought, but integrate it deeply with brand identity and collateral. Their capability to handle fulfillment, production, and physical execution adds extra value.
For example, local cafés, beverage startups, or artisanal product brands aiming for packaging that looks polished, cohesive, and consumer-ready would benefit from considering FlowState. I recommend placing them on your shortlist when packaging design must align with brand strategy and real product production.
Jungl Studio
Services & Portfolio Focus
Jungl Studio positions themselves as a branding, web, photography & animation studio. Their core offerings include branding, logo / visual identity, web design, photo & video, and animation.
Their “Expertise” section highlights “Graphic Design + Branding” and they present a variety of client names (Uptown & Humboldt, Jimbo & Jules, Tipsy Tabs) across brand / design applications.
In their “Photo Galleries” they showcase a wide range of branded visuals — product photos, brand imagery, environmental and packaging-adjacent scenes.
If you are a brand that values beautiful photography, brand visuals, and want your packaging to be visually compelling (rather than structurally complex), Jungl Studio is worth reviewing. You should ask them specifically for any packaging or product branding examples to gauge how they’d handle your packaging challenge.
KD-Design Studio, M. Kettler, MoreMatter
Services & Visibility Caveats
For KD-Design Studio, M. Kettler, and MoreMatter, I was unable (within the publicly accessible sources I checked) to locate strong, confirmed cases of packaging / product packaging design or detailed portfolios. Their service descriptions or web presence did not clearly emphasize packaging in the examples I saw.
Recommendation / Review Note
These firms may well be capable of packaging or product branding work — many design studios handle that even if not prominently shown — but you should request sample packaging work (boxes, label systems, mockups, structural design) when you vet them.
If packaging is a key deliverable for your project, place those with visible, confirmed packaging portfolios (FlowState, possibly others) higher in priority for your featured list, and perhaps include KD-Design, M. Kettler, MoreMatter as secondary options (if or when they provide proof of suitable work).
Anchovies Agency
Services & Positioning
Anchovies is a branding agency with offices in Denver and New York focusing on Brand Strategy, Naming, Logo & Identity, Web Design, Social Media, Copywriting, Advertising, and Consultation. They emphasize that identity is embodied in all senses—including “the packaging people tear open” as part of brand experience. According to Clutch/industry listings, packaging design is one of their service areas (about 15 % of their portfolio) .
Notable Examples / Strengths
While their website showcases branding, identity, naming and web design more prominently, they do position themselves to make packaging part of a full brand experience. Their design philosophy calls identity “everything you can see, touch, smell, feel and hear,” which suggests they approach packaging as part of the brand’s multisensory expression.
Recommendation / Review Note
If your project combines brand identity, naming, and packaging (or aims to integrate the unboxing experience as part of the brand), Anchovies is certainly worth reviewing. Their strength in identity and experience design positions them to treat packaging not as a separate piece but as part of the whole brand journey. For artisan goods, lifestyle products, boutique brands—where packaging is part of the emotional connection—Anchovies may provide a fresh, holistic take.
Andon Guenther Design
Services & Positioning
Andon Guenther Design (AGD) positions itself as a full-service branding & creative agency that specializes in packaging design, brand development, brand touchpoint design, and strategy. Their site features numerous packaging projects such as Dymatize ISO100, TAPOUT RTD Launch Kit, and others, which include carton engineering and award-winning redesigns.
They’ve also won awards in packaging and are publicly recognized for bringing packaging design to the fore in their offerings.
Notable Examples / Strengths
AGD’s portfolio includes high-profile product packaging for nutrition / supplement / consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands such as Dymatize, MusclePharm, Tapout, etc. They have demonstrated capacity to not only design packaging graphics, but also integrate them with brand systems and campaign touchpoints.
Recommendation / Review Note
If your project’s packaging is mission-critical (retail, shelf impact, brand differentiation) Andon Guenther Design should be on your short list. Their proven, award-winning packaging work and ability to integrate brand + packaging is a strong value. For food, beverage, supplements, or any product where packaging must both look and perform, they are a top choice to review.
Brink Design Studio
Services & Positioning
Brink Design Studio (Denver) explicitly lists Packaging Design, Brand Identity, Print & Collateral, and Digital Solutions among its specialties. Their “Packaging Design” page states they work in beauty, CBD, food & beverage, etc.
Notable Examples / Strengths
Their work is described as producing “enticing collateral, product packaging, and visual identity” to help brands with recognition and sales. They also show packaging examples (e.g. their Instagram / Facebook promote CBD packaging, product packaging, etc.).
Recommendation / Review Note
For brands needing packaging that aligns with identity + marketing collateral + digital presence, Brink Design Studio is a solid pick. Their explicit packaging offering and visible product packaging work make them practical for food, beauty, wellness, CBD, or boutique product lines. I recommend reviewing them especially when you want design consistency across product + marketing materials.
Design Tree Studios
Services & Positioning
Design Tree Studios is a design / branding agency whose portfolio displays strong work in brand identity, print, corporate and nonprofit clients. However, public visibility of product packaging / consumer packaged goods is weak or not obvious in their displayed portfolio.
Notable Examples / Strengths
Their work shows solid branding, identity design for clients in varied sectors (health, education, institutions, nonprofits).
Recommendation / Review Note
If packaging is not your highest priority but identity + branding + digital / print collateral are key, Design Tree Studios is absolutely worth review. For product brands where packaging is important, you should request packaging or label samples or ask whether they can support that. Use them if your project’s primary challenge is identity + brand consistency, and packaging is secondary or simpler in design requirements.
How to Design Food Packaging That Appeals to Denver Consumers
Designing food packaging that appeals to Denver consumers requires a thoughtful approach that blends sustainability, local culture, and practicality. Denver residents are known for their eco-conscious lifestyle, so choosing biodegradable, compostable, or recyclable materials is an important first step.
In terms of design style, simplicity and natural tones often resonate, reflecting the city’s outdoor culture and appreciation for authenticity.
Brands can also draw inspiration from Denver’s vibrant food and craft beer scene, incorporating elements that celebrate local pride. Functionality is equally essential: with the popularity of takeout, breweries, and farmer’s markets, packaging must be sturdy, easy to carry, and suitable for fresh products.
By aligning design with environmental values and community identity, businesses can create packaging that stands out while building trust and loyalty among Denver consumers.
